8. Sketchnote is a term coined in spring 2007 by Mike Rohde when,
frustrated by the usual method of taking notes, he tried something
new. The term sketchnote describes in one word a handwritten note
enriched with a visual language made of drawings, arrows, text, and
symbols.
“Sketchnote is a visual map”

12. Three critical factors determine to a great extent the presence a
person is able to muster and maintain in any given interaction with
others. These factors are:
1. Focus – the attention you bring to the moment
2. Openness – the receptivity of heart and mind
you bring to the moment
3. Energy – the physical emotional vigour you
bring to the moment
