Imagine you’re in a class or a meeting, and the teacher or facilitator asks the group a question. Now picture two different paths that can unfold directly after the question is asked…

Have you ever been wildly proud of something you or your team accomplished, but then wondered…Can this scale?

One of my favorite things about being a graphic recorder is that I get to work across sectors and pick up on patterns and shifts. For example, right now, three of my clients are all figuring out how to scale across the country in very different areas.

Is your team is planning an off-site retreat soon? If you are, I cannot recommend one thing to your agenda design team enough. If you want to…Make the most of the fact your team traveled to (most likely) an intentional location, help shift mindsets from “me” to “we”, build trust, leverage your time together in person…

Build in unstructured time for your group to get to know each other.

Having a clear purpose in a meeting is something you’ve heard from me before – whether it’s a 15-minute check in or a 2-day off-site, when the organizers and the participants are extremely clear on the purpose of why they’re being asked to be there, engagement and the ability to measure if the outcomes were successful follow.
