Why Visuals in Meetings Are So Good

A group of executives smiles in front of a wall of graphics created during their workshop

Many of you are folks I’ve had the pleasure of getting to collaborate with, and you’ve experienced the magic sparked by visuals directly.

Even if you get it, sometimes you need to persuade someone else why it’s an excellent idea to have a visual partner in the room. This is what I hear from clients time and again.

Graphic recording…

  • Wraps your people in the beauty and richness of their ideas when the room is full of walls covered in colorful and content-full drawings

  • Sparks creativity

  • Brings joy and laughter

  • Supports groups as they co-create the extraordinary

  • Helps you get more done in less time

  • Deepens shared understanding

  • Can create a distinct brand and feel for events

Here’s what an absolutely phenomenal recent client said:

Karina is a joy to work with. She was thoughtful about all parts of our meeting planning process, and extremely skilled at guiding our teams’ conversation. She was able to adapt on the fly when important conversations arose and seamlessly adjust to the needs of the group while keeping us on-task to accomplish our goals. With her help, our group made progress I didn’t think was possible! We have a strong sense of our mission and values, and tangible plans to realize them. The visuals that she sketches during the call helped ground our conversations and are really easy to work with as we move forward. Thanks, Karina!

Once again, thank you from my heart and soul for your support, great senses of humor, brilliant minds, collaboration and what you're each doing to make the world a better place.

Cheers,
