What do your meetings look like? No, really look like. A friend pointed out this site to me and I am finding it quite fascinating. I have often thought that all meetings should require a "court reporter" someone who sits back and just observes what is happening, sketching they dynamics, and the heart of what happened. Office politics can cloud ideas, and perceptions and in the end can deter from making progress. But what if you had a third party, someone on the outside, just visualizing the facts, the ideas, the creativity. Well, here is someone doing just that....and more.

It's called "Graphic Facilitation" and I love it! And I think there are a lot of naturals out there, you know who they are....doodling during meetings, having to draw out or sketch ideas to fully understand them, I know I am guilty of that myself. Take a look at Brandy's work, I find it fascinating. And how she presents it on her site, is brilliant. She does what she says she does. She could have written out a long and boring description of the process, but what a better way than to show it visually. Brilliant!
