How To Use Visual Communication To Align, Collaborate And Share Stories with Ben Crothers
Description
Organisational change can be a complex beast - there are so many perspectives, impacts and moving parts. As a change leader, how are you working with stakeholders to help them make sense of complexity, collaborate, think better together and problem-solve? It can be really tricky! I believe that improving our visual communication capability is a BIG opportunity for change leaders and change managers. By the end of this episode, I know you’ll be in agreement with me.
Visual communication is a movement I have become more and more interested in. That’s why I am stoked to welcome Ben Crothers to the show today. Ben is a visual thinker, facilitator, trainer and author of three books as well as a speaker. He helps teams solve problems and generate winning ideas for strategy and products and services with workshops, training and lots and lots of sketching.
Ben is the Principal Facilitator at Bright Pilots, a visual facilitation consultancy that is all about helping teams build innovation capabilities for better idea generation, prototyping and business cases. Ben does this by facilitating workshops and bringing conversations to life with sketching and visualisation.
Get ready to discover the world of visual communication and how it can help you better lead and work with stakeholders to deliver organisational change.
We cover so much in this conversation. Ben shares how employing visual communication can help clarify and align your team, a great practical visual communication technique for stakeholder insights and how to unleash creativity at work. Ben also breaks down the first two steps you must take to start building your visual communication skills. This was such a fun chat - Ben shares so much gold. I know that you're going to be as excited as I am to try to use visual communication techniques in your very next meeting.
