the Storyteller
Draw people closer
When people attend events they don’t want just new information, they seek connection.
One way humans find that connection is through stories.
For years I’ve stood at the front of rooms full of brilliant people sharing great ideas, and translated those ideas into visual stories people can relate to.
Other times, I’ve been the speaker in the room, sharing my personal stories with practical frameworks to inspire them.
Information doesn’t make people feel connected, but stories do. And whether I’m drawing or speaking, storytelling is how I help people feel seen and connected.
What are Visual Notes?
Imagine this… 💭
You take your seat at a long-awaited conference.
The speaker walks onstage and begins, using a clicker to go from one powerpoint slide to the next. You are interested in the content, but find that your mind is wandering anyway.
But mid-yawn, you notice something… different. Next to the stage there’s a guy that appears to be drawing something. Then you realize what he’s doing.
You gotta be kidding me… is this for real?
He is drawing the ideas that the speaker is sharing, in REAL TIME! 😱
You sit up straight now and lean in. Suddenly, you realize you are actually paying more attention to the speaker because you want to see how their ideas connect to the sketches.
A “distraction” has never made you pay this much attention before!
When it’s all over you get closer, phone in hand. 🤳🏻
“Wait for my colleagues to see this! This is awesome!”
That artist improvising clever sketches, accurately matching the main ideas from the speaker, giving you joy and amazement, is making the experience unforgettable to you.
That’s what visual notes do.
And this is the experience I’ve provided more than a hundred times since 2018.
In a nutshell: I will attend your event, join your webinar or livestream, and create a fun and compelling graphic that will make you top of mind for your audience.
It’s like magic! 🪄
