Visualizing Ideas

“What? I’m sorry were you saying something? I wasn’t listening. I was supposed to be, but my monkey brain trailed off somewhere between real revenue and gross profit”…

Now, while you won’t actually admit this out loud, let’s face it, we’ve all been there – at a meeting or presentation and all of the sudden…Where were we? The fact is that overall, unless you’re a trained expert, listening for long periods of time is one of the hardest things for people to do.

Most of us retain ideas faster and more effectively through visualization.

BEHOLD! The vision board!

Yes, a vision board. Don’t make fun of me. They’re awesome. But this board? This takes the cake. Luckily for us, Ariana from Ink Factory was on hand at Engage in the Bahamas to take my ideas and create a huge visual. 

The folks at Ink Factory are specifically trained to listen and translate what they hear into their own detailed visual language for the audience. I especially love how Ariana focused on some metaphors, as her training has also taught her that people remember metaphors well and later make the connections to the rest of the information.

To boot, she created the entire visual of my ideas during my speech. I can’t express how much this can amplify your event and I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to have this visual created for us. Thank you again Ariana!

  1. This is awesome! I love visuals but am a terrible artist. What a great business. Off to find out if they work remotely…

  2. This is/ a great idea. Can you please take a picture and post it so we can actually read the board

  3. I LOVE this! I am always trying to create easy and accessible ways for people to understand the value of what I teach as a voice and movement teacher.
