Pierre Kwand of People On-The-Go, a company that provides webinars for breaking business topics, interviewed me recently for one of his Lunch and Learn Programs. The presentation used Prezi to review the key concepts in Visual Meetings: How Graphic, Sticky Notes & Idea Mapping Can Transform Productivity. I'm happy to report that the book is still selling at the top of its categories on Amazon--so well, in fact, that Wiley & Company are signing me up for a sequel called Visual Teams: Designing for Commitment, Innovations and High Performance (due out in the fall). If you would like to listen to the Lunch and Learn talk just click here. The talk is in three segments.
Hi David,
Thanks for the opportunity to listen in on your webinar. It is a delightful complement to your "Visual Meetings" book, and convincingly demonstrates the principles of engaging your audience through graphics.
My husband and I have used your templates and graphic facilitation methods with planning and project teams around the world. Through the years of working with your materials, we continue to be amazed by the group creativity that evolves when people encounter visual meetings.
Your book provides many windows on why simple drawings are so effective at encouraging shared understanding and systems thinking. Concepts such as "push creates resistance and pull creates participation" are helping us explain how graphic facilitation draws people into dialogue and collaboration. This is handy when meeting sponsors have not yet had direct experience of the results.
Your work grows ever richer. I look forward to your next book on Visual Teams.
