I took these photos of a series of columns in a graphical organizer that I wrote from student comments, for our examination on world history.
All that these photos did is remind me that I give sucky exams.
Here's my visual notes to help me guide my actions today. The big one (in my mind if not on the notes), plan an outline for a Visual Thinking Bootcamp I want to run in Philly sometime soon.
The "May 27" part of the notes refer to the upcoming VizThink Philly 2 meeting.

If you want to get multiple angles on a talk you give, be sure to come speak at the International Forum of Visual Practitioners Conference. This shot shows four of us (I'm the guy in the blue shirt) creating large scale visual notes of Dan Roam's talk about why visual thinking is so powerful.

When it comes to productivity, satisfaction, and successful thinking, the mental/emotional environment is key. This worksheet showcases ten elements proven essential to productive thinking.
When used with groups, leaders can better understand the environment through the eyes of colleagues, employees, and others involved. Once-hidden issues can then be discussed before exploding into destructive problems. (Based on research by Ekvall, 1996.)
Once filled out, the Workplace Environment Worksheet can be used to spur discussion about the current workplace environment, the desired environment, and what is needed to get to the desired state.

Embarrassment is a partner in the creative process—a key collaborator.
~ Anne Bogart
Creativity involves taking a lot of risks. And there's no guarantee every risk taken will unfold perfectly. Highly creative people are willing to risk embarrassment in the hope it will lead to a great creation.
Every creative act, whether big or small, involves this risk to some degree. In fact, many great inventions were laughed at when first introduced. So the possibility of embarrassment is not just limited to the arts.
If your work does not sufficiently embarrass you, then very likely no one will be touched by it.
