Visual Pitch from Curiosity with Gusto by Felix Harling

Many people feel blocked if they are asked to sketch or to draw at the office. They think “I have to be an artist” and refrain from just doing it: self-censorship applied.

Eventually, thank you to Sandra Schulze and Reinhard Ematinger who opened my eyes and taught me the basics of sketching and story telling. Sandra is a truly professional graphical recorder. Reinhard is one of the best trainer I’ve ever met and a gifted business innovation facilitator.

What is your experience with sketching?

  1. I have gained confidence to use the visibility method to talk to customers and explain process and ideas using this method. I am a great proponent for visual presentation using drawings as explained in the Visual Processing method.
