On Monday, I met up with Vanessa Randle of Thinking Visually Ltd. She's a graphic recorder who does amazing visuals of conferences and meetings. We met a year ago and share a passion for the use of graphics with groups to help people (literally) see what they mean. Hand-drawn visuals on big paper is key to the way I work. It's so effective with groups - it's energising in a very visual age. It is my answer to 'Death by PowerPoint'.

We're working together to make sure that people out there who work with groups have access to these tools, whether they are trainers, facilitators, project managers or presenters. We're planning to give away an image library for free, image by image, fortnight by fortnight. Each image will come with a guide to drawing it and tips for using it. This will help people to build up their skills slowly but surely by practising easy but powerful graphic icons. Of course, we'll also run courses for those that want to pick up both the skills and the kit in just one day. Would you like an image library to use?
