Seeing is Believing!

That’s one of the mantras of my guest, Todd Cherches. Todd has built his career, and written a book called: Visual Leadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Leadership and Life.

In this interview we explore how visual thinking can transform the way we communicate, connect, and build trust in business. Todd shares why helping people “see what you’re saying” isn’t about artistic talent, but about clarity, intention, and empathy.

We talk about how visuals, metaphors, and storytelling create shared understanding, especially when ideas feel complex or abstract. Todd also explains why visual leadership helps prospects, clients, and referral partners feel more confident, engaged, and aligned.

This conversation is a reminder that trust grows faster when people truly understand you — and visual thinking is one of the most powerful ways to make that happen.

Key Takeaways

1. Visual thinking helps people understand ideas more quickly and remember them longer
2. Trust increases when communication feels clear, human, and relatable
3. You don’t need to be “creative” to use visuals effectively in business
4. Metaphors and stories make abstract ideas tangible and meaningful
5. Helping others see your thinking builds confidence and credibility
