In this long-awaited episode, Laurens delves into an insightful conversation with Lauren Green, a celebrated artist, certified visual facilitator, and the visionary behind Dancing with Markers.

Lauren shares her unique journey from the world of professional dance to the vibrant arena of visual facilitation, highlighting the beautiful intersection of movement and graphical recording.

Despite the challenges of audio quality, this interview shines with Lauren's passion for integrating dance into her facilitation and coaching, offering a fresh perspective on visual thinking and leadership.

Join us for this compelling dialogue that explores the rhythm and flow of creativity and the transformative power of visual practice in professional and personal realms.

Lauren also touches upon the evolution of her career, the significant influence of her mother, and her contributions to fostering a supportive community through her work.

Join us as Laurens introduces the remarkable Alfredo Carlo, a luminary in the realm of graphic facilitation and the founder of Housatonic Design Network, based in Bologna.

Alfredo shares his passion for blending art and facilitation, aiming to simplify complex ideas and foster understanding. With a journey that began in the vibrant spaces of MG Taylor and evolved into the creation of a collaborative team of 18, Alfredo discusses the transformative power of visual thinking in making conversations accessible and inclusive.

This episode explores Alfredo's path from graffiti art to leading a studio dedicated to enriching dialogues across the globe, his vision for a co-owned, purpose-driven company, and the joy of working at the intersection of creativity and service.

Discover how Alfredo and his team use graphic facilitation, video animations, and various media to inspire change and bring beauty to the world of communication.

Note: This episode, one of the two treasures unearthed after 3.5 years, showcases Alfredo's insights into the essence and impact of visual thinking. 

In this episode, I'm talking with Yuri Malishenko, an Agile Coach and Graphic Facilitator from Denmark who runs https://www.vizthink.dk/ and posts regularly on Medium. 

We met online, because he listened to an episode of Mike Rohde's most excellent podcast in which I was featured. 

Talking to Yuri felt kind of like talking to myself, as we have very similar backgrounds and interests. 

Enjoy!

Today, I'm talking to Natalia Talkovska. Natalia is founder and owner of Natalka Design. She helps people tell their stories in creative new ways and gives them the tools to turn their communications upside down and make a lasting impact. Those tools include live sketchting, sketchnoting, videos, visual facilitation, training, and yes, even in-person consulting. Now, that is just her day-job. By night, when she's not out dancing semi professional, she furthers the cause of doodling by running a worldwide network of Doodleledo's, meetings where people that think they can't draw find out they actually can, and meet a bunch of like-minded awesome people in the process. You'll leave there with friends, not business cards.

Today, I'm talking to Terese Ellnestam. Terese is a visual practitioner and owner of Grafant AB based in Stockholm, Sweden. She works with clients to communicate their thoughts and ideas more effectively through visualization. Judging from her Flickr page, she does both fast, real-time, graphic recording, as well as slow, mindful, drawing, and I'm dying to hear which of those she loves most.
