VISUAL TOOLS FOR COACHES

WHY USE VISUAL TOOLS?

We all think in pictures - you don’t need to be a particularly ‘Visual’ person.

They use different neurological pathways in the brain, accessing different parts of the subconscious mind ie. they can help us think differently than ‘normal’.

They help clarify and organise our thoughts & ideas.

THIS PRESENTATION

Aim: to give each of you at least 1 new visual tool you’d like to try

Content: 3 x 3: three tools in three different areas

Format: Pecha Kucha (more about that later): 20 slides in 6mins 40secs - ish!
