If ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ this book provides an approach to help create professional pictures that productively and powerfully capture conversations and thinking for individual and collective learning. Individuals are bombarded by information, and organizations, managers, and teachers often lack a corresponding set of tools to make sense of this complexity—resulting in far too many “death by bullet-point” presentations. This is that toolkit, also offering invitations to readers to extend their thinking past these tools to enable the creation (and co-creation with teams, learners, and clients) of graphical depictions, models, and metaphors to help people make sense of their world. This accessible book is constructed as a visual reference so readers can quickly pick out the specific tool or strategy they need, whether working with individuals and teams to promote self-awareness, develop emotional intelligence, improve communication, or articulate vision and strategy.This clear and adaptable guide will be a welcome resource for teachers, trainers, managers, and coaches to empower people to learn, think, and create in a powerful, memorable, and graphical way.

Drawing has an established history within medicine for learning, recording, investigating and discovery. Bringing together diverse drawing approaches in the form of research and practical projects, this book demonstrates how drawing has extended beyond the realm of medicine with relevance and value for a wide spectrum of health and wellbeing settings. Drawing has significant benefits for health, yet it is only recently that drawing for health and wellbeing has become a focus for formal research investigation and development. Chapters critically examine how drawing helps us convey and understand complex illness experiences, supporting a deeper, more holistic form of communication between patient and professional. The authors also explore drawing as a popular mindful and meditative activity. Underlying all the chapters is the principle that manual drawing, such as sketching, diagrams, cartoons and many other forms of mark-making, has important qualities in enabling people to learn, investigate, explain, and express as well as alleviate suffering. With renewed global interest in improving our health, this timely volume brings together prominent research in the field and highlights an array of drawing approaches to promote wellbeing.
