Oodles of doodles: capture & communicate big ideas with easy drawings

Learn how to transform your meetings, facilitation, engagement and retention, and critical decisions beyond a ten-page notes document by creating your own doodle book.

Join this fun, interactive session for tricks to re-engage teams, reinvent your meetings based on learning styles, and reduce repetition through an easy visual vocabulary of sketch thinking to capture big ideas with simple drawings.
