Sometimes, you just never know when VisualsSpeak may come in handy! Take, for instance, the case of Jane Schue.
Jane is a facilitator who is working with a local nonprofit, Life By Design NW. Life By Design, in cooperation with a local community college, works to be the “go-to place” for people rethinking their life after age 50.
Jane was in a program to become one of their facilitators when the training session shifted focus to personal strengths. The class was going to talk about each person’s strengths, and have a discussion. But Schue had an inspired thought!
She reached into her bag and pulled out…the VisualsSpeak Icebreaker Kit! In no time flat, she led her fellow participants and the trainer in an exercise to share personal strengths. Images were scattered, discussion was flowing, and the mood was buoyant. Participants had a chance to ‘own’ a strength by sharing it in this way, and it proved to be a great introduction to the topic. It was a big hit!
Well done, Jane — and great ingenuity to have the VisualsSpeak mini deck handy in your bag! Thanks so much for sharing this story.
