I have successfully used postcards, artistic images from calendars and magazine photos to stimulate conversations among participants in many North American as well as international meetings I have facilitated. They are great tools to build bridges between people, to open doors to difficult conversations and to create a platform for dialogue in ways that words simply just can not touch.
So when I saw the VIsualSpeak photographs I was like a kid in a candy store. Wow - a whole new level of possibilities opened up for my practice. Because each photograph has been created precisely because it is evocative - its like they come with little insurance policies attached to them!
Now instead of selecting images that I think are going to stimulate a conversation I am using ones that consistently give participants a window to a new perspective for them and the people they are interacting with.
