This comes to me at a good time. I write feature stories and conduct interviews for a magazine. I've been thinking lately that, in conducting massive interviews with performers about 10 or 20 years of their work, I fear that I'm not asking crucial questions/directions. So I've been using a big drawing pad to "Map" my articles, each topic getting its own box, drawing the lines of connection between each idea and being careful to watch for other directions any topic can radiate. It really helps!
Thanks a lot for this video! Last year I learned this approach from Russian scientist Andrey Kurpatov and use it a lot in my work. I included it into my virtual event, which I start tomorrow. And this explanation is just in time to add new meanings and enthusiasm to my job. Thank you, thank you!
I didnt realise but I've been doing this for years and now I realise it has helped me formulate clear plans from getting things onto paper and out of my head
Yay, LibLab, LibLab! What a great video Brandy, thanks for sharing this! I'm working with a great group right now - Arts Incubator of the Rockies - and we are doing workshops to help arts and business people come together to make paradigm shifts in how creativity and the arts can become a more valued part of our culture. I will be facilitating and encouraging lots of drawing as a process, giving full permission for those ideas to blossom. Happy to help spread the word on your Ted talk!
Fantastic, Chris! I think of you as a strong word person, so it's so great to hear how you use drawing to help create clarity. I hope you'll share your maps with me sometime. I totally love that peek into someone's process.
Fabulous talk Brandy, with lots of useful stuff that's got me thinking. And chunking and sorting! Hope you don't mind, think I'll feature this on a blog post sometime soon, will share the link with you via twitter :)
Just watched your video, Brandy - awesome content, awesome delivery! Way to rock the topic! I love love love the idea of the LibLab. I want to live there! And do lots of wonderful, messy drawing (as a verb).
Thank you, Jim! I'd love to come back to Grinnell. I've been percolating on that short course idea... Super to hear that you're giving yourself permission to shape the annual report in a new way! Let me know what comes of that. :^)
I litteraly love you. This Ted Talk presentation you made, was very good. If you come to my house you will go crazy. All the walls are covered with white board and I mess around everywhere. What a great opportunity to have found you out! Is your professione (visual facilitator) famous? Btw.. keep going.. you are a real teacher. What do you think about Tony Robbins? Is he auditory or visual like you? How he achived that clarity in his presentation? What do you think? How did he do? THANKSSSS
Oh, so happy to hear I've been on your radar for awhile, @slipperytriphazard. Great questions about how to connect... No good answer yet, but let me tinker. I am creating a PDF on the Idea Shaper Station. If you get my newsletter, you'll get the link when it's ready. And 1 sentence essay (now remember I was a precocious 10th grader) was, "If you cannot be yourself, you cannot be." < Look at that! Not even the length of a tweet.
Admired you from afar for years. As an teacher of elementary aged children, you've given me lots to contemplate. Idea Shaper Station... love it! Any suggestions for connecting with other visual/spatial teachers out there? 11:40 So, what was the one sentence Hamlet essay?
hi BrandyI had to stop the video and enlarge to see all I wanted!That's not practical, and never saw same mistakes at other TED editions.Show to others, don't reply if you think it's all right.You made a nice presentation, they should remake the edition, what I think they never will, specially when you approve the mess.ggrrrrrr!!
I love you, and I LOVE what you do. I will say that thinking/learning styles have been debunked (see the work of Dan Willingham and others). It's not that simple. If you are going to the grocery store to buy milk, you don't need to draw a picture of milk carton - you can just write the word "milk." It all has to do with the type of material. Of course, people have preferences, and engaging with information in different ways is always fun. The science of it is just not as simple as "some people think this way and some people think that way.
the TED editors made a lousy job not showing the slides properly and filming the whole site of the presentation too many times! that's too far! they partially ruined also showing only you talking and not the images you brought, THE MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!!can you ask them to remake the edition?? such a good presentation!...
+Claudio Hess Interesting persepective. I'm very happy with the edit and the production quality. They showed all of the imagery I presented. Perhaps not shown as long as you would like - but it works for me.
Supporting our strengths as the seed for enhanced growth and collaboration. An idea worth spreading!!.

I learned so much! Thank you for presenting this information and helping me learn how to shape my own thinking! Go snazzy green people!

Brandy your talk was excellent. Well executed. Totally engaging - I will be switching somethings up for sure.
Thanks to your presentation, I have a greater appreciation for using pictures to shape my thinking.
Brandy, You helped me shape my thinking....this IS an idea worth spreading!!
Fabulous Brandy!! BRAVA!!!!
Awesome, Brandy! "Drawing is a noun and a verb." LibLabs for everyone!
Fantastic, Chris! I think of you as a strong word person, so it's so great to hear how you use drawing to help create clarity. I hope you'll share your maps with me sometime. I totally love that peek into someone's process.
You're wonderful Brandy... Very informative. I wish I learned this 50 years ago.
That's exactly it, Xander - work to our strengths and we grow stronger.
Thank you SO much for your blog post, Claire! :^D

Ms. Andrews & Mr. Loo!
I could have used your visual thinking skills and index card trick when having to write reports in school.
I litteraly love you. This Ted Talk presentation you made, was very good.
If you come to my house you will go crazy. All the walls are covered with white board and I mess around everywhere.
What a great opportunity to have found you out!
Is your professione (visual facilitator) famous?
Btw.. keep going.. you are a real teacher.
What do you think about Tony Robbins?
Is he auditory or visual like you? How he achived that clarity in his presentation? What do you think? How did he do?
THANKSSSS
This is fantastic! Thanks so much for your video. I can't wait to make a post-it chunky chart!
wow brandy, i'm your fan!
this entire talk explains why going to grad school & being forced to write lit reviews has made me dead inside

Fantastic Brandy! Nice job!
Enriquecedor video
I'm going to the library today, to go and touch the books... ;^)
It's more Lib than Lab at the moment - I've got books falling off my bookshelves! :)
Are you still watching, Jill? ;^) SO looking forward to The Lab with you.
Her English❤, or is it just me?! 😮❤😮❤🎉

@SouthCityStudio, can I borrow "chunky chart" as synonym of Tangible To-do list? Love it. :^)

I hope your professors are open to it, @agalva100. If not, know that these tools can help you "behind the scenes."
