Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It reminds me of how impactful a gratefulness practice can be. I created my Thankful for YOU playlist in 2021, as a thank you gift to all my amazing clients, colleagues, friends and family who enrich my life all year long. A gift I could share virtually, because in-person visits were not in full swing. Each year I update it with new songs but it maintains a theme of happiness. Something to play when making dinner, on a drive, whenever you need a pick me up.  Enjoy!

Have you ever participated in a workshop, conference, off-site, retreat, and felt like saying, "This was fun, but nothing ever comes of these things afterward." One way to capture all those great ideas and actually DO something with them is to engage a graphic facilitator for your event. 

Have you ever wondered why your teams are good at some things and maybe not so good at others? Are you curious about improving team communications, decision-making, innovation?

As the new year unfolds, think about making the most of time spent communicating with those around you, those you work and live with. It can be as easy as providing a space for everyone to "think out loud". In this post, we'll explore what it takes to transform your everyday space into a space that enables brainstorming, creativity, dare I say, innovation, and most importantly understanding. With an investment of time, some planning, and a few (or a lot of!) dollars, you can transform the way you work with colleagues, students, clients, volunteer organizations, even family members!
