This episode is an introduction to Visual Thinking techniques. I mainly talk about sketching and how it helped me, Anca, in interviewing candidates for Scrum Master, engineer or coach positions. I also give two examples of when visual thinking can help tremendously: when we give power point presentations and when we try to convey a clear message or illustrate a clear picture of a complex problem, organization, or challenge. I go through topics such as: sketching to help the candidates understand the organizational chart, team structure and dynamics and how using sketches in solving complex challenges can make us all collaborate more. Live-sketching as a fun technique to engage audiences is also something that inspired me in the past and I still recommend to people who want to make powerful presentations.
