The DNA of a strong learning culture
How is the learning culture where you work now? What’s stayed the same? What’s changed? by Stella Collins June 1, 2022 Change has become a constant in most organizations. Most of us feel the impact daily, it seems there’s no escape and it’s not going to stop soon. That’s why we must adopt new ways of thinking, working and learning — we all need new skills.
How (and why) leaders can (and should) leverage the power of visual thinking
The ability to see the world through the lens of others — as well as the ability to enable others to understand what’s going on in our mind — is among the greatest challenges that leaders face. by Todd Cherches May 27, 2022 One of the biggest challenges all leaders face is getting others to “see” what they’re saying.

Get Ready for September Shuffle to Change Everything About Work
Whether you call it the "September Shuffle," the "September Scramble," the "September Scuffle," the "Big Quit," the "Great Resignation," the "Great Reset," or the "Big Reboot," as Bob Dylan sang, "the times, they are a changin'." Regardless of what you are calling it, the question is: How ready are you for the chaos, confusion, and conflict that is about to ensue?
Why Leaders Need to Focus on 'Flipping the Eye'
When discussing the topic of leadership, one of the first words that tends to come to mind is "vision." But what does it mean to have a "leadership vision" -- or to be a "visionary leader"?

And it's about realizing that who you are and how you lead are inseparable from the lens through which you view the world.
Can You Draw What Your Company Does?
Usually when you ask a group of kindergartners, "How many of you can draw?" there's a lot of shouting and pretty much every hand in the room shoots up. But when you ask a group of business professionals the same question? Typically, crickets. What happens between the age of 5 and the age of 35 or 45 or 75?

Educate by Flipping the Eye - by Todd Cherches
When I originally envisioned the cover design of my new book, VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life, the image of the eye on the front cover was going to be blue.

And because it would align with the name and the brand of my leadership consulting company, BigBlueGumball.
Eyeing What’s Ahead
While talking with Todd Cherches last week, I momentarily lost sight of the fact that we’re in the middle of a global pandemic. He was calm, cheerful, and focused during our phone conversation last week— characteristics that I found refreshing for someone at the epicenter of the Coved-19 crisis in the greater New York area.
7 Simple Steps to Turn Thanksgiving Into “Thinks-Giving”
THANKSGIVING is a time of family, friends, food, frivolity, and fun. But why not turn this Thanksgiving into “Thinks-giving” by giving some thought to those who have had a positive influence on your life and/or your career…and then letting them know that. In this fast-paced, always-on, often-superficial social media world we live in these days, it seems that so many people treat many of their relationships as disposable – rather than as something enduring and valuable to be nurtured and cherished.
Is Gen X the “Jan Brady” of the Generations?
To Jan Brady, it always seemed like everyone else was getting all the attention. If it wasn’t little sister Cindy, then it was, of course, big sister “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!” Similar to this classic example of “middle child syndrome” from “The Brady Bunch,” it often seems to Gen Xers that they are caught in the middle these days.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - The “King” of Visual Communication
Among the many amazing features of Dr. King’s numerous classic speeches – including, of course, his iconic, “I Have a Dream” speech – was his use of “visual communication”… his talent and ability to paint pictures with words.
