Thanks for visiting Whole Picture Thinking. 

This is a website for people who are hosting meaningful conversations that connect different communication styles, ideas, and world-views. It is for people who are committed to increasing interpersonal understanding as a way of healing the world. And it is also for those people who suffer from meeting fatigue but can't do without meetings.  

Charting, visual recording and graphic facilitation are tools that rely on the power of graphics to make group conversations more playful, engaging, efficient, and ultimately useful. 

There are many benefits to using graphics in meeting settings: in the corporate boardroom, in the classroom, at conferences, in community conversations, or at planning sessions of grassroots organizations. On this website, I describe some of the tools available to you, connect you with useful resources, and present my own experience using these tools. 

Welcome to my world of meeting graphics! 








"I was immediately drawn to visual facilitation.
It allows a wide variety of seemingly different or incompatible ideas to be threaded together in a much more organic fashion, and encourages participants to look at each others' thoughts through different perspectives and to think outside the box."

Iona To, Masters Student, Planning, UBC

"I love the idea of visual facilitation, not just to help those who are visual learners, but to remind those of us who are not visual learners that there are different styles of learning."

NormaJean McLaren, Cross-Cultural Trainer and Facilitator
