What do all of these things have in common: designer, author, teacher, illustrator, creator? One answer: Mike Rohde. Another answer: visual thinking. If you don't know what visual thinking is, or don't think you are a visual person, Mike has made it his mission to convince you--and me--that we all are visual thinkers! He even created a new way of taking notes, called Sketchnoting, that combines words and drawings and already has tens of thousands of converts.
This episode covers:

  • description of a visual thinker (01:13)
  • definition of sketchnoting and possible templates (03:57)
  • examples of Mike sketchnoting meals (at Chez Panisse) and travel experiences (Washington, DC and Alaska) (14:31)
  • why listening is a secret weapon of sketchnoting (18:49)
  • how Mike approaches illustrating books (21:06)
  • how it feels to see others using the technique he created (29:37)
  • when is a good age for kids to start learning sketchnoting (30:53)
  • possible future of sketchnoting (35:04)

... and why Mike once considered giving people just starting out a "diploma" saying, "You have the permission to suck at sketchnoting"!
As promised in the episode, here are links to some of Mike's sketchnotes:

It's always the right time to try something new, and Mike says we are all up to the task!
