Todd Cherches: Visual Thinking is a Superpower

Have you ever heard the saying, "Communication is key"? What kind of communication are they talking about here? Communication is an essential skill that all humans need to be successful. But not all communication is created equal. Throughout the world, there are over 6,500 spoken languages. So, verbal communication may not get us very far, but visual communication, on the other hand, may be the key. Visual communication stems from visual thinking, which is when we use images to organize thoughts and create ideas. Through visual communication, we can communicate with a broader audience, bridging any language barriers. Todd Cherches uniquely knows how visual thinking is a superpower and key for communication. Todd is the CEO & Co-founder of BigBlueGumball, an innovative NYC-based consulting firm specializing in leadership development, management training, public speaking, and executive coaching. Creator of the patented VisuaLeadership® methodology, Todd is a TEDx speaker ("The Power of Visual Thinking"), as well as a three-time award-winning Adjunct Professor of leadership at NYU and Lecturer on leadership at Columbia University. He is also the author of VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life. In this episode, Todd gets visual and tells us key stories and lessons from his book, VisuaLeadership.
