As part of my graphic facilitation practice, I’m committing to getting my big markers in hand every day. That could mean just practicing lettering or drawing icons at a flip chart, even just for a few minutes. Or it could mean listening practice—recording a podcast on a flip chart or a 4’x8’ sheet. Or it could mean, like today, writing out my to-do list on a flip chart. 🖍
As long as I’m doing *something* that uses *some* of my graphic facilitation skills, it counts! 😊
🖍
That’s how we grow: flexing the muscles we want to build. One step at a time, we move forward toward our goals. 😊
🖍
What muscles are you wanting to develop? What steps are you committing to take to get yourself there?

After 3 days at a @groveconsultants graphic facilitation workshop with the fabulous @malgosiakostecka, I am inspired and motivated to practice with my #neulandmarkers every day! Lettering, drawing, listening, layout—*something*. Even just a minute at a flip chart is better than nothing! And there’s never a shortage of things to improve on. Arrows and boxes are hard, for example (straight lines and symmetry: NOT my strong suits!) But these faces are so fun to draw! They’re just a U, an L or w for a nose, and dots or upside-down u’s for eyes, c’s for ears, add a neck, mouth, and some squiggles for hair, and voilá! A happy person!
🖍
I can’t wait to take another workshop with Malgosia! If all the Grove trainings are as good as this one, I’ll probably take them all eventually. Off the chain! 👍👍👍👍👍

194: David Koff and the Life-Changing Power of Improv

David Koff’s been on or around the stage for over 40 years as an actor, producer, director, and teacher. He’s appeared on the TV shows “The West Wing” and on “Sesame Street”, something nearly impossible to pull off.
After over 20 years of professional acting in Los Angeles, David and his wife moved to Portland, Oregon where he’s performed and taught improvisation at Curious Comedy, The Brody Theater and now, to the students of the St. Andrew Nativity Jesuit school. He and his wife Mary are expecting their first child in November.
I met David last summer at the Applied Improvisation Network World Conference in Paris, where he gave a talk about his work teaching improv to kids. As you’ll hear in our conversation, he started his teaching job thinking he was teaching the kids, but he quickly learned that they had a lot to teach him [Read more…]
