Scribbly morning doodles, coming up with image ideas for the monthly themes for the Creative Sandbox Way™ Leadership Academy inside the Creative Sandbox Community. Each month we’ll host discussions around the topic of the month, recommend targeted resources, and provide additional content for members who wish to dive deeper. 🖍
I’m also opening up my podcast interviews to Creative Sandbox Community members, who can participate as part of the live “studio audience.” The first recording is tomorrow, with @julialinsteadt of KidArtLit— so excited!

Doors open soon—sign up for more info at http://bit.ly/2pPbRDZ

The Half-of-March Challenge inside the #creativesandboxcommunity is helping me practice #imperfectionism, because I give myself the goal of seeing how quickly I can create to the prompt, NOT how well. 🖍
This is key! Giving myself a very small time container! @carla.la.la.olson, the challenge host, suggested 5 minutes, and reminded us to use this challenge as an opportunity to be brave and vulnerable together. EXACTLY the spirit I want to cultivate inside the Sandbox! 👍👍👍
🖍
So here I am, being brave and vulnerable by sharing outside the Sandbox, on Instagram. 🖍
Let’s not kid ourselves: sharing work, especially when it’s a newer skill that you don’t feel confident in, is SCARY! That is flexing some major courage muscles!
🖍
THAT is why the Creative Sandbox Community is a Lab for women’s leadership. Those courage muscles that we flex when we create and share creative work? It’s those same muscles that we use when we ask the boss for a raise.
🖍
Or throw our hat in the ring to run for office.
🖍
Or take on ANY big challenge that requires you to step into a bigger space than you’re used to occupying.
🖍
Creative work is a microcosm of the rest of life. What we can accomplish in our creative lives strengthens us to accomplish amazing things in the other parts of our lives.

Some days are finished products (which I may or may not feel pleased with), and other days are drills (which I also may or may not feel pleased with). That’s the life of a student learning a new creative skill. Gremlins abound in all corners. Your job is to continually send them off to get pedicures so you can get back to work.

More Visual Shownotes™ from the Jordan Harbinger Show, with @jordanharbinger and Tali Sharot on the Science of the Influential Mind.

I love practicing visual notes to Jordan’s podcast because he A) Gets such fascinating guests; B) Does a great job interviewing them; and C) Has terrific show notes that I can crib for my Visual Notes™! 😅

No joke—learning a new skill is hard! I’m juggling multiple skills here, each of which needs a lot of work:
🖍
– lettering (not just well, but also quickly! Gahhh!)
– drawing (again, not just drawing, but also quickly! Gahhh!)
– capturing IDEAS quickly, and translating them into visual metaphors
– listening, listening, listening, and holding onto content that is rolling by while I’m trying to capture content that *just* rolled by
🖍
It’s what I imagine juggling 5 balls at a time must be like. (And since I can’t even juggle ONE ball, well, you get the idea!)
🖍
I’m not aiming to become a professional graphic recorder. My goal is to bring more visuals into my workshops and trainings. So I’m not “cheating” by using podcasts to practice with. In fact, I see it as a great double-win: I get to practice, AND I get to listen to podcasts I enjoy while I’m at it. 😊
🖍
What podcasts do YOU especially enjoy and recommend?
