Are you like me and enjoy and gain value from the visual component of learning? Perhaps from a White Board Instruction or any visual aids to help the information sink in?

Our Guest, Doug Neill is the owner and creator of Verbal To Visual. Doug Neill helps people make sense of the world by making marks on the page. After training to become a high school teacher he got pulled into the world of visual thinking and in 2014 he founded Verbal to Visual where he teaches people how to sketch out simple drawings and diagrams as a learning, problem-solving, and storytelling tool.

Doug loves to spread the word about the power of visual thinking through hand-sketched videos, online courses, and live workshops and talks. His favorite way to put these skills to use himself is by creating visual summaries of interesting books.
