About #thevisualcoach

By

I am Zhi Lee, #thevisualcoach, author of The Visual Coach Handbook

I help people get from A to B through the use of visuals.  I actively listen to synthesize information, laying down the essentials using simple graphics brought to life using colour.

LEGO Serious Play forms a big part of my toolkit.

I am also an Agile coach and the founder of Teamworx.

Proudly reviving the age-old medium of paper, I bring large community events and conferences to life by synthesising key themes and translating them into visuals.  I apply Listening Levels 2 and 3 where I focus on context, story, emotions and tone.  I am able to do this effectively as we operate as a team of 2.  My assistant (known as a harvester), captures data and key quotes at Listening Level 1.

To deliver a quality result, every event I undertake involves just as much prep as the event itself.  It starts with 1-2 pre-alignment meetings on your outcomes, meeting with your facilitator, deeply understanding the agenda, and logistics to ensure the best lighting and working space.  We work with you to set up the area in an invitational way so participants are enticed to interact with the visuals.

I make a digital record of the outputs with a full-frame Canon DSLR and diffused on-camera flash.  As an optional service, I can produce a timelapse video of the sketches being developed over the day.  At the end of the event, the posters are carefully removed and rolled up for you to keep.
