Episode Description
How do visual principles and practices create heroes at work? What are those mechanics? In this third show in her series, The Hero Within, your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, un-nests the power of the second of the two questions that drive workplace visuality: What do I need to share? Building on last week’s discussion, Dr. Galsworth maps out the details of why this question works and how to put it to immediate use in your company. Have your pocket memo pad ready! She also reveals how this second driving question builds connectivity and alignment among team members and across departments—and how it shifts the identity of the people applying it. This impact is huge. And it is important to define it so managers and executives realize they are not just investing in a 15% to 30% increase in productivity when they bring visuality on board, they are also capitalizing a spirited and engaged workforce—heroes at work. Tune in/Learn more. Let the workplace speak.
