Visual Leadership
Use Visuals to Drive Organizational Change
Clear communication inside any organization is a key to its success. But what if the message, task, or vision is too big to convey with words? That’s what this talk is all about. Nora founded ImageThink with the goal of helping hundreds of organizations like NASA, Google, or LinkedIn use visuals as tools to communicate and collaborate. With this talk, she inspires audiences to use visuals in brand storytelling, to express complex ideas, or take an initiative from conception to launch.

How Can Leaders Promote Creativity within Teams?
When people think of art and creativity, running a Fortune 50 company isn’t the first association they have in mind. Yet, the most successful leaders know that promoting creativity and creative thinking is essential to win in business. In this talk, full of creative brainstorming techniques, Nora shares how she helps leaders and employees overcome common myths about creativity and debunk the biases against art in business. As a result, companies experience a flow of new ideas, challenge the status quo, and naturally encourage true out-of-box thinking. She’ll give real examples, real case studies, and step-by-step exercises.

It was an absolute pleasure working with the ImageThink team from start to finish! The live graphic recording of our breakout discussions added an extremely engaging (and fun!) element to our virtual workshop.
Nora’s visualization at the end was amazing – keep doing that for future customer interactions, because I’ve never seen that before and was a cool way to end the session.
The image assets were outstanding and will be great artifact for our Product Managers moving forward.
Our campus constituents are very excited about the work that has taken place between JSU and ImageThink. So much so that departments are still asking about the services and how they can use the services. I make a referral at least once a week and sometimes more.
