You've got to where you are by being disciplined and focused. You can think your way through most business problems.
That leaves the ones that refuse to budge.
The more subtle, hard-to-pin-down problems. Bafflingly difficult to describe — or even think about.
The ball's in your court
You've tried to get past this tangle by thinking-on-the-run (because there's so much to keep up with!)
You've tried to solve it with familiar thinking strategies: pro's and con's, SMART goals, and so on.
You may have even tried discussing it with someone (although consulting others may not be desirable — or even possible – with sensitive or confidential topics).
You can see how much it's costing you and the business for this thing to stay stalled – but what else is there?
Let your hand think visually
It's well-known that visuals like diagrams or symbols can communicate ideas more effectively than text alone.
But visual thinking can also be used to organise and understand your own ideas better. It can help you take your line of thinking somewhere new.
NeuroGraphica lets your hand and your eyes do the thinking.
It uses simple lines, shapes and colours to help you think where words can't yet reach.
No drawing experience or artistic talent needed.
"My drawing showed me that I'd been devoting lots of energy and time to solving the wrong business problem. I'm now clear what I need to work on."
Danu Poyner (founder, Grokkist)
after a 1-1 Draw with Margarita session
NeuroGraphica is not drawing in order to create a picture. The point is the fresh perspective you experience on the inside.
In just 3 lines
NeuroGraphica uses a unique kind of line.
It may look simple. But after a few goes, people often notice that drawing it changes how they experience what they're thinking about.
"I'm astounded that I can think and feel so much just drawing a line."
All it takes is some paper, a marker, and a dollop of curiosity.
"I was curious: How could drawing help me think?
"The surprise was: you can draw about something — almost as if you're writing about it, but without words getting in the way."
Tsveta Dimova, agency owner and film producer
In the privacy of your own mind
In a NeuroGraphica session, you work on your own challenge.
You don't need to explain what you're working on. You can work privately with your own thinking, and see what you discover.
This could be for you if...
- You're wrestling with a decision.
- Something in your business isn't making sense.
- You're facing a difficult conversation.
- You're considering a change.
- You have an idea, but can't quite see where it leads.
- You're thinking about something without getting anywhere.
Bring something you're genuinely trying to work out. I'll guide you through the process; you do the thinking.
What you might discover
- what you didn't know you knew
- what's really going on
- a perspective you hadn't considered
- a possibility you couldn't previously see
Curious to experience NeuroGraphica?
A little less screen. A little more you.
Working with physical things — paper, markers, lines — frees your mind from distractions and helps you harness your ability to generate new ideas.
As a business owner, I'm intimately familiar with the experience of something simmering under the surface, which I struggle to put into words.
Whenever this kind of moment shows up, I sit down to draw.
This drawing was about some of the challenges with selling which I'd struggled to articulate. By the end, I knew what that niggle had been about.
Prefer to work 1-to-1?
You don't have to wait for a workshop.
A tool you get to keep
By the end of the session, you'll have your first NeuroGraphica drawing — and a practical thinking tool you can return to whenever something feels tangled, stuck or hard to put into words.
"The picture comes together differently when you draw NeuroGraphica, compared to when you think in words."
