Okay, so you’ve decided you want to partner with a remote graphic recorder for your online meeting. Does that mean you’ve signed yourself up for hours of extra prep and planning? The answer is a big, tall glass of “nope”!
Here’s a look at how easy it is to bring in a remote scribe.
The short version:
Send me your agenda, and I’ll prepare as needed. You research mycelium? I figure out how to draw mycelium. You lead an innovation team? I sketch ideas for how to visualize the intangible ideas.
Then I hop on the meeting platform about 20 minutes early to test screen sharing, and make sure we’re on the same page about transitions. You do your thing, I do mine, and you get a gorgeous summary of key content to share and leverage moving forward!
The more complex version:
If we’re collaborating on a series of meetings or a longer event, there’s typically at least two planning calls per meeting where we get clear about purpose, how the visuals will best serve your goals, and brainstorm creative ways to leverage the visuals.
Do you want to create a cohesive brand around a series of meetings and the visual outputs? Let’s design it!
Will custom templates support breakout groups’ discussions and facilitate a concise and focused report back? Let’s make them!
How will visuals be shared and used long-term? Let’s design a communication strategy to keep participants involved!
In addition, there’s often 1-2 hours of practicing tech and transitions before the event to make sure everything runs smoothly, and we have backup plans if Murphy’s Law strikes.
After an event, it’s also really useful to do a 15 minute debrief with the core planning team and make sure next steps and who’s responsible are clear, as well as how visuals will be shared and if there’s any follow-up drawing that needs to happen to achieve your goals.
What do you get in return? Here’s what Deborah Gilburg said this week:
“Karina is creating a lot of opportunity for people to think differently by creating these drawings.”
This is our time to think differently! To create opportunities for what we believe in, and to let go of what’s not serving us.
Once again, thank you from my heart and soul for your support, great senses of humor, brilliant minds, collaboration and what you're each doing to make the world a better place.
Cheers,
