I’m swapping screens for a paper sketchbook and taking a break to recharge this holiday season. Emails and social media are on pause (deleting the apps for a couple weeks too thanks to some inspiration from .mp). In the meantime, I’ll be soaking up the sun, diving into good books, getting marker on my hands, and spending time with loved ones. Thank you for being part of an amazing year! I’ll be back in early 2025, ready to bring fresh ideas to life. Until then, I wish you a season filled with joy, peace, and a little creative magic of your own. ❄️ See you in the new year! 🌟

Today, the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust hosted a Piper Academy session on Sustained Collaboration in partnership with Arizona Together for Impact.

Christine Thompson shared insights on the Success Factors, Roadblocks, Barriers, and Timing (“When?”) for sustained collaboration, and I had the pleasure of capturing these notes live during the session. Following Christine’s presentation, a panel of experts—Becky Bell Ballard, Tiffanie Dillard, PhD, SHRM-SCP, ACC, CLCC, Karen Jayne MBA, and Laura Bode, CFRE—offered their perspectives and experiences with collaborative engagements.

Afterward, attendees engaged in table discussions to share their own experiences and explore needs around capacity and collaboration.

It was such a joy to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones. I’m feeling so grateful for Arizona’s incredible nonprofit community and the work we do together.

This large scale visual summary was the key success factor when facilitating today’s strategic review session for Together for Arizona. When you can visually inventory the strategic initiatives of your organization, you can more clearly discuss, assess, and dream for the future. I had the pleasure of co-facilitating alongside the wonderful . Thank you for your trust in this process, riveting conversations, and all you do for families and children in Arizona.

It probably won’t surprise any of you that I made a “kid’s table” for our Friendsgiving celebration this year. Complete with every color of Mr. Sketch marker imaginable, guests were invited to doodle directly on the paper tablecloth. Not only did this table fill up ✨first ✨, but even after dinner was over we continued to draw and play games on this table. For clarification: No kids (by age at least) were even at our party 😝😁

So jazzed about the Graphic Recording from this week’s Playbook 2024 Conference. Thanks to and SmartUp Visuals for the opportunity to draw at this event!

Wow! I just attended such a fabulous IFVP Online Learning Session by Kate Morales which explored how we can use the patterns in nature in graphic recording, facilitation, and systems change work. Thank you Kate and for this thought-provoking session. If you are an IFVP member you can watch the recording on the IFVP website. 🌲 🌳 🌺 🌊 🌀

This was one of my favorite parts of graphic recording for a leadership team’s offsite yesterday. When you walked into the room, you were greeted by maracas on the table - encouraging everyone to constantly remind themselves to “shake it up” as they developed their next 5 year strategy. Naturally, I had to include these 🪇 maracas 🪇 in their visual summary of the meeting!

All smiles, all the time. Still beaming with joy from the 2024 IFVP international summit. I had the pleasure of presenting a workshop on Facilitating with Visual Templates. If you missed the fun, please know that things are already in the works for some type of regional gathering in late summer 2025, before we all head to South Africa for the October 2026 conference.

One of the best things about the International Forum of Visual Practitioners (IFVP) is the *international* aspect! 🌍

Two years ago, we met in Bilbao, Spain 🇪🇸 — This year, it was Montclair, NJ, USA 🇺🇸 — And in 2026, we’ll be gathering in South Africa 🇿🇦. Can’t wait to see where this global journey takes us next!
