"Once I realized that I was using visual thinking to build my business faster I was able to identify the skills that were effective so I could get even better results."
- Eric Oakland, Co-Founder & Instructor
Once I started talking about visual thinking with other business leaders, I found accountants, bankers, engineers, and CEOs who use visual thinking to regularly process information and communicate more clearly with their team and clients.
You don’t have to be a creative person to be a visual thinker in a way that benefits you or your team.

FAQ's
What if I don’t want to be a professional visual thinker?
Our VAST Method of visual thinking is teaching you to bring visual thinking into the amazing work you already do. It’s like a new superpower. But you get to decide how you want to use it. You can use visual thinking skills to be a better listener in meetings. Or you can use those skills to facilitate team meetings. Either way, you get to decide!
Why should I pay you to teach me to draw for my work?
You probably shouldn’t! Visual thinking is clearly a visual way to process information, but the visual skills we teach are only one part of our method. The most important and impactful parts are the ways we teach you to filter information and collaborate with others. That is where the magic happens!
I want to sign up my whole team. Should we all register for your course?
It depends! If you want to teach your whole team visual thinking, it may be better for us to work with you on a dedicated training session for your team. Contact us at [email protected] and we can get that set up for you.
