This Talk is a Little Sketchy
Pen. Pencil. Stick. Finger. Chalk. All drawing tools. Everyone has access to these.
They are incredibly powerful tools. You can draw a business plan on the back of napkin. Maybe capture a story or someone’s epic journey on a note card. You can even sketch an idea that you're wanting to share with a student or colleague.

Yet many of us likely have this fear of judgement because you don’t believe you can draw or because you think you are not an artist.

But Why is that?

Join me and let’s tap into your childhood joy & vulnerability and build some confidence in sketching then explore how it can be applied to your work.
