Creative Doodle Games for Trainers, Coaches, Facilitators - Fun Games for Serious Business: Forget the Box Doodle-Based Activities for Business and Multi-Language Working Groups

About this ebook
We all remember childhood fun in creating visual representations of thoughts and ideas, as children we were all experts at this way of seeing the world and things around us.
As we grow older we are trained to see things more verbally and, as a result, our vision of situations has become more narrow. Words are limited after all, but by engaging your group in more visual activities through directed (and non-directed) doodling, a whole new perspective can be gained.
The doodlevision games and exercises put fun, creativity and humor into business situations and creates an environment where possibilities that may have previously been unrecognized or unanticipated to come to light.

For nearly 20 years I have been designing and running workshops, meetings and seminars from Budapest to Belfast. My love of doodling was initially sparked as a means to work with cross cultural and language barriers and to convey complicated concepts in a clear way for non-native English speakers. Through these doodling experiences I realized that that the multi-cultural groups grasped complicated concepts and situations more creatively and more concretely than my standard native English-speaking clients. Gradually, I realized that greater clarity and creativity can be found in all subjects and with native and non-native English speakers and I began to work with doodling more and more. I now incorporate doodling in all of my work—I doodle in meetings, when designing sessions and even use it as a form of quiet meditation to unwind after a challenging day.

Any project such as this is a team effort. There is no way I could possibly thank all the people I have been fortunate to work with; I have learned equally from clients and colleagues in my training and coaching and look forward to continuing to learn more!
The material in this book adjusts and doodle-fies games and exercises that have been used by trainers for many years and games that I have created to meet specific client needs.
The exercises in this book have come from all sources and no sources in particular and I believe their strength is in the creative processes and evolutions that all doodling can allow. It is my hope that the doodlevision materials in this book will offer you a new way to look at your existing methods and materials as well.
I believe that introducing the idea of doodling benefits your work in many more ways than just through the use of these materials, it can benefit you in the way you work, design and plan your own sessions.
I am hoping to see a doodlefication of the Business and Community Nation!
