413: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life with Todd Cherches

Today’s guest is the second person I’ve had on recently to chat about the power of visual thinking.

A few weeks ago, it was three-time guest Dan Roam. Today, it’s the CEO and co-founder of BigBlueGumball, Todd Cherches.

Todd’s recent book is called VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life. In it, he describes how the concept will forever change the way you think and communicate by showing how you can quickly and easily leverage the power of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, analogy, storytelling, and humor to help you take your game to a whole new level.

Todd is also a three-time award-winning Adjunct Professor of leadership at NYU, a lecturer on leadership in various programs at Columbia University, and a TEDx speaker (see below).
