Welcome to rethink: Unpacking Ideas, Innovation, and Insights
In this first episode of reThink, I introduce you to the heart of the podcast—exploring creative ways to reimagine ideas, improve processes, and gain fresh insights. You’ll learn what the three pillars of reThink—Ideas, Innovation, and Insights—really mean and how they can help you navigate your work, learning, and team dynamics.
I’ll also share a bit about my background as a teacher and coach, how I discovered the power of visual thinking, and the story behind MapChat™, my method for helping others capture ideas visually during meetings and projects. And yes, I know it’s ironic to talk about visual thinking on a podcast, but I’ll walk you through every concept in a way that’s clear and engaging—and I’ll share bonus visual resources later!
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many tasks or unsure how to organize your thoughts, you’re not alone. In this episode, you’ll get a preview of what’s to come, including practical tools for brainstorming, team collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
Join me as I explain how visual thinking can transform the way you approach challenges, and stay tuned for the next episode, where I’ll introduce the Crazy 8s method—an easy, no-pressure exercise to help you turn mental chaos into clarity (with a pen in hand!)
Whether you're a student, educator, or team leader, this podcast is here to empower you with simple yet impactful strategies that you can start using right away.
We all need a rethink once in a while—so why not start today?
