Kati Orav - Unlock Your Bold, Playful Life with Visual Facilitation

The podcast recorded at the European Visual Practitioners Meetup in Ypres features an interview with Kati Orav, author of “Visual Facilitation: How to use drawing and imagination to live a bold, playful, and meaningful life.” The event aims to highlight individuals in the visual facilitation field and support creative practitioners. Kati discusses her journey into visual facilitation, the inspiration behind her book for the Estonian community, and the process of translating it into English. The book targets both beginners and experienced practitioners, offering practical guidance and theoretical insights on visualization’s importance. It emphasizes courage, vulnerability in leadership, and simplicity in communication through drawing, blending personal stories with scientific theories for accessibility. The discussion underscores handwriting and visualization’s role in brain stimulation, referencing a Norwegian study on the benefits of handwriting over typing. The conversation advocates for sketching as a universal skill, sharing how Dominique overcame his belief that he couldn’t draw. The book encourages readers to start sketching and pursue new dreams, available on Amazon in e-book and paperback formats, with an emphasis on physical books’ value for activities like sketching.
