The Power of Visual Communication with William Warren of The Sketch Effect
While we tend to focus on words and talking over drawing or art when it comes to relating to others, William Warren, CEO of The Sketch Effect, has created a way to harness the power of visuals to enhance and clarify communication. In our episode today, we talk with William all about art, creativity, and the power of listening. We discuss his work at The Sketch Effect, and he walks us through how to become more influential and powerful through listening. He shares his own transformation story from a self-identified poor listener to an expert in active listening, along with the science behind why drawing is pivotal to communication and achieving dreams!
