Thinking in Visual Metaphors

Stop competing for attention. While everyone else screams louder, posts longer, and gets drowned out by AI, you're about to do something radical: Be different and translate your ideas into visuals. This isn't your typical online course where you watch videos alone. Over 3 weeks and 6 live sessions, you'll create visual metaphors, share them with fellow visual thinkers, and discover a whole new way to see and share your ideas. You'll leave with more than just new skills – you'll leave with a new lens for looking at everything. You might be saying..."Well, that's all well and good, but I can't draw." Rest assured.Visual thinking is not about drawing. The main "draw" (🥁) of visual thinking is communicating ideas in a deep, impactful way. If you're keen on clarifying your thinking and using the power of metaphors to create content that stands out, you're in the right place. Join me in this 3 week course to learn the techniques and frameworks I’ve used to attract an engaged international audience of 400,000+ people. Whether it's for professional upskilling, personal development, or differentiating your writing, Thinking in Visual Metaphors will open up new possibilities to express your ideas. Stop adding to the noise. Start creating signals people can't ignore.
