Course overview

Level up your communication in 3 weeks with visual metaphors

Stop competing for attention.


Be different and translate your ideas into visuals.


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 over 200,000 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.
