If you’ve ever wondered how to make communication in meetings easier, and what x-factor tools can help you bring a conference together and really support your skills in facilitation, then you’ll love hearing from today’s guest.His name is Matteo Becchi and he’s based in Washington DC. He was recommended by Aminata N’Doye, one of the original listeners of this podcast who’s based in Canada.  She met Matteo when he was the chair for the 2018 OD Network conference. He discovered visual facilitation and graphic recording four years ago and uses it for strategic planning meetings with clients and to move them to where they need to go next.In this conversation, we talk about what drew him to visuals and how he likens drawing to simply learning another language. Matteo also explains how he got more confidence to draw in front of others, and how he decides what to draw (and also what to leave out) when drawing live at a conference. He also explains his preparation a month, a week and a day leading into a big event.
