Enabling People

The chart features colored sticky notes in yellow, green, purple, and blue, organized in columns, with descriptive text and arrows indicating relationships and processes.

Doing effective Sessions & Meetings

I embrace visualisation to overcome the inefficiencies of traditional meetings, therefore, I use tools such as Miro, Mural, and FigJam for more effective and inclusive sessions. I focus on techniques for conducting meetings and teamwork, such as affinity mapping, user story/flow mapping, which are suitable for different working environments. My focus is on ensuring inclusivity and streamlined communication, essential in today's diverse and evolving workplaces.
