Studies show that information is recalled exponentially more when paired with visuals than without them . . . and to actually <strong><em>generate </em></strong>those visuals along with their connections?</p><p><br></p><p>Whew. Mind. Blown.</p><p>Why <strong><em>wouldn't </em></strong>you use visuals?</p><p><br></p><p>This A-Z reference guide, full of original illustrations, will inspire you, whether in the boardroom, classroom, or living room to expand what you thought possible. It will jumpstart your creativity into the realm of visual thinking and push your thought processes beyond the confines of the typical ways we work to process information.</p><p><br></p><p>Pillars powerfully demonstrates the vast potential of using visual thinking to improve productivity, outcomes, and communication with audiences of all ages. Leaning on decades of teaching in varied global settings, she brings tremendous insight and mastery with clear examples to empower you to think visually, experiment creatively, and sketch more!</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>When you sketch more, you think more!</em></strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>We educators talk about the importance of using visuals in our teaching but in her book "Visual Impact," Wendi Pillars opens up a whole new world of possibilities about what that could actually mean and the impact it could have on our students!</p><p><em>-</em><strong><em>Larry Ferlazzo</em></strong><em>, high school teacher, author and Education Week advice columnist</em></p><p><br></p><p>Every page of Visual Impact is filled with an idea, tip, strategy, information, doodle or how-to to inspire and enable anyone to bring visual thinking into their life, classroom, business or world. From the research behind the why to the incredible visuals supporting each how and what to the incredible variety of ideas and examples, this book is not only for gathering knowledge and building skills, it is a forever resource everyone can use for years to come to enhance and enrich their lives, learning, connection and thinking through visuals.</p><p><em>-</em><strong><em>Carrie Baughcum</em></strong><em>, Special Education Teacher. Author of My Pencil Made Me Do It: A Guide to Sketchnoting </em></p><p><br></p><p>I've been sketchnoting for quite a few years and I thought I knew all I needed to know about visual notetaking. Not so! In her book Visual Impact, Wendi Pillars combines text and visuals to describe the power of using text and visuals to "connect, clarify, and deepen understanding." Part text, part visual explainer, part tutorial, and ALL reference. This is a comprehensive reference on visual notetaking that illustrates (literally!) the many possible applications of this powerful notetaking and communication method. This book is perfect for the beginner as well as the experienced practitioner. An unexpected bonus of Wendi's approach is that she offers many ways for you to show others the benefits of visual thinking and describes how you can bring others along on the visual thinking/communication path. I am glad to add this book to my library of references.</p><p><em>-</em><strong><em>Rob Dimeo</em></strong><em>, Physicist and inveterate doodler</em></p><p><br></p><p>Visual Impact will inspire you and let you into a new understanding of visuals. Wendi shares her gifts with us and lets us in on how and why to use visuals ourselves and with learners of all abilities. I absolutely love referring back to the pages in this book!</p><p><em>-</em><strong><em>Valentina Gonzalez</em></strong><em>, @ValentinaESL Author and Consultant</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
