Plenty of people talk.
Your message needs to land, stick, and get shared.
You've got something important to share — a talk, a book, a framework, a body of work.
You can feel how powerful it is.
But every time you try to get it out of your head and into a form other people can follow, something breaks.
What's your glitch?
Visual Thinking for Communication
with Brandy Agerbeck, Loosetooth.com
A. The blank page.
Your next [paper, book, speech, presentation] is so high-stakes that the pressure to get it perfect has you paralyzed. You know what you create needs to be exceptional, but you have no idea where to begin.
B. The firehose.
You're so deep in your expertise that you hit your audience with everything you know. You see connections and nuances they don't — and without realizing it, you leave them drowning in information instead of swimming toward understanding.
C. The holiday lights.
Your ideas are tangled up like last year's storage box — brilliant insights scattered across sticky notes, random documents, and half-finished thoughts that wake you up at 3 AM. You can feel something powerful in there, if only you could see how it all fits together.
D. The square peg.
You save a copy of a previous slide deck and try to cram your new content into last presentation's structure. You keep rearranging the same tired framework, hoping this time it will magically work for completely different ideas.
E. All of the above.
You are smart. And your message is important.
The answer is not a new Canva template, even more sticky notes, your inner critic scolding you, or handing your drowning audience a towel.
If these struggles feel too familiar, you are the kind of visual thinker I call a:
Message Maker & Communication Shaper
You are motivated by getting your message out into the world and understood.
Visual thinking is already separating the Message Makers who land from the ones who get lost. They connect deeper, hit harder, and get remembered longer. The audience feels the difference.
But even better? Visual thinking tools make the writing process smoother and more satisfying.
For Message Makers, drawing isn't just organizing thoughts. It's crafting experiences that change how others think and feel.
Whether spoken or written, you'll find Message Makers eager to make their ideas come alive for their audiences:
Writers
crafting compelling narratives and organizing complex information into resonant pieces
Speakers
creating engaging and memorable talks that demonstrate expertise and motivate audiences
Leaders
delivering communications that inspire internal alignment and strengthen external brand positioning
Consultants
developing persuasive, research-backed, client-facing presentations that drive decision-making
Technical Writers
translating overwhelming technical complexity into documentation that empowers user success
Content Strategists
designing content plans and aligning messaging to drive business results across channels
Content Creators
planning targeted story arcs and designing strategies that build loyal audiences
Educators
teaching complex concepts through well-designed curricula, accessible materials, and dynamic delivery
Students
communicating across formats, from academic arguments to confident presentations to structured writing
Visual thinking sharpens communication across three stages:
1 | Internal
Get clear.
Use visual thinking to untangle what you're actually trying to say — before you open your mouth or touch a slide deck.
2 | External
Get it out.
Deliver your message clearly and confidently, with structure your audience can follow and tools that keep you on track.
3 | Audience
Make it stick.
Use visual thinking to make your message engaging, memorable, and worth spreading — so your audience carries it with them long after you're done.
Developing your visual communication skills takes your message from muddled to masterful.
Ready to ❶ get clear, ❷ get it out, and ❸ make it stick?
Here's where to start.
For Individuals
A new course, The Method Mapper, is coming around the corner. It is all about how to make a visual framework that makes your expertise unmistakable.
In the meantime, here are few pieces to explore:
For Organizations
Get clear: From Cloudy to Clarity
For teams who deliver complex work to a range of clients, clarity is a competitive advantage. From Cloudy to Clarity teaches your team my Diamond model — a hands-on framework for sharpening every pitch, presentation, and client conversation until your value is crystal clear.
Bring Cloudy to Clarity to your team
❌ No more death by bullet point.
❌ No more cramming new content into an old deck.
❌ No more decks designed for the speaker, not the audience.
Make it stick: PRESENTation
Too many people approach presentations as time to fill with as much content as possible. We all have suffered through this from our seat.
PRESENTation teaches your team my present model, a repeatable framework to design:
✅ Who a presentation is for
✅ What core message you want them to take away
✅ How to deliver it tied with a bow.
Turn every session into something the room actually wants to receive. Holistic, audience-friendly, and engaging from the first minute to the last.
