How visual journaling helped me

My story didn't start with visual journaling. It started with a good deal of overwhelm and feeling like my creative spark needed a crash cart.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…

Cathy Hutchison gave an incredibly informative, engaging and fun talk for an online program. She was an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end, and our patrons had a wonderful time. The talk was information packed and infused with humor. The visuals were a perfect accompaniment. Many of us are still talking about what we learned!

Cathy made planning the program easy as well with her knowledge of technology and professional comportment. I really enjoyed organizing the program with her.

An all-around delightful evening. I highly recommend her!

I enjoy using visual journaling the most when setting goals. This allows me to interact with my goals on a daily basis. I can immediately see what I have done and what I need to do by a quick glance at my goal sheet. The way Cathy teaches makes me excited! I am so glad I learned about visual journaling and have incorporated it into my life.

As a visual learner (and a doodler) the concept of journaling through drawing really speaks to me. Taking Cathy’s class gave me the confidence and the skills to put into daily practice a powerful toolset to capture and express ideas in a way that actually works for me!

Visual journaling has taken my messaging to another level. Through visual journaling, I have been able to capture the overall meaning of my notes in simple illustrations that later provides immediate recall of whole thoughts rather than just the words captured. Cathy is an expert teacher. She is able to demonstrate that anyone, even someone like me with limited art abilities, can visually journal with simple shapes and characters.

As an event planner, I know that Cathy’s events are always extremely well received and highly rated. She’s so popular with my group, I have actually had to change venues to allow for a larger crowd in order to meet demand.
