“Yolanda is a meeting magician! After more than two years of gathering virtually, she helped our leadership team re-enter the boardroom in person with excitement and care. Her thorough and thoughtful approach encouraged us to think outside of the box and be both vulnerable and bold. ”
“We replaced what was historically hours of PowerPoint presentations with a series of interactive sessions that had us drum-rolling, dancing, and deliberating about our purpose and our passion. We left the meeting not only with tangible action items, but also a renewed enthusiasm for our future as a team.”
“Without a doubt, the process Yolanda led us through greatly strengthened our team and our culture. I’m so glad we had Drawing it Out support us in our team engagement process. It helped us weather the pandemic remarkably well and significantly outperform our competition.”
“I would happily recommend Drawing it Out to others. Working with Yolanda felt easy from the start. She displayed patience, expertise and a playfulness that made her a key part of our team!”
“Not only did she ask good, thought-provoking questions, she organized a number of useful exercises to help us articulate our needs in a way that made us excited about our work.
We came away from our retreat energized and fully focused on the next phase of our collective efforts, and Yolanda was an integral part of that success. We’ll definitely draw on her expertise again!”
“As an organization it was important for our employees to feel part of the change process and provide their input. Having our sessions graphically recorded showed employees their concerns were noted and understood.
Graphically recording those important meetings can provide the lasting impact you wish more meetings had!”
“Young people felt heard in the consultation because Drawing it Out’s team was really open to feedback, their approach was very youth friendly, and they came really prepared. It was great!”
“Yolanda’s real-time drawings gave our audience, who were scientists and engineers, another focal point and greatly enriched the presentations. We ended up using her graphics in a special issue of MTS Journal as well as marketing materials to promote our new committee. We will surely ask for Drawing it Out again!”
