Remember Donna the Deer Lady, and her call to a radio talk show that electrified the nation?To refresh your memory, she was wondering why the highway department place the "Deer Crossing" signs at the busiest sections, where the deer were most likely to get hit by a moving vehicle. “Why are we encouraging deer to cross at the interstate? I don't get it. That's a high- traffic area,” she said.That's exactly the kind of oddball story that grabbed me from minute one with Todd Cherches — a man equipped to wring out profound and useful truths from tales like that one.Todd is not your typical leadership guru—he earned his stripes in Hollywood, teaching actors how to deliver scenes, and later as a project manager sketching theme parks in China.These days, he coaches executives and trains leaders using what he calls visual leadership—a way to help people "see" what you're talking about, not just hear it.In this episode, Todd unpacks how metaphors sneak into everyday chat (“Feed me, Seymour!” anyone?), why a CEO fetching potato chips for the staff says more about leadership than a big speech, and how to stay real and connected when half your team is working in slippers on Zoom.Show HighlightsHow a radio caller's confusion about a deer crossing sign turned into a killer leadership metaphorWhy metaphors are baked into 50–70% of our language—and how to notice when you're spooning them outTodd's Hollywood adventures—including delivering lunches for Aaron Spelling and battling Mt.

In doing so, leaders build engagement, passion, and purpose which contribute to higher intrinsic motivation and performance. He breaks his tools into four categories which include:visual imagery – explaining though pictures, props, drawings, or anything you could take in through the eyemental models and frameworks - simplifying and compartmentalizing the complexmetaphors and analogies – using the familiar to make the invisible visiblestorytelling with a bonus for humor - good for lightening the mood, boosting engagement, and reducing stressFrom there, Todd describes his Passion and Skills Matrix which demonstrates how leaders can help employees find their “sweet spot” where both are high for maximum engagement and performance, and unpacks his R&R tool - providing teams with the resources they need and removing roadblocks.Drawing on his own experience with a horrible boss, Todd reveals the secret for how to become more effective at giving feedback: clarity, empathy, listening, passion, and purpose. He describes why providing employees with autonomy is critical to increasing engagement and fostering innovation while stressing the importance of hiring self-disciplined employees.Todd concludes by noting how essential visibility, voice, and value are to make employees feel seen, heard, and connected.

As a leader, have you ever struggled to communicate your vision? Are you puzzled when others don't quite understand what you are trying to convey? Then this episode is for you!   Today my guest is Todd Cherches, author of VisuaLeadership, and he'll help you leverage the power of visual thinking, not only in your leadership role but also in life.   Todd is the CEO and co-founder of BigBlueGumball LLC, an NYC-based management and leadership consulting, training, and executive coaching firm. He is also a two-time award-winning Adjunct Professor at the NYU School of Professional Studies, in their Division of Programs in Business, where he teaches the top-rated graduate course, “Leadership & Team Building” for their Human Capital Management master's degree program.   In this episode, you'll learn how to: Change the way you think and communicate as a leader using your "mind's eye" Easily leverage the power of visual imagery, mental models, analogy, storytelling and humour to supercharge your communications skills Become a more innovative thinker, better presenter, and effective coach And a lot more! Identify the Resources and Roadblocks I came up with the RnR method, which means Resources and Roadblocks. What are the resources you need to do your job and what are the roadblocks that stand in your way? It really helps to know this. First of all, people appreciated being asked and that I cared enough to stop telling and to start listening. Second, if someone lacked resources to accomplish something, we're able to brainstorm and find a solution for it.   VisuaLeadership Everyone has a viewpoint based on your background, upbringing, culture, and life experiences, and you see certain things in a certain way because that's who you are and that's what you know. But there are other perspectives that we may not be aware of what's outside our own experiences and background. And so VisuaLeadership allows us to start opening our eyes to other ways of looking at things.   Applying the concept of VisuaLeadership in the workplace People are not mind-readers. So often, we say something and it's so clear in our mind what we want and what we need, but we're not able to communicate that effectively to others. So we need to have a picture in our mind and think about how we can bring it to life so that people can see what we're saying and deliver what we want and what we need.         Links and Resources Connect with Todd: LinkedIn, Twitter, Website How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (book) 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey (book) VisuaLeadership by Todd Cherches (book)

Today's guest is the second person I've had on recently to chat about the power of visual thinking. A few weeks ago, it was three-time guest Dan Roam. Today, it's the CEO and co-founder of BigBlueGumball, Todd Cherches. Todd's recent book is called VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life. […] The post 413: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life with Todd Cherches first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Today, I interview Todd Cherches and to describe Todd as a shy child would be an understatement! As a very tall yet introverted boy, he hid in the back of the class and was afraid to speak up-- or even to answer the telephone at home.He was quiet, a bit antisocial, and generally preferred to just be in his own company. However, as you'll see in this interview, Todd shares three experiences that helped him discover the boldness in himself when it comes to seizing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. In the humble beginnings of his career, he moved past the curtain and into a brave and insightful conversation that influenced his direction and attitude. Later, he saved a leadership presentation and stepped up to the plate to deliver it, and in return got to experience firsthand the help and encouragement of the exceptional leaders present. Later still, on the verge of giving in to his introversion when feeling defeated at a conference, he walked through a very special door that would entirely change the trajectory of his entire life. Today, Todd is a professor of leadership, teaching at NYU and Columbia. He is a trainer and coach who teaches leadership skills and presentation skills.__________________ Todd Cherches is the CEO and co-founder of NYC-based executive coaching firm, BigBlueGumball, as well as a three-time award-winning adjunct professor of leadership at NYU and Columbia University.

Are you a Pied Piper of Persuasion?  Or are you petering out behind a screen? Take a look at Canva, a company who took on a Titan Of Design - ADOBE — and is winning mindshare AND market share.  This Australian company is now valued at $40B and led by a young visionary, Melanie Perkins.  She summarizes the power of visual persuasion this way, “It shouldn't matter where you are in the world, or socioeconomic status, or your skills and experience, everyone should have the ability to design.”   Now, I'm not a paid influencer for Canva, but I stand behind their mission!  Today we will give you some tools to win hearts and minds in the new hybrid work setting.  My friend Todd Cherches is a sought-after NYU professor, TEDxspeaker and columnist and a fellow member of the MarshallGoldsmith 100 Coaches community. He coined the term Visual Leadership. Watch the LinkedIn Live replay now. Here's what you will learn in this episode: ✔️ How did Todd Cherches invent the term, Visual Leadership, and how does he define it? Now more than ever, every marketer must equip themselves with the visual leadership techniques required in this new hybrid world that we're living in. The absence of body language and cues we get from face to face conversations demands new skills for effective communication. Listen to Todd Cherches on how to get others to "see" what you're saying and inspire others to take action.  ✔️ What did Todd learn from working with being persuasive when he visited the China Folk Villages theme park? – A place where he didn't know the language? There's a lot of barriers to communication in all areas of our lives. We can't assume everyone speaks our language, understands terminologies & has our experiences. By using visuals, we counteract or overcome some of those barriers by creating a mental movie in someone's imagination so they can actually visualize. Watch the LinkedIn Live replay now. ✔️ Reframing is one of the most often overlooked persuasion skills. Only seeing things from your perspective is a bad habit. Take time to take off your glasses and see things from another person's point of view. Change your perspective and get outside yourself. These are the vital points that author Todd Cherches discusses in his book VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life. Dedicate today to seeing the world from a new perspective.  ✔️ Leaders not only need to be good storytellers, but they also need to be good story listeners. Look internally at your biases, assumptions, prejudices and filters and listen to other people pull out their stories and hear what people are experiencing. If you just put out memos and policies without any thoughts about who they're impacting or what your people want or need, it's a recipe for failure. ✔️ Look around you, find the surroundings that give you joy and inspiration. Do you find your environment as that fantastic trigger for calming your soul? A place where you allow yourself to ask what ifs? Where can you think strategically and use that time for self-reflection? Find that and see your visual leadership ideas born. Click here for the replay. Copyright 2021, Lisa Nirell.

We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words. And a metaphor can be worth a thousand pictures. It is one of the reasons why the best presenters use images instead of text and stories instead of statistics. If you want to excel in communication, excelling in visual thinking is necessary. The foundation of any communication is getting others to "see" what you're saying. Communicating visually – whether through the use of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, or storytelling – will enable you to more effectively get an idea from your "mind's eye" and into the head of another. Our guest this week is Todd Cherches, who is the author of "VisuaLeadership." We talk about:Importance of visual thinking.Connection of visual thinking with the visual-leadership.When visual thinking works, and when it doesn't.Power of metaphors and side-effects.Todd's book on visual leadership.Todd is the CEO and co-founder of BigBlueGumball, a New York City-based management consulting firm specializing in leadership development, public speaking, and executive coaching.  He is also a Founding Partner of the Global Institute For Thought Leadership, a member of Marshall Goldsmith's "MG100 Coaches" group, a three-time award-winning Adjunct Professor of leadership at NYU, and a Lecturer on leadership at Columbia University.

Given he has just released a book about visual communication, you can imagine those conversations were quite animated and aligned.As is often the case with all professional communicators, the same advice and tips are shared.
