Insight, in sight, incite!

I was reminded this week whilst running a Visual Storytelling workshop with a group of Social Entrepreneurs in Lewisham, the power of insight. We all stand in a different place and see the world through our lens of previous experiences. What you see is all there is. It’s impossible to reach conclusions based on things you’re not aware of. And so we need to be able to listen to each other and learn from one another.

And so the ability to communicate one’s insight is pretty important – in plain sight.

h/t to Frans Masereel who’s woodcut graphic novels are a thing to behold.
