In this episode, I’m taking you right back to where it all began, 2012, a new iPad, and a conversation over lunch that changed how I think, listen, and learn.
That was the moment I discovered the power of visual note-taking.
Not just as a fun way to doodle in the margins, but as a strategy that genuinely helped me remember, reflect and make sense of what I was hearing.
I’ll walk you through my 5 Step Method: a simple, visual approach you can literally hold in your hand, while exploring Dual Coding Theory.
Whether you're taking notes in a meeting, in class, or while listening to a podcast this technique is designed to help you process and retain ideas more clearly.
