SCENARIO: You requested a meeting where you’ll be pitching a wild idea you can’t get out of your head.
It’s in early stages so it feels a bit all over the place.
MAKE IT VISUAL: Draw out your idea. By creating a simple visual, you’ll:
- determine the most important things you want to discuss around the idea
- have a road map for the conversation
- take the jumble that lives in your head and turn it into something tangible and presentable
- help the person you are pitching it to see it more clearly
Granted, it might take a draft or two, but that’s part of the creative process.
INSPIRATION: Yesterday I met with the Mayor of Centennial to get feedback on a business development idea I have. I brought this visual along with me as a guide. I had this ideas months and months ago and couldn’t let it go, so I made a rough pen sketch so the idea would live on paper instead of my head. The thought still nudged me, so I requested a meeting to find out more on next steps and turned my pen sketch into something much more visual for this conversation with Mayor Piko.
