A while back, in France for work, the hotel TV did not have many English speaking languages. One of the channels: Euro News, had a 1-minute video that came on periodically called “No Comment.” There was no voice over, just a recent video somewhere in the world – and you were left to interpret it yourself. The videos ranged from a rigid North Korean government ceremony with flowers, to a devastating flood in China, to a fun summer day in Latvia with everyone in the street getting wet by pouring water on each other.
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, and this “no comment” segment provided a story without words. In business, however, we mostly rely on emails, texts, and power points with bullets only. A colleague of mine likes to leverage “infographics” to visually communicate her story.
How can you improve your visual communications?
