Resources for Thinking, Working, and Communicating Visually

When we lead workshops on Graphic Facilitation (like the one we held this weekend the NY Peace Institute in Brooklyn) we like to share much of the information that WE learned from our peers and those that came before us.  

Below is a list of resources we would like to share with our participants.

We know that many of you have links and books that you refer to for increasing your team’s collaboration. Please feel free to leave a link in the comments box to share with others!
