Episode 70 - Sketch-noting for Inclusive Collaboration with Sam Carpenter

Sketch-noting for Inclusive Collaboration with Sam Carpenter

I welcome my dear friend Sam Carpenter, a visual collaboration expert helping teams find clarity and connection through sketch-noting and graphic facilitation. As a certified Bikablo trainer and freelance graphic recorder, Sam brings a unique lens to facilitation—one that turns complexity into clarity, and meetings into moments of shared meaning.

In this episode, we explore how visual storytelling can empower neurodiverse individuals, break communication barriers, and invite more inclusive collaboration. If you’ve ever struggled with messy meetings, alignment issues, or inaccessible communication—this one’s for you.

Sam shows us live, how sketch-noting helped her reframe dyslexia as a superpower, how visuals enhance collaborative sense-making, and why even the simplest drawings can build deep understanding. From Agile roots to flipping the script on PowerPoint culture, this episode is packed with energy, empathy, and practical inspiration for facilitators.
