COMING SOON: How to Draw Your Message, Wayne Kronz

Don’t Miss This Seminar!

If we had an accurate picture of the findings of clinical psychologists and cognitive learning specialist, we would all put much more effort into the visual aids we use in our presentations.

Albert Mehrabian showed us that 93% of all communication is nonverbal. His research is well documented, but seldom attended to.

The 3M Corporation insists that we process visuals 60,000 times faster than text.

This information is huge. Yet we continue to put 50-slide PowerPoint shows together (that are essentially text) every day.

If you’ve been following this blog at all, you know that I use PowerPoint all of the time. I use it for quotation slideshows, entertainment slideshows and as a model building tool. For these tasks, it can’t be beat! I love it!

(And there are other things that PPT does well.)

But don’t expect people to learn much from your fifty-slide dream-makers.

This is why I spend lots of time building process models and method maps. Or, as I prefer to call them, Theme Models.

In a few weeks I am going to make available to you the complete home study course, How to Draw Your Message for Fun and Huge Profit.

It is based on the actual visual aids used by the very best speakers and presenters in the world. (Up front experts like Chris Anderson, Jim Collins, Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Robert Kiyosaki and Patricia Seybold, to name only a few.)

Plus, the latest research on the design and use of visual aids in public speaking, like the two references listed above. (And there is a lot more convincing research packages out there beyond the two listed here.)

Keep an eye on this blog and begin to tell everyone you know who speaks in public about this upcoming, career-changing, course, How to Draw Your Message for Fun and Huge Profit.

Thank You!

You met Robert Kiyosaki a few days ago. Just as he has an incredible financial messages for students and investors, , , so his wife, Kim Kiyosaki in her book Rich Woman: A Book on Investing for Women - Because I Hate Being Told What to Do! has similar information especially written for women.

Here's a Quotation Slideshow to help you sample her well-written material. Enjoy!

"Don't think. Look."

From Tim Brown's best-selling book, Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation comes the quotation, "Don't think. Look." It's original source is not certain to me.

There is a lot to be said for a presenters attitude toward the visual aids you use. You should have absolute confidence in your graphic.

You command great attention from your audience when, while your speaking, you turn to your whiteboard and say, "Let's draw exactly how this works."

When you have total confidence in what you are drawing, your audience instantly identifies you as a highly credible expert in your field.

This positive approach works wonders for world-class presenters like Brian Buffini, Robert Kiyosaki, and Tony Robbins.

While these top pros do not say it out loud, secretly they know the power of a well-drawn message. They are confident their message has been delivered.

They silently shout, "Look."

Building Your Visual Speakers Library

Now, it's time to begin building your "visual speakers library." Today I am recommending six books. And I'll add to this list as time goes on.

This post is also a blatant pitch. If you don't already own these six books, you should. These vintage books are "must owns" for any public speaker, trainer, or teacher who really wants to be a top-notch visual communicator.

And, if you are going to invest in these masterpieces, you may as well get them right here at this convenient link.



1. I'm OK, You're OK by Thomas Harris' is a twenty-million, plus best seller. The whole Transactional Analysis (TA) movement was and is driven by the ultra simple graphics in this book.

2. The One-Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson is known as a "parable book" and is not known for the visual aids it uses.

But, apart from the visual effect of their great story, there is a classic visual at the back of the book. I think it should have been in the front of the book. And it should have been simplified.

3. Competitive Advantage. Harvard Business School professor, Micheal Porter is a world-class user of visual aids in his speaking and writing.

His Five Competitive Forces diagram is the theme model is the feature graphic of not one but three bestselling books and report. (Competitive Strategy and Harvard Business Presses' special report, The Five Competitive Forces.)

4. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People you Stephen Covey and his co-authors, is literally, an extraordinary visual speakers Manuel. Forget its' self-improvement content (not really :) and just use it to help you create visual aids for your own presentations.

Almost ever chapter uses the concept I preach so much, the use of a theme model, beginning with one key graphic then "backing it up" with a few well crafted visuals.

5. The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge is much like 7 Habits, jamb packed with all sorts of dramatic and very effective visual aids. Use this book as a resource as you design your messages and the graphics that you use selling your message.

6. Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is another masterpiece. Coupled with his second book, Cashflow Quadrant you have two of the best communicating visual aids ever designed. Kiyosakis' seminar career has been propelled to the highest level by the simple illustrations in these two books.

So there you have it, , , my Top Six visuallly driven books in the field of business and behavior. I urge you to begin building a library of these kinds of books.

They are far more valuable than books on graphic design and "how to use visual aids." These great books (and there are more I'll write about in the future) represent the actual transfer of their culture-changing message in world-class proportions.
