Mapping innovations

One of my favourite people to work with is John Talbot. John is one of the gurus of the community development field, and a great mentor to me and many others. I met John last January when he approached me about doing some graphic recording at a meeting he was facilitating. I didn't think I was quite ready for prime time at that point. But John encouraged me to develop my skills — and even more: he invited me to try my hand at a workshop on community development a few weeks later! This speaks volumes for John's qualities as a mentor, since neither he nor I had any idea what I'd be able to do. But he trusted that I'd produce, and apparently I did, since we've continued to team up on various projects.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos of that session — but here are a couple of shots from the next meeting John and I worked together on for the Innovations Network at Community Living BC (CLBC). As is always the case when working with John, it was highly collaborative, lots of fun, and a great learning experience. Thanks, JT!
