  <extract-formatted>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you think in words or pictures, or both? &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_thinking"&gt;Visual thinking&lt;/a&gt; engages the part of the brain that handles visual processing, and is said to be both "emotional and creative" so you can "organise information in an intuitive and simultaneous way".&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A picture really might be worth a thousand words, while being easier to understand and recall. Therefore it is worth exploring how visual thinking can help you communicate ideas to colleagues and clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have collated a few presentations to help you do exactly that. These will help you to understand the benefits of visual thinking, and there - obviously - lots of useful visualisations to aid you.&lt;/p&gt;
