How do you deal with creative blocks and challenges when working on visual stories?
It’s also good to get a little outside perspective at this point. Once you think you have a coherent flow to your narrative, it’s a good idea to ask others what they see and hear from your story. Only ask people whose opinions you actually value and who also have some “bona fide qualifications to judge” in the first place. Those qualifications could be something as simple as being an seven year old (if that’s the audience for your story). And remember that, just because you’re receiving advice doesn’t mean you always need to take it. The more you do, the more you learn; the more you can trust your gut that you’re making proper decisions, regardless of the experts, because you’re always becoming an expert yourself.

How do you deal with creative blocks and challenges when working on visual stories?
I agree, but sometimes it’s helpful to step away from the things that you’re familiar with and already love. Chances are, those things have been inspiring you for a long time already whether you know it or not. When I’m really stumped I go outside. I go to a place I’ve never been, look at things I’ve never seen before. I talk to people I’ve never spoken with; ask them to tell me about themselves or tell me something I don’t know. (Safely and respectfully of course!) Sometimes, something new can be just enough to ignite a new spark of inspiration, or rekindle your old flames.

IT Communication In Crisis | Results From The CEC’s 2015 "Power Of Effective IT Communication" Benchmark Survey
CIO Executive Council
Communication between IT and non-IT employees is in a state of crisis — across job titles, across
verticals, across regions. Four out of five IT leaders claim that building trust and credibility is
highly important. However, only four out of one hundred believe that they are highly effective in
communicating with their non-IT colleagues.
Half of IT leaders believe that this disparity is due, in part, to a lack of communication talent on the
IT team. And this deficiency could…Communication between IT and non-IT employees is in a state of crisis — across job titles, across
verticals, across regions. Four out of five IT leaders claim that building trust and credibility is
highly important. However, only four out of one hundred believe that they are highly effective in
communicating with their non-IT colleagues.
Half of IT leaders believe that this disparity is due, in part, to a lack of communication talent on the
IT team. And this deficiency could not reveal itself at a more inopportune time: an era of unparalleled digital disruption, hallmarked by globalization and extreme market volatility. By 2020, 75% of the
Fortune 500 will be comprised of names we have not heard of yet, according to Patrick Forth, Senior
Partner and Managing Director at The Boston Consulting Group (BCG).1 The companies that thrive will be:
1. Customer-focused
2. Agile and responsive to market conditions
3. Efficient and innovative technology champions
Effective communication will continue to be the common thread, the business-enabling quality that
helps guarantee all of the others.
The stakes could not be higher in a digitally disrupted world.Other authors -
