Episode Synopsis

Episode 35: Rethink the way you explain your workExplaining what you do isn’t always easy, especially when, like Nicki, your work reaches into many areas at once. In this episode of Rethink: the Podcast, Nicki shares the story of how the “octopus” metaphor first came to life when she was teaching in Singapore, wishing she could help every student at the same time.From workshops and team coaching to study mentoring, art tuition, teacher support, portfolio guidance, courses, and sketchnoting, each tentacle of Nicki’s octopus represents a way she helps people think more clearly and work more confidently. All of it connects back to visual thinking, the core of her practice.Listeners will hear how each “tentacle” solves a different problem, why the octopus metaphor is so powerful, and how to find your own way of explaining your work, whether that’s through metaphor or a clear one-liner.🎧 Tune in to discover how to organise your octopus, and rethink the way you describe what you do.We all need a rethink once in a while, so why not start today?
