First of all we have the cognitive value. Our human brains react not just to words (spoken or written) but to images, sounds and even the kinesthetic experience we have as we interact with each other. So including the visual aspects into learning and doing things together enhances a group\u2019s practice and results.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Second, visuals help us both in meaning making and in our working relationships with each other. I work internationally a lot and I\u2019ve found visual facilitation does some wonderful things around the issues of power and language. Pictures, unlike words in so many cultures, are often perceived as less precise, or negotiable. When someone says \u201cblah blah blah blah\u201d we tend to either THINK we understand them, or if we don\u2019t we may resist saying something at the risk of \u201clooking stupid, \u201d especially in contexts of power and in hierarchies.
