I have long wanted to offer something affordable that gives you a taste of working with me and is fun and useful. Introducing… The Vision Sketch Session! It works like this: We meet on Zoom for an hour, and I draw your business vision and -challenges. It can be magical! Here is what happened to…

Very useful red-thread messaging map My ears always perk up when I hear about a storytelling or messaging recipe. When I found Tamsen Webster’s “Red thread” storytelling framework, I immediately translated it into a visual map – sprinkled with my own ideas.   Start with WHO If you’re not sure about your niche, print a…

Here are some reasons why I enjoy being an entrepreneur, and not working for somebody else. But still, I wouldn’t want to change a thing! Because… (see images!) What about you? What do you enjoy about being an entrepreneur… or about NOT being one? —  

How long does it take to find (or generate…) an image to go with your Linkedin post? I bet that doing a little drawing is faster and more fun. Ok, it might take a couple of hours to learn the basics. (I’ll offer a Crash Course in Simple illustration soon!) Once you have some figures…

These drawings are inspired by Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh: When I have a toothache, I discover that not having a toothache is a wonderful thing. I had to have a toothache to know that not having one is wonderful. My non-toothache is peace, is joy. But when I do not have a toothache, I do not…

The other day, I did a “Superpower Session” with Beth Cox. Beth is a yoga/movement instructor specializing in chronic pain. She helps her clients with specific movements AND the mindset side, which is important for chronic conditions. Beth calls it “dealing with the pain brain”. Brand Story As a chronic pain sufferer herself, Beth knows…

I’ve been reflecting on “making an offer” lately. Back in my graphic design days, when I just relied on word-of-mouth, I didn’t make offers. The word alone made me queasy. But now, I see “offer” in a different light. It is not (necessarily) salesy. Offering your work is also about connecting, about sharing a part of…

I had a blast sketching live at the Sorø City “Light Festival on Saturday. People were surprised and delighted that there was a real person (me!) drawing, and they could see my drawings emerge in real time on the big facade.      Given their popularity, I reflected on whether to promote these “Lilluminations” more -…

There’s an endless number of layers to ‘you’, but to simplify things, here are three: The ordinary “everyday you”, that takes care of business, reads emails and wipes noses. Your “brand persona” costume you take on when you publish content. Depending on your brand, it is knowledgable, fun or irreverent. But then there is another…

I was asked the other day how I got started with my business. It is difficult to define the point where I got started, because it feels more like a long process than one point in time. Yes, there were milestones, like when I discovered that drawing could be easy. Or when I posted my…

Are you struggling with procrastination? Always on a quest to find the best tricks to become more productive? Me too. I started reading Ali Abdaal’s book “Feel Good Productivity”. (Sidenote: Ali is a wildly successful YouTuber, who I found a few years ago because he was talking about sketchnotes on the iPad. Now he is…

I see it time and time over with my clients and students: They are great at what they are doing. They have worked a long time to perfect their craft. Now, they try to convey every nuance of their thinking and the thinking behind the thinking. And often they talk about what THEY do instead of…

But maybe you want to grow, and you don’t quite know which screw to turn? If so, here is aworksheet for you!  It will tell you if you should improve your service, or…

Dave is a “possibilitarian” and pioneer in visual thinking. After a long and successful career he asked himself “What is the next thing that is possible in my life?” I am sketching his inspiring story from becoming an artist, creating and growing business, to launching the “School of the Possible” while we talk. The School…

Happy New Year! I hope you entered the new year in style- whether that was partying wildly or chilling out. At our house, we watched the Queen’s speech, had delicious Semmelknödel with gravy made by my American cousin, and of course Danish kransekage with champagne. The topic of the “word of the year” came up.…

  The time between Christmas and New Year’s is a liminal space… a pause between the chapters of time. The world seems to hold its breath, and the veil between what was and what will be grows thin. This is your canvas of possibility. Humans, with their hopes and dreams, look back at the fading…

I’m signing off for a few days! I’m going to spend some time with my extended family, doing the Danish stuff like Having “æbleskiver with gløgg” at what translates to “Small Christmas Eve” on the 23th Sing and dance around the Christmas tree on the 24th We’ll be meeting again the days after for “julefrokost”…

Friendly Money Magic Book tip: “Love Money, Money Loves You”, by Sarah McCrum, was recommended to me. Disclaimer: I didn’t get far into it before I got inspired to illustrate. But I’ll read it! Here is the first paragraph, where “Money” is speaking: “I would like to tell you to love me. Smile at me. Collect…

I sat down with Tarja Moles, organic intelligence coach and we talked about her experience in Visual Minds “The last time I drew before joining Visual Minds was in primary school. And then I kind of went off drawing because I though “I’m rubbish at it. So there’s no point in even trying.” But you…

Spreading the light – lovely gift idea! Plus, meet my first coach. Are you stressed out about buying Christmas gifts? Here is a different idea. First, the back story. Seven years ago, when I didn’t know how to even start becoming more visible, I heard a lovely woman being interviewed on a podcast. I don’t quite…
