Website: Making Ideas Visable
The revolution will not be televised–but it could be visually mapped, laminated, overnighted, mounted on a wall, and used to ignite a movement once Julie Stuart gets involved.
Recognized in Harvard Business Review for her graphic facilitation work before anyone could agree on what to call it, Julie has visually facilitated high-stakes meetings for such clients as Accenture, GE Energy, the American Institute for Architects, and the Center for Disease Control. Part strategist, part business truth-teller, part idea taxonomist, part champion of insights, Julie combines the right questions with a few well-placed scribbles to envision what’s really possible for her clients–and to map out how to make what matters happen.
Years ago, when facing a choice between creativity, business, and world-changing, she chose all of the above, finding a new kind of art in bringing change agents’ ideas out of them. She’s never met a good cause she didn’t love. (Ask her about those 73 acres of trees in her hometown–free at last!)
With a Masters in Fine Art, an undergrad in political science and a background in teaching, public policy, journalism, non-profit management, and environmental science, Julie’s résumé has come to resemble one of her visual maps. To complete the picture, just add her three great passions: sailboats, ice skating and photography. It really is all connected, you see.

When Jamie invited me to write this piece, I was an effusive YES. Now, in all fairness, if Jamie asked me to shave my head, I’d likely still be an effusive YES, because I love and respect her that much (AND…of course she’d have a good and savvy reason for wanting to see my bald pate).
But it wasn’t like I gave a ton of thought to what I intended to write when I offered up that YES. Intrinsically, I know dreams really do come true. I see it every single day. Big ones, little ones. I hold them for my clients and witness them coming to life. And the frequency does nothing to dim the sheer wonder I feel every time I watch them unfold.
Where I hesitate is in considering my own life. By all of my own measures, I have an incredibly rich one. The life of my dreams, I guess you could say. If I had designed a checklist when I was in my early 20’s of where I dreamt of being by the time I was eyeball-to-eyeball with 40, I know most boxes would be checked with great flourish.
How did that happen? One way. And hundreds ways.
The one way was a clear vision: abundance of love, joy and prosperity (though I’m not sure those would have been my exact words). And the hundreds of ways were the piles of mistakes, missteps and stubbed toes along the way. In learning my value and my values. In leaving room for magic while still holding focus. In living with the questions knowing that they would give way to the answers.
And in this very moment, I realize that some of those unchecked boxes are calling my name, asking to be loved up and tended to.
I’ve been so focused on the meta-view of my life that I’ve not been addressing the “other” dreams – the ones that get relegated to the category of “greedy” or “too much”. The impeccably gorgeous workspace. The travel I want for my father. The cottage. Some philanthropic work that feels so tender I dare not write the words. The personal stylist. The TV Show.
And so, once again, I am grateful to Jamie Ridler. In her request for this piece was a whispered invitation: what dreams to you want to see come to life, Tanya?
I will now make space for these other dreams. With spaciousness and intention.
Thank you, Jamie.
Tanya Geisler is a certified business and life coach who simply cannot and will not shake her indomitable belief that if everyone knew and lived their values, they’d hold the key to shining in their life, in their work and in their life’s work. (Now, wouldn’t THAT make for a far more joyous world?) A catalyst, not a therapist, she wrote The Joy Pages, created Board of Your Life , and speaks with great passion on all things joy, meaning and purpose.
