In this episode, Sheila shares her journey and the process she calls SketchPoetic, a daily sketching practice with the power to become a powerful catalyst for transformation.   Guest Bio Sheila Darcey has 20+ years of experience as a facilitator and consultant in the technology and digital agency space.
