Episode 27: Peeling Back the Layers. Visual Frameworks for Deeper Thinking

In this episode of Rethink: The Podcast, we’re digging beneath the surface. Nicki Hambleton explores the power of the onion metaphor to unpack complexity and reveal what’s really going on.

Using visual thinking strategies, we peel back the outer layers of what’s being said, how it’s being said and dive into the beliefs, emotions and assumptions hidden underneath. You'll learn how to work through each layer to reach deeper clarity, greater empathy and more meaningful solutions.

🔍 Whether you're coaching, leading, learning, or facilitating, this episode will help you visualise conversations differently with tools to guide others through solving problems or complex thinking.

You’ll hear:

• Why metaphors like the onion work so well in thinking and communication
• A step-by-step visual framework to guide deeper insight
• How to apply this in strategy sessions, team coaching, learning and reflection
