Dear coachingspace community,
it has always been our goal to model the consulting experience in coachingspace as closely as possible on the analog world. This also applies to our digital whiteboard, which, with its pens, lines and moderation cards, has already offered our users many of the possibilities of its analog counterpart. With our latest update, the whiteboard has now moved another little step closer to the analog world.
Even more stylish visualizations with the YourFlip graphics
What would many trainings and coaching sessions be without the lovely graphics we draw on the flipchart as consultants? Some of us may turn out to be Pablo Picasso's rightful heirs, while others will be grateful if their ship is actually recognized as a ship and not mistaken for a car or an apple.
To prevent exactly that, many of us buy template books for the analog flipchart, template books such as those by Jörg Schmidt. In online coaching, however, there is the added difficulty that drawing with a mouse is much harder, even for the Picassos among us, than drawing on an analog flipchart with, for example, Neuland markers.
That is why, a few weeks ago, Jörg founded his own startup, YourFlip. With YourFlip, you can design professional online flipcharts using a wide range of graphics and templates and, if needed, have them printed and sent to you for use in the analog world. We liked the idea so much that we promptly entered into a cooperation with Jörg, and we are now allowed to use 50 of his wonderful graphics on our digital whiteboard.
The graphics can be searched by keyword using the built-in search bar and, just like with the digital Inner Team, hidden on the client side. You can also enlarge and shrink the graphics. In the future, you will also be able to rotate them and layer them on top of each other more easily using different levels. With this link, you can go straight to a whiteboard where you can try out the YourFlip graphics.

5 graphics are missing… for now!
If you count carefully, you will notice that, contrary to the title of this post, there are currently not 50 but "only" 45 YourFlip graphics available. The reason is simple: we wanted to make a preselection, and that was by no means easy for us. A survey among some of our users finally produced the current 45 graphics. We still get to pick five more from Jörg, and that is where you, our community, come in. Let us know in the comments below this post: which graphics are you still missing?
And it won't stop at these soon-to-be 50 graphics either. We have agreed with Jörg that we will soon be able to add more of the over 2,000 graphics available at YourFlip to coachingspace. And so coachingspace will keep moving a little closer to analog reality.
As always, we hope you enjoy trying it out.
Your coachingspace team
