HERE'S HOW to make a new template for yourself.

1. Search our blog post for templates using keywords related to your challenge (see examples below). Innovation template, crucial conversation template, or customer feedback template are a few examples. Do a search online if you'd like more template ideas. 
2. Pick one template to make your own. If you need to, change the words or add to the template.
3. Draw the template in YOUR style using the colors, lettering styles and hierarchy that make sense to you.
4. If you wish, add icons or a callout shape where you will be able to add a key "takeaway" message.
