Keynote Speaker: Amy E. Herman
President, The Art of Perception
Amy Herman is a lawyer and art historian who uses works of art to sharpen observation, analysis, and communication skills. By showing people how to look closely at painting, sculpture, and photography, she helps them hone their visual intelligence to recognize the most pertinent and useful information as well as biases that impede decision making. She developed her Art of Perception seminar in 2000 when she was head of education at The Frick Collection in New York City in order to improve medical students’ observation and communication skills with their patients. She subsequently adapted the program for a wide range of professionals. She leads sessions for groups and organizations around the world, including the New York City Police Department, the FBI, the French National Police, the Department of Defense, Interpol, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, first responders, the military, and the intelligence community. The presentation is highly participatory and demonstrates to participants the relevance of visual literacy across the professional spectrum and how analyzing works of art can provide them with an innovative way to refresh their sense of critical inquiry and reconsider the skills necessary for improved performance and effective leadership. The program has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The CBS Evening News, and Smithsonian Magazine, among others. Her TED talk, A Lesson in Looking, went live in December 2018. Ms. Herman holds an A.B., a J.D., and an M.A. in art history. Her book, Visual Intelligence, was published in May 2016 and was on both the New York Times and Washington Post best sellers’ lists.
The Art of Perception Leadership Training: Seeing What Matters
Amy Herman is a lawyer and art historian who uses works of art to systematically sharpen observation and perception skills as well as refine communication of both vision and strategy. By showing leaders how to look closely at painting, sculpture, photography, she helps them hone their visual intelligence to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. This highly participatory session uses works of art to address breakdowns in communication in complex strategic planning and exchanges of critical information, which can be detrimental to a company’s unified mission. The Art of Perception addresses these deficiencies by engaging participants in dialogue and exercises that connect skills in perception and communication directly to strategic thinking as well as to stakeholder relationships. Visual literacy provides an innovative vehicle from which to refresh participants’ sense of critical inquiry, understand biases that impede optimal decision making, and renew skills necessary for effective leadership.
