This two-day workshop includes:

  • An overview of the history of the visual facilitation field and the range of visual approaches now being used with groups and individuals;
  • Explanation of the ‘tools of the trade’ (paper, tape, markers, helpful aids);
  • Hands on practice with basic shapes, lettering and simple icons;
  • Demos and practice sessions of Custom Studio Work, Graphic Recording, Graphic Facilitation, and Graphic Coaching;

Note: this workshop is an adapted version of my Fundamentals of Interactive-Visuals course.

DESIRED OUTCOMES: By the end of the session participants will:

  • Understand Interactive-Visuals range (studio work, graphic recording/scribing, graphic facilitation and graphic coaching) and its powerful benefits in process work with groups and individuals.
  • Experience ‘de-mystification – see how this work is not ‘art’ but a sophisticated process methodology of great benefit to process professionals who need to effectively engage and co-create with stakeholders.
  • Feel more secure with your ability to use Interactive-Visuals methods no matter your artistic level (again, it not about art, its about process … anybody can do this work if there is a will).
  • Understand logical next steps for integrating skills into your own practice areas.
  • Leave pleased with what you’ve learned and inspired to start applying immediately!
