Graphic Visualisation Workshop

The power of graphics in meetings and training.

Many facilitators are now getting to grips with being able to brighten up flip charts and wall charts with stimulating graphics.

However, many of us believe that we can not draw, so stick with old-fashioned, word-heavy presentations

We CAN all draw – albeit some better than others – and with the right assistance we can all make effective images that will aid what we do, create effective memory triggers and entertain.

Our "Introduction to Graphics" Workshop, run here at the Pinpoint Facilitation Centre in Chalgrove demonstrate. Bruce Rowling gives a highly entertaining day and everybody leaving these 1-day courses will leave with a personal directory of images they can use, but more importantly the confidence to make images work for their groups.

Martin Haussmann, creator of the bikablo® series, is here on the 8th and 9th February running an advanced graphics course.  For more details of his work, click here.

Spread the word! “Graphics are good for you.”

Introduction to Graphics

• Getting the most out of your Graphic Boards, Pinboards and Flipcharts.
• Helping to create a stimulating visual environment for your workshops.
• Engaging the creative parts of your brain and helping participants do the same.

During this one-day session, you will learn how you can improve the impact of your flipcharts and pinboards dramatically through the use of colour and simple images. You will realise that you don’t need to be a great artist to create clear and powerful graphics.

Unlock your hidden artistic potential and discover that, when it comes to graphics, less is more. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Use of visual images will also help you to build rapport with the group and make your workshops truly memorable and effective.
