Working with you to put together custom group processes, facilitating the event using live, large-scale visual maps to boost memory, engagement, speed and motivation.
Graphic Facilitation
Creating a process and supporting visuals to engage your unique group and move you into action.
Using a combination of facilitation and simple graphic recording, graphic facilitators use the images they create while guiding the conversation to help participants and organizers move beyond what is possible in "normal" meetings.
This process helps participants see systems, build on the group's ideas, encourages divergent thinking and creates an easy way to build consensus and decide how to move forward.
Why Hire a Graphic Facilitator?
If you’re looking for someone to help guide your group before, during, and after your meeting and also want the benefits of a visual meeting, graphic facilitation may be right for you. One person providing both services keeps event planning simple for you, results in expertly facilitated events, and you walk away with beautiful visual notes from the event.
How Does Visual Meeting Facilitation Work?
As a graphic facilitator, I’m with you for as much of your event journey as you need. I work with you to create a custom meeting agenda to best support your group and goals. Together, we design bespoke visual tools for your event, and I help you think through process and outcomes.
During the meeting, I help set up the space, guide the group, and create real-time visual notes to support deeper thinking, understanding, and connection in the group.
After the event, we work together to make sure the energy and momentum of the event is channeled into action. You have the unique tool of leveraging the visual notes to easily share key ideas, move forward with action plans and strategies, and create continuity between events for meaningful and lasting change.
