Testimonials

“I am so so, so, so, glad we were finally able to do it. My only regret is that I didn’t do It sooner!  You put everything into your sessions, and it was world-class training.

Learning Outcomes

In this training workshop, you’ll build a solid foundation in visual facilitation, gaining the understanding, the techniques, and the confidence to start working visually straight away.

Your meetings, workshops, and training sessions become more engaging because you can make thinking visible in real time, not just on slides after the fact.

You understand the building blocks of visual language, lines, shapes, pictograms, figures, and colour, and how to combine them with intention and clarity.

You leave with the confidence to pick up a marker in front of a group, knowing exactly what to do with it.

You can adapt, tweak, and make templates and posters your own, so your visuals fit your context, your team,
and your facilitation style.

Your participants grasp complex ideas faster, retain information longer, and stay more engaged, because you know how to organise and present information visually.

Who should attend

This workshop is for you if you facilitate dialogue, lead learning, transfer knowledge, or drive change, and you want your visuals to do more of the heavy lifting.

Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Coaches,
Consultants, Facilitators, Trainers, Managers, Team Leaders, Teachers, OD practitioners, and Business Analysts all find an immediate home for these skills.

No prior drawing skills required. If you can write the alphabet, you can learn this technique. This workshop is the natural entry point into the bikablo® learning pathway.
