Enhance Your Workshops: Supporting Facilitators for Seamless Workshops
There’s A Reason We Say
Maximize Workshop Impact with Professional Facilitator Assistance
Leading a workshop is a multifaceted task that demands full attention and engagement. Our facilitator assistance services are designed to support facilitators in capturing every valuable idea, ensuring no thought is lost, and allowing them to focus on guiding the conversation and the people in the room.
We capture the essence of your workshop discussions visually, creating visual stories that encapsulate every idea and conversation. This means facilitators can concentrate on facilitation without the distraction of taking notes.
Experienced Facilitation Support
With our vast experience in facilitation, we can assist in the preparation and design of workshops. By involving us early, we become a discussion partner, helping to shape the workshop’s direction, questions, and modules for maximum engagement.
Operational Efficiency
From setting up and breaking down modules to capturing outputs on flip charts, we handle the operational aspects, ensuring the workshop runs smoothly. This leaves the facilitator free to focus on delivering an exceptional experience.
Comprehensive Visual Summaries and Reports
Post-workshop, we produce visual summary reports and organize file structures, providing a clear and engaging record of the session’s outcomes. This makes follow-up and implementation more efficient and impactful.
Enhanced Engagement with Visual Tools
If engaged early, we create visual templates and tools to boost engagement and creativity. For online workshops, we build detailed onlinemural boards to facilitate smooth, interactive sessions.
Your Right – Hand Partner
Think of us as the Robin to your Batman. We are your right-hand partner, ensuring your workshop is not only more effective and efficient but also more engaging and productive. This translates to a better overall experience for your clients and superior outcomes for their investment.
My team and I partnered with Paul as a live scribe during a culture change workshop with senior stakeholders. It’s rare to have someone who understood facilitation, strategic/management concepts and had the creative flair to capture all of it in a compelling way. Paul took the time to deeply understand the project, client and the intended outcome. He was flexible, adaptable and comfortable creating a positive vibe with all who engaged with him. Completely invaluable and highly recommended!

How it works
Before the Event
Prepare for Picture Perfect-ion
We meet, brainstorm and collaborate with you to ensure the visual notetaking we develop for your event are on brand, meet your needs and guaranteed to wow your audience…
During the Event
Engage, Educate and Inspire
We’ll take your content and visually propel it to the next level. Capturing all critical presentation points in visual notes, live. Ensuring it is seen, heard and remembered for weeks to come.
After the Event
Extend Your Event
You will receive digital files of all your graphic recordings allowing you and your audience to relive the session time and again.. Easy share-ability keeps the momentum and buzz building well after your event ends.
We highly recommend you alert speakers to our presence at your event. But we don’t really distract from the speakers. It is our job to enhance the experience without taking the limelight away from the speaker. When people see us they ask themselves “What are they doing?” Then when they notice that we are capturing the content of the speaker they are engaged even more as they start to watch the speaker then check what we draw and are almost doubly engaged as they are enthralled by what is going on. Oh, and most keynotes speakers are blown away by our work and tag themselves and share it. While also wanting their own copies of the visual notes.
The ETA of the finished product really depends on the session we are capturing and the outcome you are looking for. Most sessions our visual notes are finished almost at the same time the speaker does maybe just needing another 5 minutes of tidy up. But other times we need another day. It depends on your needs and how busy we are on the day.
No. Most things we visually capture we have no idea what people will say apart from knowing the name of their speech. Keeps us on our toes! And is where our decade plus worth of experience pays off!
We cut our teeth working for the Top 4 Consulting firms working across many industry verticals and horizontals and many Fortune 500 companies. We have drawn for Media outlets, Marketing companies, Banks, Surgery machine companies, Brain injuries and medical research conferences and everything in between.
The answer is probably as expected it depends. It depends on our relationship, how the work will be used, where it will be used and what else we create with you in our bundle of services. Best thing is to request a quote or get on a call with us to discuss all your needs and we can get precise with a quote.
Visual note taking is the method of taking notes visually. Meaning a visual note-taker will listen to a speech, lesson, meeting, keynote, lecture, podcast and draw notes in real-time. They will organise, structure and create their thinking on the page using graphics, colour, shape, line, scale, contrast and connections. This means they aren’t just writing down what people are saying they are thinking and working their mind to take notes. Due to the process of visual note-taking they take more in, remember more and learn better and are able to come back to their notes and use them more effectively after the lesson.
The uses of visual note-taking are broad and varied. From taking your notes at school. To creating vision boards. To studying topics and summarising books. To capturing conference keynotes. To communicating ideas and key messages to organisations, clients or customers. Visual note-taking can be used anywhere you need to think about something and find a better way of organising and communicating it. Even if that is just to help yourself!
That is up to you. As a first port of call we produce digital copies of all the visual stories we capture on the days of your event and send them to you via Dropbox. You can then distribute them to your participants whenever and however you like. Sometimes we work with our clients to produce a specific graphic output pulling all the artwork into a single document that can be shared easily but is much better than sending a link to a Dropbox folder!
Yes! We can. With the superpowers we were given by the aliens of the planet zupora we are able to magically make any information more interesting, engaging and memorable… In all seriousness most things we can make easier to understand, enjoyable to read and more engaging…and if we can’t tell you. But there hasn’t been a topic or content yet that visual storytelling hasn’t enhanced in some way.
Let’s Get To Work!
Boost Attention, Engagement, And Retention At Your Next Event With Visual Storytelling
Win more people over and get them talking about your ideas long after your presentation ends.
Visual facilitation significantly enhances the effectiveness of workshops by making complex ideas more accessible and engaging. By translating discussions into visual formats, participants can better grasp concepts, leading to improved understanding and retention.
For instance, using diagrams, sketches, and visual notes during a workshop allows facilitators to highlight key points and connections between ideas. This method not only captures the essence of discussions but also encourages active participation, making the entire experience more interactive and memorable for attendees.
