Facilitate with Visuals
Coaching Program
Elevate engagement and be (fl)awesome.
Says ‘I can’t draw!’
Wants to draw but don’t know how to start?
Thinks, ‘my pictures must be perfect!’
It’s worth it. We remember more of what we see compared to what we hear and read. Visual facilitators create content that sticks because our brains were built for visual information:
👁 90% of the information processed by the brain is visual.
👁 It takes only 13 milliseconds for the human brain to process an image.
👁 We process images 60,000 times faster than text.
Being about to pick up the marker and draw is a critical skill for any expert who wants to be a (fl)awesome facilitator.
How would you rate your confidence as a visual facilitator?
✔ Communicate your content in pictures, fast.
