Visual Facilitation: A Neat Layer


I have long been fascinated by the emerging work of Visual Facilitators, or Graphical Facilitators, who add an amazing visual element onto any group process.


I was lucky enough to meet Julie Gieseke of MapTheMind.org. Julie attended my Group Coaching presentation at the ICF Conference last month, and created this amazing reprsentation of the major points I covered during my speech. Julie created this drawing while attending my speech. It's really neat to see it in this format.
Julie has got some amazing talent! Please do check her, and her work, out at her site http://www.mapthemind.org.
My fascination round the work of visual, or graphical facilitators, has been grounded in observations of the Wows and ahas participants of major conferences have made, looking at a visual map after a session.
What's been your experience with visual facilitation? How have you used it, or seen it used? How might this add another layer onto your groups experience?
Have a terrific week!
Warm regards,
Jennifer
