SKILLED LEADERSHIP

Maketa was personable and inviting and he was a great facilitator - leading but not directive. He kept us on track without squelching the creative process. Well done!

VISUAL TOOLS

The way that he captured everything that was said created a visual transcript that we kept referring back to over and over again. We were really able to see the progress we made.

WHAT IS GRAPHIC FACILITATION & GRAPHIC RECORDING?

GRAPHIC FACILITATION integrates visual mapping and graphic language with the art of leading groups. It is a creative tool for guiding groups with visual metaphors that encourage engagement at the appropriate level - from high level visioning to "on the ground" operational planning.

GRAPHIC RECORDING is the art of listening and capturing ideas and dialog using images, icons and visual mapping. Graphics support visual thinking and allow groups to find relevant patterns of understanding within the information that they generate and share.
