About graphic recording and Visual Consulting
PROCESS FAQS
How does graphic recording work?
Graphic recording is live drawing during a meeting, event, keynote presentation… etc. I don’t draw the events happening in the room like a courtroom artist would. Instead, I draw the conversation, what’s being said, as it unfolds in real-time. At the end, you get a visual summary map of what’s been said.
What is visual coaching?
Visual coaching is coaching + sketch noting. In this intimate one-on-one setting, I can use my ICF-certified coaching skills just like in a regular coaching session, all while mapping our conversation and streaming the image to you in real time. The visuals become a 3rd participant in our discussion mirroring your back to you.
What is the difference between graphic/visual facilitation and graphic recording?
With graphic facilitation, I focus on designing and managing the process rather than simply creating the graphics. Visuals take the form of templates drawn ahead of time and filled out with the group.
Will you come to graphic record my event in person?
If your event is happening in the southern interior of British Columbia, yes! Absolutely. (Pending availability). If you’re somewhere else in the world: very probably! Let’s chat about it.
Do these services work for virtual and hybrid meetings?
Yes! Through the magic of technology, you can bring the power of graphic recording and graphic facilitation into any meeting: in-person, hybrid or fully virtual.
Visual coaching is always offered as a virtual service.
Can you make me a graphic recording from a recording/report/document?
Yes! This is called strategic illustration. It’s when you already know what you want in the graphic and we work together to synthesize the information and I translate it into graphics.
I won’t turn a 100 page report or thesis into a graphic recording, however. For strategic illustration you’ll need to synthesize your message into an amount of text that we agree on ahead of time.
How much does ______ cost?
All visual consulting services are super custom, so that’s why prices aren’t listed. We’re happy to give you a ballpark idea or a formal estimate if you reach out with a description and scope for your project.
