Have you noticed that what you say and mean, is not always what people understand?
Or even worse, they may even attribute a different meaning to your words, leading to misunderstandings, misinterpretation, confusion, distance and conflict.

If instead you were hoping that the impact of your communication would lead to connection, engagement, focus, peace and alignment, then you depend on its clarity and effectiveness.

Visual communication helps to clarify and makes visible what you like people to see and understand.
Visual facilitation helps to guide dialogue and navigate complexity and unknown terrain.
Both of them contributing to the (co-)creation of an aligned and peaceful path forward within relationships, community, business, teams, departments and organizations.

I value transparency, equality, fairness, peace and wellbeing, and I believe peaceful relationships are the result of how capable we are in listening and valuing each other’s contribution in co-creating the future. This is why I create, design and offer products and programs that help us develop and use our visual and emotional intelligence to promote these values. 

The foundation of my work is formed by two studies at the Willem de Kooning Academy of Art in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and years of experience in the fields of graphic design, illustration, graphic recording, visual facilitation training and Nonviolent Communication based coaching, training, and conflict resolution.

I work as a bridge between complex ideas and audiences, using visual tools to clarify, present, and interpret information. Through graphic recording of discussions and visual facilitation of processes, I support getting all stakeholders to speak one voice, making it possible to create a joint vision of the future that all stakeholders are committed to.

VISUAL FACILITATION TRAINER

Hire me as the visual facilitation trainer to train your staff in visual facilitation techniques and visual language to visually communicate with the audience. The practical, hands-on skills they learn to design flipcharts, learning maps and visual tools help expand the possibilities to harvest, understand, be seen and interact, which increases the value of the meeting, training, workshop and coaching sessions.
