“What helped me the most by attending Mireille’s training is how you can get visual insight into your target group you want to work with and how to overcome the obstacles in my mind to start drawing. I now enjoy my newly developed skills very much. Other than that, this training is designed very well. Mireille could not have put more into these two days. I don’t know what could be improved. In any case, I am still grateful to Mireille every day.”
Right after the in presence training, Gabriëlle created a flipchart series for her the Empathic Communication training she offered at work.

Hi, I am Mireille van Bremen!
◉ I am a Dutch national with Asian roots and live in Slovenia since 2006. I am a mom and co-parent of a teenage son who lives with me every other week.
◉ Besides many creative activities, I love improvised plant-based cooking with home grown veggies. I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, spending time with friends, doing daily self-connection practices or simply spend time in silent solitude.
◉ Some fun facts 😊 I have a strong need for visual harmony and am a color freak. I paint as a meditation practice. Depending on the culture or religion, my name Mireille means ‘to admire’, ‘peace’ and ‘miracle’.
◉ To experience more autonomy and flexibility in my work and private life, I switched from working as a design department leader to working more location independent as a visual mediator, visual empathy trainer & coach, and graphic recorder.
◉ Since 2015 I create, design, build and facilitate courses in my online academy and offer in presence training in various countries. All my courses, webinars, training video’s and workshops are visually supported with a combination of flipcharts, visual tools and digital presentations. This is simply how I communicate … I often hear that is so helpful, clarifying and fun. Would you like to experience that too?

”Mireille’s contributions to me started when I first contacted her and she took the time to listen to my needs. She helped me feel completely welcome to follow her Visual Facilitation training (bypassing the belief that I didn’t have enough skills). In just 5 online sessions, she taught me how I can enhance my work as a trainer by sharing information, demonstrating her work, and giving highly interactive feedback. Recently, one of my workshop participants (who knew me from a previous course) said, “Your new visuals bring the information across with much more clarity,” which helps me know Mireille’s training was a very effective investment.”

Mireille is not only a great expert in visual communication, but is also excellent in transferring her knowledge to the participants of her workshops.
The special value of her workshop Clear & Impactful Flipchart Presentations is is that one gets a lot of useful tips as well as learns the basic principles of visual communication that are helpful not only in preparing flipcharts but also other elements such as powerpoint presentations, advertisements, posters, etc. It is amazing to see how, by following her tips, a flipchart comes to life in a completely different way.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have no visual skills or talents, does it make sense to sign up?
For this workshop basic visual facilitation and visual empathy skills are required as the program does not cover them. This means you have followed at least one training with me or another trainer, in person or online.
Is participating in this workshop helpful if I already create flicpharts?
Totally! This workshop is about co-creation, testing and receiving feedback from other trainers and leaders who understand Nonviolent Communication and who have experience with visual facilitation. These three days will enrich your toolbox, strengthen your skills and invigorate your creativity.
However, if you have any doubts, then please schedule a free call with me to present some work and discuss to find out if this program is an effective strategy for meeting your current learning needs in regards to designing your training presentation material.

“I highly recommend Mireille for her teaching and coaching skills in visual facilitation. In the live training she helped me realize that there is something like: a visual language! And I discovered, that I wasn’t aware of it, allthough I used some illustrations in my trainings. In a one-on-one coaching session afterwards, she helped me see and understand more of it by giving me helpfull feedback to the visuals, (flyers and flipcharts) that I had made after the training. I experience her as not only very good in visuals, but also very empathic and clear in her communication.”

It’s been nine months since I have took the “Design Your Own Flipchart Series” Online Course, and now I can see fully its long-term benefits.
This course created a very big shift in my abilities and trust to express my ideas through drawing flipcharts that would support both me and the participants. I went from writing horribly on a flipchart to having the ability to create something clear, simple, structured and at the same time authentic. And I get lots of positive feedback from my participants.
I want to emphasize that I don’t know to draw at all, and this is not a requirement in order to create a clear and helpful flipchart. [This being said, I would like to improve my drawing abilities]
The structure of the course and the information helped me in staying engaged and learning continuously. Not too much info, not too little, and very many practical exercises.
I particularly enjoyed Mireille as a trainer, especially the personalised feedback and attention that we all got from her. I had the perception that she is really interested in supporting us in custom ways, depending on what we want to accomplish and what we want to learn.
I higly recommend her to anyone who wants to use flipcharts or any other visual support as a way of improving their trainings!
