Co-creating Peaceful & Sustainable Futures

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.

If you are looking for an all-round communication expert to co-create a large, multi-lingual project, with several products, programs or courses, that you will disseminate in various countries and through a variety of media channels, I am interested in discussing with you what you are up to and to explore how we can co-create and collaborate. 

VISUAL EMPATHY IS THE ESSENTIAL SKILL IN MY WORK

VISUAL ATTUNEMENT

The creative process is like a silent empathic conversation between my client, speakers, authors, the audience and my markers and heart.

For as long as I am sketching, drawing, designing, or creating a graphic recording, I do not stop empathising with all the stake holders involved. I must attune myself in order to create a meaningful visual that considers everyone’s perspective, background and needs.

Just like a mediator mediates between different parties.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION EXPERT

Hi, I am Mireille van Bremen. I am a Dutch national and live in Slovenia since 2006, from where I collaborate on projects with people from all over the world.

I value transparency, 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 why I create, design and offer products and programs that help us develop and use our visual and emotional intelligence to promote these values. 

My studies at the Willem de Kooning Academy of Art, my years of experience in the fields of graphic design, illustration, graphic recording, visual facilitation training and Nonviolent Communication based coaching, training, and conflict resolution, form the basis of my work and collaborations.

ORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH ME

CLIENT EXPERIENCES

“I am grateful for the opportunity to cooperate with Mireille in helping us create a visual story about our organization’s strategy and a project where we engage young professionals who act as key agents of EU integration processes and public administration reform.

This collaborative process involved several meetings during which we first presented our understanding to Mireille. Our conversations involved extensive questioning and iterative feedback to ensure that the right and relevant information was shared. By thoroughly discussing and refining the information during these meetings, we ensured the final visuals accurately reflected our strategy and the project summary. This commitment to detail and clarity enhanced the quality of both visuals.

As content experts, we worked with Mireille, the visual expert, to co-create the best possible outcome. I was impressed by Mireille’s exceptional ability to listen (and hear) and translate complex ideas into clear, concise visuals that improve comprehension and tell an engaging and compelling story.“

“I am known as a ‘chatterbox’; I talk fast, I talk a lot, and am passionate about sharing as much knowledge as possible. Because it is ‘lots’ and ‘fast’, not everyone can keep up. I like visualising my examples too, but they remain mere words, and are never as powerful as images.

Therefore Mireille made a graphic recording of a 4-day summit that I organized. After every hour of training, Mireille published its visual representation.

This way, two things happened. Now participants could see in addition to hearing my words, suddenly some extra pennies dropped; often making them understand even better what the training had been about. Because Mireille made it visual, participants could not only understand the training better, they also remembered more.

It made an already powerful training even more valuable for my participants, during but also after our meeting.“

”All through the process of working with Mireille on several projects I have been impressed and delighted by what she brought in terms of skills at the level of content, very high reliability, ease of working together, creativity and empathic presence.”

I recommend Mireille, because she makes a very professional visual report of the webinar. The content of the webinar is clear at a glance and the results are made visual. The material is also of a very high level and you can use directly in your marketing. Mireille is also a very nice personality to work with. Besides she also advises you how to apply the content created and comes with surprising approaches and possibilities.

I can definitely say this helped me to easier get more clients and that it is an important part of the development of my company’s to make my materials visual as well. Now everything comes together and I can communicate much better and convince people of my message.”
