<p>Too much content and not enough connection. This is what could be said about many of our virtual and even in-person meetings. Connection is what we crave as humans. We can create connection through story, and story, through visuals. When you bring visuals into your notes and meetings, everyone's brain lights up. People lean in, become curious, and become more active participants.</p><p>In this hands-on masterclass with visual strategist Tim Hamons, you will learn how to transform written or verbal ideas and messages into compelling visual summaries.

Do I need to be able to draw?</strong></strong></p><p>Sketchnotes are about thinking &amp; Learning. What is most important are the ideas. So, no, you don't need to have skills in drawing. If you can draw a stick person, that's probably a good start.</p><p><strong><strong>2. Can I work on paper or on a tablet?</strong></strong></p><p>Either is fine depending on what is most comfortable to you. When Im learning or teaching I prefer the simplicity of paper and pen. Then, the skill can be easily transferred onto a tablet later and you can scale your work using the technology.</p><p><strong><strong>3. Will I need to show my work on screen?</strong></strong></p><p>It's up to you. We encourage people to do so, as this creates community. Seeing the work of others also helps to lower the level of self-consciousness around drawing and creates momentum.</p><p><strong><strong>4. How will I use these skills of visual sketchnoting after the workshop?</strong></strong></p><p>There are many ways. Participants use them primarily for personal or professional note-taking. it's a great way to create tangible artifacts from a learning event or from listening to your favorite Ted talks. Others have used it in professional meetings with teams and clients. As with any skill, the more you practice, the more your skills will develop and you will want to use this in a variety of ways.</p><p><strong><strong>5. What if I don't have professional markers available?</strong></strong></p><p>That's fine, any simple colored markers or pens will do. Do you have a student at home? You might want to borrow a few colors from their creative kit - students often learn sketchnoting and other creative note-taking skills at school. Invite them to join you! Kids are great teachers of creativity!</p><p><strong><strong>6. But really, isn't drawing your notes kind of childish?</strong></strong></p><p>Not at all. Sketchnoting is taught in many levels of education. We have taught these skills to senior leaders in banking, government, and many other sectors for over 12 years. One thing they do say is that this work helps them to see their ideas with new eyes. Perhaps these are the eyes of a child.</p>
