Visual Sketchnoting Essentials (VIA ZOOM)

Learn How to Capture Ideas Visually — Even If You “Can’t Draw”

Think more clearly. Listen more deeply. Remember what matters.
A live, hands-on Visual Sketchnoting Masterclass (via Zoom)

Most professionals take notes.
Very few actually think with them. This masterclass will show you how to use simple visuals to:

• Stay present in conversations
• Make sense of complex ideas in real time
• Turn messy information into clarity

No artistic talent required.

THE CHALLENGE

Do any of these sound familiar?

• You leave meetings knowing something important was said… but can’t quite recall it
• Your notes are pages of text you never look at again
• You struggle to stay fully present while listening
• You admire people who can “capture ideas visually” — and assume you’re not one of them

The truth is:
This isn’t about drawing. It’s about listening and thinking. And it’s learnable.

OUR PROMISE

In this live masterclass, you’ll learn how to:

• Capture ideas visually as people are speaking
• Structure information so it makes sense at a glance
• Remember more without writing more
• Turn listening into an active, engaging practice
• Build visual notes that help you think, not just record

This is not about pretty drawings.
It’s about clarity, presence, and meaning.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

You’ll walk away with:
✔ A simple visual “grammar” you can use immediately
✔ A repeatable framework for visual note-taking
✔ Core icons, layouts, and structures (no memorisation)
✔ Confidence to use visuals in meetings, talks, and learning
✔ A calmer, more focused way of listening.

Everything is taught step-by-step, live, and in real time.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This masterclass is ideal for you if you are a:

• Facilitator, coach, trainer, or educator
• A leader or manager who attends a lot of meetings
• A speaker or learner who wants better recall
• Knowledge worker dealing with complex information

Especially valuable if you want to:
👉 listen better
👉 think more clearly
👉 communicate ideas with confidence

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

This is not for you if:

• You’re looking for advanced illustration techniques
• You want polished artwork instead of thinking tools
• You’re not ready to pick up a pen and experiment ( I think everyone is ready)

Simple beats perfect here.

HOW THIS MASTERCLASS WORKS

• Live via Zoom (interactive, not a lecture)
• Practical demonstrations + guided practice
• You draw along with me
• Questions welcomed throughout
• Replay provided if you can’t attend live

This is a small-group session to allow for interaction and clarity.

🤔 FAQs

❓ Do I need to know how to draw?

No.
If you can draw a circle, a line, and a stick figure — you’re ready.

This masterclass focuses on clarity and structure, not artistic skill.

❓ Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes — it’s designed specifically for beginners.

No prior experience with sketchnoting or visual thinking is required.

❓ Is this about making “pretty” drawings?

No.

This is about:

• thinking clearly
• listening deeply
• capturing meaning

If your notes are clear and useful, they’re doing their job.

❓ What materials do I need?

Very simple:

• Paper (any kind)
• A pen or marker
• Optional: coloured pens if you enjoy them

That’s it.

❓ Will there be interaction, or is it just a lecture?

This is interactive and hands-on.

You’ll be guided through live demonstrations and invited to practice along the way. Questions are welcome throughout.

❓ What if I can’t attend live?

No problem.

All participants will receive access to the session replay.

❓ How is this different from the Visual Facilitation Lab (VFL)?

This masterclass is a standalone, introductory experience.

It focuses on:

• the essentials of visual sketchnoting
• personal note-taking and sense-making

The Visual Facilitation Lab goes much deeper into facilitation, group work, and applied practice.

❓ How long is the session?

2 hours

The session is designed to be focused, practical, and energising.

❓ Who is facilitating this session?

The session is facilitated by Tim Hamons, founder of Art of Awakening, with over 8 years of experience training professionals across Asia in visual thinking, facilitation, and creative listening.

❓ Is this worth it if I already take good notes?

If you want your notes to:

• help you think, not just record
• improve how you listen
• be something you actually revisit

Then yes — this will upgrade how you work with information.

❓ How many participants will there be?

This is intentionally kept small to allow for interaction, clarity, and a better learning experience.
