Flipcharts for the artistically challenged

You don’t need to be an artist to create visually appealing flip charts. It’s simply a matter of using lines and shapes cleverly. This 1-day workshop will give you the foundation skills to create the kinds of flipcharts that you, and your participants, won’t want to throw away!

Be the kind of teacher, trainer, facilitator and presenter that stands out from the crowd and creates the kinds of sessions where the content really "sings" for your participants.

Donna $600 (or $500 if you get in early) will get you an action packed, funfilled day as well as a great flipcharting kit with all the tools you need to make your flipcharts POP!

Group Thinking This 1 Day Workshop is strictly limited to only 15 places allowing for individual coaching, and covers:

Your handwriting – aiming for legibility and speed

Headings & Banners that stand out
Simple Icons and Images that connect
Borders and Templates that you can use over and over again to great effect

Included in your enrolment is our Flipchart Toolkit:

A workbook stacked with ideas and templates that you can use over and over again.
A Visual Vocabulary Dictionary business concepts
A set of Mr Sketch Markers (smelly.....yummmmmm!)
A visual diary for all your "a-ha" moments

This day will run from 9am to 5pm with breaks for tea and coffee, and lunch. The program will take place at Melbourne CBD Venue.

Agility –v- Resilience

I have just come back from a large summit up in Ho Chi Minh city where the word “resilience” was used a lot.

It reminded me that this is a word I hear about a lot in organisations, and amongst trainers.

When I hear the word “resilient” I immediately think of a toy I had when I was a kid. It was one of those blow up clowns, weighted on the bottom, so that when you knocked it over, it would bounce straight back to it’s original position. To me, that’s what resilience is, bouncing back.

When it comes to being a trainer, you need a certain level of resilience, sure. However I think the real trick is agility.

For me, agility is about bouncing back to a different position, to avoid being knocked down again. It would be the blow up clown with a bit of AI artificial intelligence that when it bounces back, it is to a different position every time. It learns where the “blows” are coming from and responds accordingly.

To do this, trainers need to have lots of tools and techniques so that they can move and work and find the mark with their participants.

The Law of Requisite Variety is sometimes known as Ashby's Law after William Ashby is:

"the variety in the control system must be equal to or larger than the variety of the perturbations in order to achieve control"

This simply means that a flexible system with many options is better able to cope with change.

Being an “agile trainer” requires consideration of the following:

1. If you are stuck, try something…ANYTHING! … and pay attention to the feedback you are getting.
2. If that doesn’t work, try something else….and pay attention to the feedback you are getting.
3. There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback
