Visual Capture Workshop
In this 4 hour workshop, learn the what, why, and how of visual capture and gain techniques to create visual guides of what you hear, in real time.
Why Visual Capture?
Visuals are universal.
They help us communicate when words fail. But words + visuals? That’s (scientifically) the strongest way to document, communicate, and retain information.
With the average American consuming 11 hours of content a day, visual capture can make your content stand out and be remembered. Telling the visual story of your meeting, visual capture can lighten the cognitive load and engage your audience in the room, and beyond. It’s a powerful communication tool for future-focused doers.

Will you be able to travel to my office/school to teach this workshop? What supplies do we need?
Yes, we travel to you. In advance, we will discuss your space and how it can be best set it up for this workshop. Have rolling whiteboards? Great - we can use them.

Anywhere from 3 - 30 people. The constraint is making sure you have enough space for each person to practice.
