What people say about our training
Our Mission
is to help you get the benefits of working visually. We help you share ideas, connect with others, change thinking into doing and clarify the complex, by helping you draw more.
Why work visually?
There are lots of proven reasons why your business will benefit from working visually. Better engagement, effective problem solving, and increased alignment to name a few. Here’s some science.
But I can't draw...
Working visually is not about art. It’s about working, thinking and connecting differently. Anyone can do it. Don’t worry if you can’t draw at all – we teach you enough to make an impact.

What are the business benefits of working visually?
we are visual
We take in massive amounts of information in the blink of an eye. Most of our sensory receptors are in our eyes, so 90% of data is communicated to us visually. That’s why most sighted people like visuals.
it's quicker
We live in a fast world. We use symbols when communication is critical, urgent, or both. It takes just 250 milliseconds to process and understand a symbol. If you want to get your message across faster, use an image.
it's more engaging
Working visually switches on all 4 brain lobes. So your colleagues and customers are more engaged when they see visual communications. If you want your audience to connect with your message, work visually.
it's more inclusive
As the size of your audience increases in size and diversity, so does their language, learning and literacy needs. Using images reduces barriers and ensures more people are included in your message.
it's stickier
You remember visual information better and also for longer. Recent research has shown a significant recall advantage for words that were drawn instead of written. If you want your message to stick, draw it.
it's the future
You need to be more collaborative, creative and innovative to stand out from the crowd. We know from working with hundreds of clients that working visually gives you a key business advantage. Now. And for the future.
