collaboration and simplify communication. It can be especially helpful
among global colleagues who don't share a common first language. The Wall Street Journal just recently published an article about firms that are holding training sessions to teach employees the basics of
what's known as visual note taking and hiring graphic recorders,
consultants who sketch what is discussed at meetings and conferences,
cartoon-style, to keep employees engaged.

We worked together few weeks ago at the European Parliament and he did an excellent job not only at creating a beautiful visual, but he found a <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2575581/IMG_0835.jpg">metaphor </a> that will stay in people's hearts and minds, and become part of the collective memory of the organisation. This work goes way beyond just finding little symbols to make the notes more visual. Nick is a truly great practitioner to learn from.</div><div><br></div><div>So if you want to learn how to do strategic graphic recording by creating visuals that will make for a lasting memory in people and organisations and contribute to meetings resulting in meaningful actions, join us!</div><div><br></div><div><b>When?</b></div><div>Thursday 31st May & Friday 1st June in London </div><div><br></div><div><b>Registration</b>: <a data-ultimate-url="http://potp2012.fikket.com/event/graphic-facilitation-workshop--2" href="http://t.co/z1QUFJlJ" data-expanded-url="http://bit.ly/potpL" title="http://bit.ly/potpL" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="twitter-timeline-link">http://bit.ly/potpL</a> Few places left!</div></div><div><br></div><div>Any questions, feel free to contact me.</div><div><br></div><div>Warm greetings,</div><div>Simone</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
