    Course overview

    The ‘Visual Thinking Skills for Coaching’ training course is designed to help you develop your drawing and listening skills, enabling you to capture your coaching clients thinking in the form of sketches, diagrams and pictures. 

    The images you learn to create will help you explore ideas, capture moments of realisation and help your coaching clients SEE their past, present and future visually.




    Research has shown that when people are able to see their big ideas, they increase their chances of achieving them by
    42%

    This course is ideal for anyone involved in coaching – whether running your own coaching practice or providing coaching within an organisation.

    Don’t worry if you think you can’t draw! Everyone has the ability to create meaningful images – this isn’t about being the next Leonardo Da Vinci! Helping you create simple drawings that convey meaning and drive discussion is the aim of this course.

    John’s visual skills coaching is not only extremely valuable but also hugely enjoyable. My session had been carefully planned to build on my abilities and with a clear direction of the goals I had said I wanted to achieve. Having this attention from someone so experienced enabled me to move through my learning quickly and find answers to my many questions. A very inspiring day!

  • #Engage people, increase #understanding and improve #communication by embedding #visualthinking into the way your #organisation works

    If a picture speaks a thousand words, just imagine how enabling your people to think visually can help improve communication and creativity in your organisation!

    Helping your people to communicate more effectively and share ideas more easily can be a key method of increasing creativity and productivity in your organisation. Put simply, the quicker your people can generate great ideas and share them with others, the quicker these ideas can be turned into (profitable) reality.

    Developing your people’s visual thinking skills…

    Providing your people with the skills to enable them to share their thinking visually using drawings and sketches can supercharge this ability in your organisation. A single picture could replace a multi-page report or a bullet-pointed multi-page slide show. 10 minutes around a whiteboard could develop a new product idea or find a way to save time in your production process.

    Interflora 9th Nov 17

    Our Scribble Labs provide you with options for developing these visual thinking skills. We offer a range of workshops ranging from simply developing drawings skills through to helping people facilitate meetings using visual approaches.

    Visual thinking support when your organisation needs it…

    In addition to developing the visual thinking skills of your people, it can be helpful to call in additional visual thinking support to facilitate creative collaboration and visualisation of more complex ideas. This leaves your people free to get involved in the ideation and productive discussions that visually facilitated meetings can generate.

    Header Nov 2017 v2

    Crackerjack offers visual collaboration support for meetings along with a number of approaches to visualising ideas.

    Embedding visual thinking into your organisation…

    Developing the visual thinking skills of your people alongside calling in visual thinking support when you need it will allow visual thinking approaches to begin to permeate your organisation. The more people experience the visual way of working, the more they will engage with it and begin to see it as ‘the way we share ideas around here’.

    Crackerjack can work with you to embed visual thinking into your organisation. In addition to the approaches detailed above, we can also help to embed visual approaches into areas such as learning and development interventions and induction programmes.

    To find our more about how Crackerjack can help you embed visual thinking into your organisation, please CONTACT US.

    In addition, please take a look at our 1 minute guide below to find the right visual thinking approach for your needs and use the menu above to explore the different visual thinking approaches available from Crackerjack.

  • Crackerjack Visual Thinking to develop the #visualthinking skills of the #Interflora senior leadership team

    I’m pleased to share with you that Crackerjack Visual Thinking will be working with the Interflora senior leadership team (SLT) in November to help them develop their visual thinking skill set.

    HoF 25th May 2016 Scribble Lab Pic 1 SMALL

    We’ll be focussing on helping them develop both confidence and technique in drawing and also capturing information visually in a live environment.

    The goal will be to enable the SLT to begin using these approaches in their own meetings to drive better conversations and enable ideas to be explored and captured more effectively.

    If you and your colleagues would also benefit from developing these visual thinking skills, please do CONTACT US.
