DESCRIPTION

Visual language is very helpful when we want to connect with other people, share information, build ideas together, make decisions and create a shared vision. We've heard it before, "an image says more than a thousand words", and we are already pretty good at adding images and icons to our communications.

Visual Facilitation is a bit different, we don't prepare beautiful slides and we are not looking for perfection in our imagery. The result of a visually facilitated workshop, focus group or team meeting is not measured by the visual artifact that was created, which is usually far from perfect and often messy. The added value here is the inner work that has been done and the shared mental representation that the group has built. Drawing together, mapping ideas interactively, using images in conversations - these are tools that enable emotional engagement and deep understanding of each other's worlds.

So, how can we include visual collaboration in our meetings, workshops or groups? What should we have in mind, which tools and activities are suitable for which situation? In this interactive talk, Cornelia Brezing will share her experience of working visually with teams both in person and remotely, and present a framework that helps us navigate the challenges we meet when facilitating visually. Be prepared to participate and engage actively in visual activities and discussion. And don't worry: absolutely no previous drawing skills needed!

Meet the speaker

SDC_cornelia_brezing

Cornelia Brezing (Germany) started drawing at 2.5 years old and, unlike many of her peers, she has not stopped practicing until now. Although her teachers recommended to enroll in the University of Fine Arts, she decided to study psychology. People fascinated her even more than drawing. What motivates us? How do we learn? How do we take decisions?

During her studies in psychology at the universities of Vienna (Austria) and Saarland (Germany) the desire to develop her visual talent and creativity reappeared, and she enrolled at the University of Fine Arts, in Communication Design.

From that moment on, her professional and personal project has always been to find an enriching combination between the two disciplines: psychology and design. She started with the concepts of e-learning and usability and devoted herself to studying in depth the psychology of both personal and media communication. She finished her psychology degree with a work on the laws of perception in web design, and her design degree with an illustrated story about the perception of reality according to constructivism.

Since 2015 she has worked with many clientes in the corporate and public world offering training, facilitation and coaching in the areas of Visual Thinking, Creativity, Innovation and Agility. She certified as a Coach, Scrum Master and Agile Coach. This summer of 2021 she'll start a new adventure and will become part of the team of Innovation Coaches and NTT (Everis).
