Storytelling - with impact and visuals

Strengthen your role as a communicator

Communication is best when it is clear and unambiguous to avoid misunderstandings and doubts. It should also be lively and interesting to keep your audience engaged. It's about form, content and the way you deliver your message - STORYTELLING.

This course will give you insight into how to build storytelling that emphasises your messages, whether it's a strategy, sales, a project plan or a speech.

STORYTELLING AND VISUAL EFFECTS COURSE

Create images in the recipient's mind with both WORDS and VISUALS so that your message is remembered - even long after your presentation.

It's not about being good at drawing, it's about presenting the message in a simple and more vivid way while still getting your message across clearly.

The tools are the same whether your presentation is aimed at one or many people, or whether it lasts 3 minutes or 3 hours. Whether it's prepared or spontaneous, whether it's a monologue or a dialogue presentation, the principles are the same.

And you don't need to be able to draw before the course!

How to sign up

Marie is really good - first I did a 1:1 session with her where she taught me a lot of tips and tricks. Then we took it further and made great videos so that the rest of the organisation across the country could benefit from her knowledge and skills. It turned out great, and Marie approaches the task very professionally - so a big recommendation from here!

Melissa Karina Døssing Christensen
Scrum Master, Danish Crown

I have no - absolutely no - experience in drawing or graphic facilitation, so the starting point was low. But boy did I learn a lot of good drawing techniques. It works great for capturing my meeting participants. In a world full of technology, online meetings and hours behind screens, it's really cool to work tactilely and creatively. Marie is a great teacher and she gets my highest recommendations. Through simple drawing techniques, presence and fun challenges, she provides a great introduction to graphic facilitation. Get going - it can only make you happy!

I've just completed a course in graphic facilitation with Marie - and had my very own little party. It's so crazy - afterwards - to look at the significant development from page 1 to page 17 (as many A4 sheets as I managed to draw over). Marie is an incredibly skilful communicator and teacher. So you might think you can't draw. But you'll scrap that belief once you've been on a course with Marie.

What you will learn

After the course you will be able to:

Building and telling the right story to capture and retain your audience visually
Getting the key messages across and communicating them clearly, concisely and credibly
Using simple lines to tell and visualise your story so you get everyone on board
Reaching your audience on multiple senses so they understand and remember what you say
Exude confidence and influence even in spontaneous presentations

During the course we will go through, among other things:

Visual storytelling that helps create a natural flow in your narrative that is engaging for your audience
The presentation model - with the right structure and intensity, you capture and retain your audience
Using simple lines to visualise your messages and make your presentation more vivid
Rhetorical formulas - your shortcut to emotion and reason, making it easier for recipients to understand and remember what you say

The course is intensive and taught on a "learning-by-doing" basis, which means you must be prepared to be active throughout the course. There will be an assignment between day 1 and day 2.

The course includes Lars Klingert's book "Burn through" and a starter pack with markers from Neuland:

Target audience

Who is the 'Storytelling and Visual Effects' course for?

The course is aimed at anyone who wants to improve their communication skills.

This is particularly relevant for:

Use less power point

Present or teach in a different way and keep the audience engaged

Create a common language

When everyone has the same picture of what is being talked about, there are fewer misunderstandings

Make complex messages understandable

Use simple drawings to convey an otherwise complex message so that everyone can better understand it.

Strengthen your role as a facilitator

Engage your participants in a new way when you hold meetings in your team, project team or department.

Create greater motivation

Using graphic facilitation gives you a better overview and structure, which creates greater engagement and motivation.

Visual messages are better remembered

We perceive messages 60,000x faster than text, and we remember visual messages far better than text alone.
