Skill Building

As more of us are expected to create presentations, diagrams, infographics, and participatory materials, understanding the basics of visual communication has become an essential workplace skill. This practical one-hour workshop introduces three foundational principles for creating materials that are clear, engaging, and inclusive. 

Participants explore how visual hierarchy supports comprehension, how color and imagery establish tone and influence participation, and how tools such as color-contrast checkers can improve readability and accessibility. Designed for consultants, facilitators, generalists, and other “non-designers” who regularly communicate through visuals.

Visual thinking is a way of seeing, organizing, and communicating ideas. In this interactive workshop, participants learn the core building blocks of visual communication, including design principles, simple drawing techniques, visual layouts, grouping methods, and reusable templates. 

Through guided practice, you'll gain the confidence and practical skills to make ideas more visible - with no artistic background required.

Creating an organizational culture that supports creativity and innovation calls on us to navigate urgency with intention. 

In this workshop, we will guide you through simple yet powerful team and leadership practices to create containers for supporting our best thinking.
 

Whether you’re leading a team, a classroom, or a community, you’ll leave with practical ways to strengthen attention and innovation in any space where people come together to think and make decisions.

Grounded in the Drexler-Sibbet Team Performance Model, this interactive workshop helps teams assess their current stage of development, uncover barriers to collaboration, and identify the next practices that will strengthen trust, alignment, commitment, and results. 

You'll leave with a practical roadmap for working together more effectively as a team.

A prototype is an experiment designed for learning. They are easy to implement, relevant, and give you the clues you need to pursue further action or change course. This workshop is perfect for:

• Moving into large-scale change through micro-interventions, you can learn from 
• Helping to reinforce a learning and growth mindset across a system or team

This workshop will help you and your team to:

• See and normalize diverse perspectives 
• Help individuals identify core beliefs or assumptions that may be causing stress to themselves or the system
