TESTIMONIALS
I brought Simon in to a client site to run a 3-hour workshop for 25 Business Improvement folk on visual facilitation (How-to-do). He was awesome. Super easy to work with, and excellent facilitation of the workshop itself. Weeks later the new skills are still being used and the team is communicating much more effectively with their stakeholders. Highly recommend!

I invited Simon to facilitate one of our MBA in Entrepreneurship (MBAe) masterclasses at the UTS Business School on the topic of Visual Communications, which he delivered with great energy and skill. Simon challenged attendees to think differently and develop more confidence in their visual expression. It was noticeable how in the following weeks students were more likely to use simple graphics and sketches in their communication. I look forward to working with him again on future classes.
Jochen Schweitzer, Director MBA Entrepreneurship, University of Technology Sydney
Simon and his team designed and delivered workshops and visual facilitation activities for the entire leadership team (200 or so) to explore the vision for the new city of Canterbury Bankstown. The outcome was a visual representation of our new organisation, what we do and how we deliver services to our community which will be essential to driving our organisation forward. Simon was brilliant. Well done!
Janelle Davidson, Senior Project Officer Organisational Development at Bankstown City Council
I have recently been a participant in Simon's Whiteboard Ninja course. What can I say! Simon has provided me with the tools to help me communicate more effectively with my clients, but also the confidence to try and express what is in my head on paper without the fear of my artistic limitations being exposed. The classes have been fabulously facilitated and the collaboration with other participants in a virtual environment has been awesome. I would highly recommend Simon to help unleash your potential and your inner visual story teller.

Here is someone who knows how to distill years of experience in creativity into bite-size nuggets of gold. Simon’s ‘Whiteboard Ninja’ training was one of my highlights in this Covid confinement chaos. The course is playful, highly interactive and both practice and application-focused. The final session with a series of scenarios as prompts for fast drawings is brilliant! A great skill and confidence-builder for facilitators/presenters/leaders who understand that a picture tells a thousand words.
