Develop your visual communication skills as a coach, trainer, facilitator, artist or team member with Crafting Connection
Why the Visual Thing?
What we really mean can never be 100% understood by another the way we intended it, (in spite of our striving for perfection). But there’s hope in this!
When we communicate visually (sketching, sign making etc.) as cavemen did way before they formed words, we cut down the amount of misinterpretation and get closer to that 100% clarity goal. But we also open up some potential and creativity within us all just by a simple, basic line or shape. What we convey with signs brings so much more than just words into communication.
This Can Actually Be for You Too!
Fortunately, absolutely everyone can draw signs more easily than they could write when they were 5 years old. It’s a direct, uncomplicated form of passing a message along wherever groups of people come together.
Come and train with us and gain some useful skills for communicating more simply and capturing more of the essence of what is being communicated and how that might be interpreted.
