Are you a visual practitioner?

Are you trained as a graphic recorder, visual facilitator, consultant or trainer? Do you love sketchnoting and visual storytelling? In other words, do you use visual thinking in your daily work, for yourself or to help others?

You would like to develop your posture and your practice?

But there is one problem…

Today there are many trainings in visual thinking, plenty of inspiring networks for visual practitioners, fascinating books on the topic, and so on.

But we are still missing opportunities to develop and enrich our professional practice in a more structured way.

Many visual practitioners (graphic recorders, scribes, visual facilitators, visual consultants, sketchnoters…) can easily feel lost or stuck in front of their challenges.

You don’t have to stay alone!

What is the cycle “Draw to grow”?

  • A program with 6 sessions of professional codevelopment, 1 launching session and 1 closing session, all spread over the course of 8 months.
  • One 2-hour session per month.
  • A group of 5-6 visual practitioners. Once it is created, the group remains the same during the whole program.
  • All sessions happen online on ZOOM.

Testimonials

I chose to follow this program so that I could overcome my fear of showing myself as a visual facilitator. Thanks to this program I posted my first drawings online, and since then I have not stopped!

I loved how Mathilde treated us, with kindness, even in setting the frame: we were never rushed. Being a small group also brings some intimacy, which was good!

I recommend this cycle to those who would like to take a step back, and experience the power of listening around their doubts and concerns in visual facilitation.


 

I wanted to be part of a professional community and learn from other practitioners. Not only did I find this community, but I also enjoyed the quality of our discussions, the facilitator’s kindness, and the group.

Je repars avec une confiance pour expérimenter boostée, et avec des camarades de jeu 🙂

I recommend this program to visual practitioners who are getting started in their business, for them to progress in their practice through fun and in-depth discussions.


 

This co-development cycle for visual practitioners offers a space for constructive discussion, in which we step back to have another perspective on our daily concerns.

What I enjoyed the most was the process, with specific times to listen to the client, and specific times to share our experience or ask questions. It was incredible to feel deeply listened to, to learn how to listen and how to ask good, open questions.


 

What about me?

Je suis Mathilde Riou et je suis passionnée par le dessin comme moyen de déclencher des prises de conscience, de rendre visible ce qui ne l’est pas, et d’amener les individus et les groupes à se dépasser.

De formation ingénieure urbaniste, j’ai travaillé plusieurs années dans le domaine de l’aménagement participatif des territoires. Aujourd’hui je suis facilitatrice de codéveloppement et facilitatrice graphique, et je vis au Danemark. J’ai été formée à la facilitation de co-développement professionnel par Codév&Co (Anne Wormser et Elodie Vialle) à Lyon.

Do you have questions?

It is a group approach to help professionals develop their practice and cope with their daily situations, through the sharing of experiences and good practices with others. Each person in the group takes the role of "client" or "consultant" in a 6-step consultation process led by a facilitator. It creates a nurturing space that can foster trust, empathy, new ideas and action.  

Only the first date is defined in advance, the following ones will be decided by the participants themselves at the end of each session (by checking agendas until we find a time slot that suits everyone). 

There is no obligation. It is a powerful supportive space where discussions can continue between co-development sessions. I saw a lot of creativity and collaboration unfold among the participants thanks to such a space!

I launch several cycles throughout the year. You can subscribe to the waiting list if you wish to be informed of the upcoming dates.

The co-development group enables you to deeply connect with other professionals, beyond your initial network. It opens up a space of trust where people create strong bonds that last long after the cycle has finished.  

Yes! We will use visual exercises during inclusion and at closure, and also at different stages of the co-development process. The intention will always be to use visuals to help the client move forward on his situation, without depriving him of his subject. 

Le cycle est pour celles et ceux qui utilisent les outils de la pensée visuelle dans un cadre professionnel (sketchnotes, graphic recording, animation de réunions par le visuel, illustration, etc.), ou bien qui ont le projet de développer cet aspect dans leur métier. 

Oui ! La magie du codéveloppement, c’est que chacun a quelque chose à apprendre, et quelque chose à offrir (quel que soit son niveau). Car que l’on soit débutant ou expérimenté, on possède chacun des talents et compétences qui dépassent notre expertise professionnelle. Dès lors qu’elles sont combinées, ces expériences font émerger des solutions nouvelles et créer des dynamiques qui vont bien plus loin que lorsque l’on réfléchit seul.

Co-development is nothing like a training in visual thinking, graphic recording or visual facilitation. It is for visual practitioners of all levels who wish to improve their posture and professional practice through structured interaction with peers.
