Drawing for Business Communication

Teacher

LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION

You don’t need to be Picasso or very gifted to speak and use this language. With the help of a few exercises you will quickly manage to translate complex ideas into simple to understand images and sketches.

MAKE YOUR MEETINGS MORE EFFECTIVE AND INSPIRING

Learn the basic principles of effective meetings and use the templates presented in the course to make any meeting a fun and creative experience. Meetings don’t have to be boring and uninspiring. It is in our power to change that!

ADD CREATIVITY AND A BIT OF PIZZAZZ TO YOUR PRESENTATIONS

Masterfully communicate data, complex ideas and business plans with your marker and flipchart and make them stick into your audience’s mind. We have all seen so many flashy PowerPoint presentations that we forget them instantly, but a drawn image stay with us a lot longer.

TAKE YOUR TRAINING PARTICIPANTS ON A VISUAL LEARNING JOURNEY

With the help of our templates, your training sessions will feel like a genuinely fresh learning journey. Drawings really spark our imagination and make our learning experience more insightful and inspiring. Use this super-power to your advantage!

We all spend a lot of time in boring meetings and presentations that fail to captivate our attention. None of us should have to go through something like this, especially if you are the one in charge of that meeting or presentation

My name is Alex Glod. I’m a senior trainer, online instructor and 3-times TEDx speaker. I’ve also struggled at the beginning of my career with keeping people engaged during my meetings and trainings. Luckily I found the solution in the most unexpected, yet obvious places – the ancient art of drawing and that immediately made my events stand out.

By applying drawing to our business communication we engage people’s imagination, sparkle their creativity and offer a memorable experience.

REVIEWS FROM OUR UDEMY STUDENTS

I am definitely not someone you would label as an artist, but I was able to do the drawing in this course. The instructor is excellent, and his pace is perfect. This course felt like it was over so soon because the instructor made it a joy to learn.
– Troy Teague
This course is really put together well and Alex is extremely responsive and helpful. The unexpected benefit is that using drawing to keep your audience engaged also forces you to use concepts that are concise, which makes your overall presentation much less bloated with useless information. I highly recommend this course to anyone that needs to get ideas across to others.
– Michael Quinn
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found it extremely valuable for my role at work, as well as for my personal enjoyment and creative outlet. Thank you Alex.
– Tayla Fernanda Montanari
