Working with Visual Language
March 4, 2004
a workshop offered by L.E.A.R.N. in partnership with Medicine Hat College

less text + more visual language = outstanding results!

In an environment where information overload is growing exponentially and the world is moving at a faster speed, "Visual Language" forges bridges between those who learn best from reading (about 22%) and those who learn best from seeing and doing (about 88%).

Come and spend a day with Rob and Laurie Benn, Visual Language Consultants, who will share with you some of their 'visual language applications' that combine key text messages with graphic techniques, icons and images to increase clarity and comprehension amongst groups like participants, stakeholders, staff and board members, as they work together.

Rob and Laurie will guide you through a refreshingly active day where you'll 'see' some history, learn (hands-on) some 'visual language', build a 'visual language map' of your own organization and find out about other visual language templates that could simplify so many aspects of your work as a Leader, Manager, CAO or Executive Director.

Key Benefits of Visual Language
