Colorful Meetings

What if bringing color into your meetings and events got everyone on the same page and you all could easily follow the arc of the discussion?

We’ve all been there. Meetings off track of the agenda. Only a few people droning on. No one clear about who’s doing what afterwards.

In addition to lacking top notch facilitation, these challenges arise because participants don’t get to see what they’re talking about. Even is someone is taking notes, on easel paper or projecting them onto a screen, as soon as the page is turned or scrolled, the information is lost.

Instead, with large-scale, colorful picture notes, ColorBliss captures essential messages as they take place. These picture notes visually reinforce verbal messages. The resulting colorful mural enables you and your meeting mates to see previously unidentified connections and systems linkage, and improve your retention because you see visual tags and metaphors associated with the text. With a shared frame of reference, people can see what you mean and what they mean.

Called graphic recording, Color Bliss creates large scale murals or small scale picture notes of key points during your meetings and events.

For information on uses and benefits of graphic recording, click here.

With some estimates that two-thirds of us think in pictures, we create the graphic recordings that help you with questions of:

  • WHAT, such as kick-off sessions, visioning, change initiatives, etc.
  • WHERE, such as mapping locations, chronologies or responsibilities.
  • WHEN, such as scenarios, timelines, historical scans, future planning.
  • HOW, such as connections, hierarchy and relationships
  • WHO, such as roles and responsibilities

Consider bringing ColorBliss to your next gathering. We work with you at:

  • Conferences: keynote, plenary and breakout sessions
  • Inter-organizational and cross-jurisdictional meetings
  • Staff meetings/retreats
  • Strategic planning
  • Team building sessions
  • Training seminars
  • Workshops

Participants will thank you.
