Graphic skills workshops introduce process leaders to the powerful world of interactive graphics. Research has shown that up to 80% of the population are visual learners. These people synthesize and retain information best when it is presented visually. It is no accident that our culture is laden with expressions like “I see what you mean,” and “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Also revealing is the expression “in one ear and out the other.” Given the prevalence of this cultural wisdom, it is surprising that conventional educational environments continue to favor auditory learners (15-25% of the population)! Interactive graphics empower process leaders to present information in a manner that the majority of the population can easily understand and assimilate. As a result, the benefits of graphic skills workshops are immediately tangible and often profoundly influential.
Even people who are not primarily visual learners benefit from exposure to interactive graphics.

_Research on learning styles demonstrates that
all people, regardless of learning style, learn best when information is
presented in multiple formats. Process leaders with graphic
facilitation skills are at a distinct advantage because they naturally
present information in a manner that engages and supports a full range
of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile). Learn
more about the benefits of graphic facilitation.
