Making live pictures of your meeting, workshop, or seminar. And sharing them with your delegates after. Can you picture it?
Imagine a fairly unobtrusive artistic looking fellow sitting at the side of a venue. Before him is an easel. On the easel is a computer. And this fellow's busy slashing away at the screen with a stylus. He's painting.
Attached to this computer is a video projector. Screening his paintings live against a screen for delegates and facilitator to see, remark upon, use.
That chap is Roy Blumenthal, Visual Facilitator. And he's creating powerful interpretations of the proceedings, ensuring that delegates go home with powerfully anchored learning.
Can you picture it?
Roy can.

Roy Blumenthal sits in meetings, workshops and seminars, and makes pictorial interpretations of the ideas flowing through the room. He creates his pictures live, in real time, and projects his work on the wall. Pics are saved and distributed to delegates.
Roy can also be seen in action on television every week. He's the resident Visual Facilitator on the CNBC AFRICA business magazine show, Kaleidoscope. (See this clip on YouTube featuring Roy being interviewed by Mandalkazi Mpahlwa.)
Here's what Stef du Plessis, international public speaker, says about Roy Blumenthal's visual facilitation:
During the past 15 years I have been fortunate to speak at some of the world's most prestigious conventions, where I often get to experience other talent -- both in the form of fellow speakers, as well as those who support client conventions in any of a myriad of ways.
When it comes to making the most of delegate experience, Roy Blumenthal is right up there with the very best that I have ever seen.
His offering is, in my view, an essential part of any event where delegate retention of the message is important. His ability to grasp the core message of any speaker, and to then do a real-time translation into a dynamic and visually pleasing key-point summary -- for immediate distribution -- is remarkable.
Hire this man if you are serious about your delegates walking away with real take-home value.
Roy Blumenthal is a highly experienced facilitator with a difference... He uses his Tablet PC as a box of tricks to literally draw information out of any seminar, meeting, or brainstorm.
That’s because Roy is an illustrator who makes graphic recordings of events, helping participants to literally see their collective wisdom!
He brings a paintbox full of talents to the party.
He’s a trained crisis counsellor.
An ex-advertising copywriter at Hunt Lascaris FMC.
A standup poet and comic.
He facilitates brainstorms.
Teaches creativity seminars.
Teaches blogging seminars.
Writes and directs industrial and corporate theatre.
And he spends hundreds of hours a year painting.
All of Roy’s paintings are done digitally, at high resolution. Which means he can make A4 handouts on the spot. The paintings can also be printed out huge for your boardroom. And they can be projected in the room while he works.
One thing’s certain... When Roy makes a pictorial record of your event, everyone will be able to recall the key points vividly. That’s because visual aids act as anchors, helping retention and understanding of key themes and ideas.
John Tschohl, American Customer Service consultant says:
Roy, I like your drawings. You are very creative and really capture the flow of the seminar.
Ben Zander, co-author of THE ART OF POSSIBILITY, Conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, and motivational speaker says:
I've been so busy (and rude) that i haven't written to acknowledge your beautiful drawing/painting. It captured the spirit (and quite a lot of the content) of the event and I will treasure it. In fact, it is on my website.
Thanks so much for pouring your heart (and hand) into The Art of Possibility. What a blast we had that day!
Warmest greetings
'till the next time we meet in SA,
Ben
