Thanks for sharing this story with us, Julie!
You have a beautiful drawing style that really draws me in.
When you venture into video blogging, I hope you’ll share some of your performance art with us. I’m highly intrigued…

Hi Victoria,
Thank you! Videoblogging is the perfect format for this blog isn’t it?
Stay tuned…..
Julie, thank you for this post and the other one I’ve just read in response to the Harvard Business Review article, which I’ll look at soon. I’m curious about this type of work having spend a good few years as a facilitator and working in education, producing visual learning resources (see Tooncards link on my website). I am interested in both getting involved in graphic facilitation and in producing more resources for both business and educational contexts, so your story is helpful. I’ve just joined the Linkedin Graphic Facilitation Group and am already finding in useful.
One question, is there a move towards ‘certification’ in Graphic Facilitation? There may well be great training workshops out there, but how useful or necessary are they?
Thanks again and best wishes
Chris
Hi Chris, do you know about our professional society IFVP.org? Lots of good resources there too. And we have a great conference. It’s in Hawaii this year. Aloha!
So far there isn’t a certification but two of my colleagues started a course in graphic facilitation at the Fielding Institute. I think the trainings are worthwhile in terms of learning skills you need to have for yourself. While no one who has hired me has “required” that I be certified or trained, I don’t think I would be where I am today without having taken some training.
Thank you, Julie, I appreciate that. Great venue for a conference! I did have a quick look at the IFVP site but for some reason some pages didn’t load properly; I’ll look again in the next few days. Hawaii’s just a bit too expensive a trip for me right now.. pity, I fancy surfing in warm water before a day of brain-work!! I’ll keep investigating, best wishes,
Chris
