Turn your flip chart into a powerful platform.

You can present very well. You can draw too. But both at the same time? That is often where the problem lies.

Because how do you keep in touch with your audience while you’re drawing something on the flip? How do you ensure that your drawing supports your story instead of interrupting it? And how do you draw quickly and clearly, without breaking out in a sweat?

That is exactly what you will learn during this training.

What will you experience and learn?

Presenting and drawing. Live. Real. On paper. For the group.

Together with business illustrator Corine Smitt, I will introduce you to the art of flipchart speaking.

How to build your story with images and words.

How to draw live without losing your audience.

Which sign forms work best for explanation or persuasion.

How to replace or enhance your PowerPoint presentation with drawing.

How to use your drawing materials effectively (and what not to do).

How to stand in front of a group with more confidence, even when your pen starts to sweat.

Who is this training for?

For those who notice:

“My presentations deserve an upgrade.”

“I like being on stage, but drawing is still a bit nerve-wracking.”

“I have an idea, but I don’t know how to draw it.”

“Every time I walk to the flip I feel those nerves again.”

“I’m afraid my drawings don’t match my story.”

For trainers, speakers and managers who want to take their presentations to the next level.

Not with animations or PowerPoints, but simply: with a pen and a sheet of paper.

Whether you are in front of a class, team or audience, this is for everyone who wants to present visually and personally.

What's in it for you?

More impact during your story.

Confidence when speaking and drawing in front of a group.

A visual presentation design of your own.

Handy templates and drawing tricks.

Feedback and tips from two experienced trainers.

Presentations that captivate. From start to finish.

And… a good dose of fun (because drawing and presenting are fun).

The variety during the two-day training sparked rapid growth. And even though the stage already felt familiar to me, with every step I felt more empowered — as if Mark kept placing a new step for me to climb. As a trainer, he stands right beside you: motivating, inspiring, and fully present for every participant.

I’m enjoying drawing again after taking the ‘Business Drawing’ course with Corine. In an accessible and enjoyable way, you step outside your comfort zone and start drawing. I discovered that I can do more than I thought. You get started yourself, create an image bank, stimulate your imagination and it can be applied immediately. I now structure my flipcharts differently during training sessions, include illustrations, and contribute more to the learning outcome. Highly recommended! Thank you Corine!

Mark has the unique gift of improving your public speaking skills in record time. His approach is practical, with plenty of room to practice in a safe setting. With just small tweaks to your story, he shows the difference instantly. The training immediately made me a better storyteller, and now I approach every speaking opportunity with confidence.

Richard de Veer – Director Corporate Solutions, Just Eat

I took the Business Drawing training with Corine and I thought it was a wonderful day! I have two left hands, but somehow she managed to straighten them. She turned on my head, heart and hands throughout the day.

My head by filling it with new ideas, my heart by fueling my enthusiasm for working with self-made visuals and my hands by giving me practical tips and tricks about drawing (abstract) concepts. Highly recommended!

Natasja van Loenen - Trainer

The most important lesson? It all comes down to your Message in a Bottle. Mine: Mark is a damn good trainer. He listens, inspires, and fills you with confidence. I was nervous, but I’m so glad I didn’t turn back. Two days of pure growth and enjoyment. Want to become a better speaker or presenter? Call Mark.

What Corine does is so much more than just drawing. She increases the impact of a presentation, makes complex content understandable and gives the whole a visual experience that lingers. Her enthusiasm is infectious, her approach is professional and down-to-earth. This makes the collaboration not only pleasant, but also particularly effective.

About Corine & Mark

Mark took a drawing course with Corine and was an instant fan. Corine wanted to become better at presenting. Together they went on a ‘colleague for a day’ trip. That one day got a bit out of hand. A number of great plans and collaborations immediately emerged. This training is the first. To be continued!

Corine has been working with and for trainers since 2006. In 2015 she heard about the existence of Business Drawing and literally had stars in her eyes. Since then, not a day goes by that she doesn’t share her enthusiasm for visualization. Want to know more about Corine? Click here.

Mark traded stadiums for a new playing field: the stage. Always dressed in blue, he helps people find and tell their story. His mission? Make people feel that presenting is not something to dread, but something that gives you energy. Read more about Mark here.
