Facilitation

Reinventing Meetings for a Virtual Workplace

With organizations transitioning to working remotely in a Covid-19 transition period, the experience of sitting in front of a screen in endless virtual meetings, while coping with the distractions of working in a home environment, is tough. With over 15 years of delivering and designing virtual trainings, we can help you design Conversations that Count ™ into your organization’s meeting experience.

Graphic Recording

Ensure everyone is on the same page!

With so many organizations now working virtually, it’s more critical than ever to get – and KEEP – the attention of your participants. We create visual artifacts that capture the essential points of the discussion in real-time, either digitally or in-person. These graphic recordings are invaluable tools to foster shared understanding, support communication, alignment, and execution. Keep the focus of your team before they click away and move on to the next virtual meeting!

Workshops & Training

Building resilience and capacity for a changing future

Teams at all levels need to develop resilience, creativity, communication and interpersonal skills to manage change successfully – and learning how to work visually can help you do just that! Whether it’s an internal workshop for a team of 10 participants or delivering a keynote address on “Tapping into the Power of Your Visual Mind” for an audience of hundreds, Brilliance Mastery delivers engaging, experiential learning that will get you results and navigate change.

Coaching

Navigate Change on Your Own Terms

It’s a crazy, changing world out there, and it can be hard to know which path to take when you find yourself at a cross-roads. But when you get support through our coaching programs, you’ll gain confidence and clarity on your next step when you have your own visual road map in hand.

What Others Are Saying

"THE VISUALS GENERATED A HUGE AMOUNT OF SHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA DURING OUR EVENT"

People were in love with the graphic recordings! Brilliance Mastery did an absolutely fantastic job of telling our story. I really appreciated how you were able to incorporate French into the visuals so seamlessly. The visuals generated a huge amount of sharing on social media during our event, and gave a great sense of fun and energy to the room. Most importantly, the visuals sparked great conversations among our delegates, and helped remind them of what they had heard and learned. It was a great element for our event and we still go back and refer to them!

"TOOK A COMPLEX SUBJECT AND TURNED IT INTO AN EASY-TO-FOLLOW PIECE THAT OUR CONSULTANTS ARE USING IN THE SALES PROCESS"

It was a pleasure working with Carolyn on the visual representations of our programs and industry. Through a couple in person sessions and some follow up calls, she was able to take a complex and nuanced subject and turn it into an easy-to-follow 8.5″ x 11″ piece that our consultants are now using to aid them in the sales process. If it’s true that a “picture says 1000 words”, Carolyn not only makes a pretty picture, she helps you determine which 1000 words to say. No small feat, that. Highly recommend!

"SHE’S BRILLIANT... IT’S THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS TO YOUR PEOPLE!"

Carolyn Ellis is absolute amazing. At the two-day Art of Learning, she captured every one of Joey Coleman’s thoughts. Put it onto paper and everyone of our clients was so excited! I’ve never seen more people gather around to take pictures of Carolyn. They video taped her, they noticed all of the drawings, everything was just absolutely bang on! The name of her company is absolutely perfect, because she’s brilliant. Reach out to Carolyn and document your next meeting, your next conference. It’s the best way to get your message across to all of your people.

"CAROLYN IS A GREAT PERSON TO WORK WITH, BLESSED WITH A UNIQUE TALENT"

As a learning & development professional, I always look for innovative ideas to share content and information. Inspired by Carolyn’s doodles and attending her workshop gave an opportunity to combine my interest in sketching and love for colors in my daily work. I have already started doodling be it summarizing traditional slides on a page, doing roadshows for strategic gatherings or taking daily meeting notes. Carolyn is a great person to work with and blessed with a unique talent which she is ready to share with anyone looking for innovation and creativity – so get ahead for a doodling fun time leaving long lasting impact on the audience.

"ABILITY TO CAPTURE KEY CONTENT AND DISCUSSION IN A VIBRANT AND ENGAGING MANNER KEPT THE MATERIAL ALIVE"

I had the privilege of watching Carolyn perform as she graphically recorded one of my training sessions with a mutual client. Her ability to capture key content ideas and discussion in such a vibrant and engaging manner kept the material alive after its presentation and allowed participants to browse and reflect on their own time, connecting the images on the wall to the “what’s next” in their own work.
