It can get pretty labour intensive.  I know it certainly does for me. And it calls on a pretty general skill set to do everything involved - the content development, creating killer slides and handouts, as well as smashing it when you deliver the workshop.

I thought I would call in an expert in design, a guy that has decided he’s going to share his graphic and branding genius to help facilitators and training companies, really drive engagement in their sessions, through the use of visuals.

His name is Jason Knight and he blends HR + Marketing together.  He’s the founder and creative brains of Moved by Design, a design consultancy - specialising in UX and EX. He’s spent over 15 years creatively blending strategy and brand identity into powerful communications, for growing brands and engaging employees.

His company, Moved By Design, transforms boring L&D into a people-first culture where strategic, customised corporate learning and coaching builds talent, brains and businesses.

If you think your materials are a bit average and you want next level, listen in to this episode to pickup his ideas on how to improve them, and ways you can use design to really drive engagement in your meeting, your workshop or your conference.
