Simon has developed a unique approach over the past 15 years that focuses on 3 fundamental principles. These are principles that allow ANYONE who walks away from our Visual and Graphic Facilitation public workshops to express their thoughts visually.
Showing people how to draw what they see, as opposed to what they think they see. Nobody looks like a stick figure!
By breaking down the drawing process to its fundamental level of line and shape, you can literally draw anything. Yes, anything!
With the help of humour, energy and a passion for drawing, Simon instils everyone with confidence to actually go and draw. With his extensive Arts and Corporate background, Simon can take your team from “I can only draw a stickman” through to “I can’t actually believe what I have created!”
Our next public workshops are going to be virtual. The great news is that this medium - visual communication - works beautifully over a screen.
I have recently been a participant in Simon's Whiteboard Ninja course. What can I say! Simon has provided me with the tools to help me communicate more effectively with my clients, but also the confidence to try and express what is in my head on paper without the fear of my artistic limitations being exposed. The classes have been fabulously facilitated and the collaboration with other participants in a virtual environment has been awesome. I would highly recommend Simon to help unleash your potential and your inner story teller.
Here is someone who knows how to distill years of experience in creativity into bite-size nuggets of gold. Simon's 'Whiteboard Ninja' training was one of my highlights in this Covid confinement chaos. The course is playful, highly interactive and both practice and application-focused. The final session with a series of scenarios as prompts for fast drawings is brilliant! A great confidence-builder for facilitators/presenters who understand that a picture tells a thousand words.
I had the pleasure of attending Simon’s full-day Graphic Facilitation course recently in Sydney and could not recommend it highly enough. True to his word, Simon packed a punch of content into the day - there is great ROI in attending this workshop as I walked out literally ready to go and implement my new graphic facilitation skills.
Simon’s friendly and funny expert facilitation and guided learning ensured that by the end of the day we had each achieved our individual objectives, and so much more!
I would definitely recommend this workshop for anyone who’s looking to level up in facilitation and visual communication. I would love to attend more of Simon’s workshops in the future.

Who facilitates this? What's their experience?
Simon Banks is an Author, Podcaster and International Speaker on creativity, innovation and design and a recovering professional artist. (That's important.) Not your usual corporate-turned-creative, Simon knows his art and has a passion for helping people to tell visual stories and rediscover their most human elements of curiosity, creativity and imagination. Most of all he makes it a huge amount of fun! Who said learning had to be boring?
He has exhibited his own art across the globe and has run Whiteboard Ninja programs for clients such as NAB, ANZ, Queensland Government, The Change Management Institute, The Federal Department of Industry, Innovation and Science and numerous Federal Government organisations. Simon also delivers this program for Sydney’s University of Technology MBA Entrepreneur program.
Learning graphic facilitation or visual storytelling is about learning to put information in a way that our brain loves AND doing it in a way that saves you a huge amount of time. The ability to quickly sketch something and say, “Is this what you mean” and check in for understanding can save literally weeks of time compared to sending emails and slide decks back and forth.
We cap participants at 10 per session to maximise interaction and ensure you get the most value out of your time.
Our next intake is starting in the next few weeks. Don't miss out!
