In each of the Bikablo programs, you develop your skills to “think with the pen,” to create shared understanding of complex or abstract ideas, processes, and more. I am delighted to be the United States member of the Bikablo certified trainer team.
Here’s a brief description of the programs I am currently offering.

bikablo Basics 2 Day Training
This is basic training for participants who want to take more time to develop their visualization skills and get deeper into visual thinking. On the first day, the basics and details of the Bikablo visualization technique are systematically developed, supplemented by modules such as handwriting, a pictogram library, or specific layout templates. On the second day complex, visual presentations for own personal topics are developed in extensive application phases.
bikablo Basics Day 1 Training
In the Day 1 program, participants get to know the building blocks of the bikablo visualization technique and then design flip chart posters for the communication of their own content.
-
- Learn to hold the pen, draw clean lines, and structure your space on the flip chart

- Discover the easy ways the bikablo® method provides to draw people, roles, groups, and situations
- Use simple and fast options to color elements and spaces to support the graphic structure
- Improve your handwriting—make it more legible and attractive—on flip charts… and more!

bikablo e-xtraklasse: a virtual learning trip in small groups
This coaching course is a deep dive—ten 90 minute sessions— into the methods and practices learned in the two day Bikablo Basic Training. It is intense—makes you stretch—and super fun!
The flow of our journey
The first eight sessions take place at a fixed weekly time and each has a specific focus. We repeat visual vocabulary such as containers and pictograms, enhance figures, get to the bottom of the subtleties of our visualization technology, answer questions, and give tips for independent further learning.
The ninth session takes place two weeks after the eighth session, the tenth session again two weeks later. On these two dates, there is the opportunity to discuss practical applications from your own practice with the trainer and group.
