Hi, I'm Maria Luisa!
And I know exactly how you feel.
When I started I had no idea of sketchnoting but I found it would be cool to use them for my work. I wanted to learnt it but I was unsure on how to draw and not really very confident about my abilities.
My first notes were messy and I didn't want to show anybody because I thought they were not good.
It took me a while and many trials and errors to start sharing them in public. I wish I had somebody to guide me.
And when I finally did it to my surprise the reaction was quite positive, even when the sketches were not perfect because they carried a message that resonated with people.
Now when I look to my early works I can see my progress.
Today I teach professionals like you creativity and visual skills and have a 5 figure audience.
I have guided more than 500 people in the joy of business sketchnotes and published 4 books about business sketchnotes.
I want to show you how using your own visuals can enrich your coaching, presentations, training or your own branding.
My course participants are using their own sketchnotes, in their flipcharts, social media or in 1-1 having more fun and being more effective at work.
I'm here to help you make your work more engaging, enjoyable and distinctive.
I am convinced that if I an do it, you can do it!
