## VIRTUAL Marker Meetup - Visual Thinking Framework!

Join Bikablo North America Global Trainers Jennie Hempstead (USA) and Melanie Taljaard (Canada) for a free, interactive Marker Meetup focused on the Thought Sketching Framework: a practical approach to listening, prioritizing, and capturing ideas visually in real time.
This isn't about making beautiful drawings. It's about thinking with your marker.
Through guided exercises and hands-on practice, you'll strengthen three skills that can make meetings, workshops, presentations, and conversations more productive:

• Active listening: : Hear beyond the words to recognize themes, connections, and meaning.
• Real-time information prioritization: Quickly determine what's important, what supports it, and what can be left behind.
• Visual notetaking: Translate what you're hearing into simple words, structures, symbols, and relationships that make information easier to understand and remember.

You'll practice the Thought Sketching Framework alongside participants from across the globe in a welcoming, low-pressure environment. No drawing experience is necessary. Bring a few markers, some paper, and a willingness to experiment.

### Why Thought Sketching?

In a meeting, our brains are constantly making decisions: What's important? How does this connect to what I heard earlier? What should I remember?
Thought sketching makes that invisible process visible.
Rather than attempting to create a transcript, you'll practice turning a stream of information into a visual hierarchy of ideas, helping you become a more intentional listener, clearer thinker, and more effective communicator.
Come ready to listen, draw, think, and practice.
