Graphic facilitation happens when the image maker is also leading and directing a conversation about change. With graphic facilitation, a facilitator leads a small group of people such as a committee, a C-suite team, or a board through a process that helps them make decisions about their group. A graphic facilitator designs the format of the conversation and draws it out visually as she leads it. Attendees often contribute to the visual conversation through the use of sticky notes or writing the paper. Sometimes a facilitator may lead the conversation and employ a graphic recorder to record the conversation visually.

- Using a graphic conversation to create a plan of action or come to a consensus

Graphic recording is the art of translating a conversation, public address, presentation, or panel into words and images in real time. Images can be created with marker pens on large pieces of paper or hand-drawn on an iPad and projected on a screen.

- Publically recording a conversation or session

Sketchnotes are similar to graphic recording, but they are created on a small scale. A sketchnote artist usually sits with the audience and creates sketchnotes in a notebook or on an iPad. These images are shared via social media during or after the event. Sketchnotes may be created of videos or podcasts as well as a form of show notes.

- Capturing a conversation, presentation, video.

Graphic facilitation, graphic recording, and sketchnotes all combine words and pictures to engage both sides of the brain for higher retention. A little more clarity in the world is a great thing!
