“What helped me the most by attending Mireille’s training is how you can get visual insight into your target group you want to work with and how to overcome the obstacles in my mind to start drawing. I now enjoy my newly developed skills very much. Other than that, this training is designed very well. Mireille could not have put more into these two days. I don’t know what could be improved. In any case, I am still grateful to Mireille every day.”

“I am known as a ‘chatterbox’; I talk fast, I talk a lot, and am passionate about sharing as much knowledge as possible. Because it is ‘lots’ and ‘fast’, not everyone can keep up. I like visualising my examples too, but they remain mere words, and are never as powerful as images.

Therefore Mireille made a graphic recording of a 4-day summit that I organized. After every hour of training, Mireille published its visual representation.

This way, two things happened. Now participants could see in addition to hearing my words, suddenly some extra pennies dropped; often making them understand even better what the training had been about. Because Mireille made it visual, participants could not only understand the training better, they also remembered more.

It made an already powerful training even more valuable for my participants, during but also after our meeting.“

”Mireille is not only a great expert in visual communication, but is also excellent in transferring her knowledge to the participants of her workshops. The special value of her workshop Clear & Impactful Flipchart Presentations is is that one gets a lot of useful tips as well as learns the basic principles of visual communication that are helpful not only in preparing flipcharts but also other elements such as powerpoint presentations, advertisements, posters, etc. It is amazing to see how, by following her tips, a flipchart comes to life in a completely different way.”

“I had the pleasure of learning from Mireille and later working with her when our roles were reverse. I haven’t truly understood the impact and usefulness of visual facilitation until I attended her workshops as a client. It is her primary nature to think in pictures and it is mesmerising to see her in action. She is highly skilled in facilitating that, coupled with her innate ability to tune in to needs and feelings of others and connect with them on a deeper level, make her programmes highly engaging, useful and well worth attending.“

”All through the process of working with Mireille on several projects I have been impressed and delighted by what she brought in terms of skills at the level of content, very high reliability, ease of working together, creativity and empathic presence.”

“Mireille’s 2-day workshop changes everything! Now I can see how to add clarity and interest to my workshop materials, using her clear guidelines, her visual templates & her visual elements. What’s more, I can now create my own templates and visual elements thanks to Mireille’s foundational teaching. Mireille encourages and inspires – gently guiding and adding her own suggestions, showing how all of us can convey information in a clear visually impactful way.”

”I appreciate your simplicity, clarity and your visual clarity. Thank you for your patience!”

“I highly recommend Mireille for her teaching and coaching skills in visual facilitation. In the live training she helped me realize that there is something like: a visual language! And I discovered, that I wasn’t aware of it, allthough I used some illustrations in my trainings. In a one-on-one coaching session afterwards, she helped me see and understand more of it by giving me helpfull feedback to the visuals, (flyers and flipcharts) that I had made after the training. I experience her as not only very good in visuals, but also very empathic and clear in her communication.”

“Finally a break through on early ‘teachings’ not to draw! A rich toolkit and invitation to explore the interplay of images, words and concepts. Mireille’s engaged interest in these interplay’s kept me involved through the 2 days. Come have a ball!”

I recommend Mireille, because she makes a very professional visual report of the webinar. The content of the webinar is clear at a glance and the results are made visual. The material is also of a very high level and you can use directly in your marketing. Mireille is also a very nice personality to work with. Besides she also advises you how to apply the content created and comes with surprising approaches and possibilities.

I can definitely say this helped me to easier get more clients and that it is an important part of the development of my company’s to make my materials visual as well. Now everything comes together and I can communicate much better and convince people of my message.”

”I was longing for renewal of my pedagogy, improvement of my creativity after 20 years of transmission and really got new input! I let go of my beliefs about creativity and am stimulated to reflect about my transmission. Mireille makes drawing really accessible. Thanks for your generosity.”

“I was wrestling with how to help my potential clients understand the value of my leadership program and then make a decision about whether to join. Many expressed interest but then did not commit to what I know would have been a valuable program. Mireille helped me understand what conversations I needed to have and how to have them – in my way, on my terms, rather than following a formula that would not feel authentic for me. My conversations with potential clients have been different since we worked together – I have been less hesitant, more capable of showing the value and asking for a decision from interested potential clients. I anchor myself clearly in the beauty and value of what I am bringing into the world. I felt Mireille saw that, respected it and met me in my own uniqueness. Thank you!”

“I am always attracted to workshop in which visuals are used. Through them and their beauty, the learning process is stimulated and makes the content easier to remember for the audience. It is a pleasure to me to be able now, to effectively use this aspect in my own workshops. I feel very happy and grateful that Mireille specifically chooses to visually support Nonviolent Communication workshops and simultaneously increases the impact by training visual facilitation skills to trainers.“

“A training that allows everyone to have fun drawing. Thank you for your passion and all you offer with from your heart.”

“I liked so much the way Mireille teaches with clarity and generosity. She gives all the tools we need, with details and step by step. It is extremely helpful. A lot of gratitude.”

“With her history as the Head of Design in a Slovenian Advertising Agency and thorough training in Nonviolent Communication, Mireille van Bremen stepped in for me as the ideal coach. By gentle guidance and giving me the space for my own process, our work in four sessions over a period of two months, supported me in making an important step in my career. I appreciate her understanding of my work within the creative industry, while being able to hear me totally judgement-free. She guided me through a process with concrete steps and action-plans, far beyond standardized “business-coaching” models. This helped me, to follow through a change process and to set free resources, that I could not access enough before being coached by her.”

“I can highly recommend Mireille. Having had the pleasure of some empathy sessions. She listens with a lot of presence and compassion. It really served me – how she listened helped me to self connect, becoming clearer about what was actually going on for me. Through her empathic presence, I was able to reach much more clarity on how to move forward.”

“Mireille offered empathic listening and role playing for me to deal with my writers block. She offers a uniquely warm, caring and creative presence that supported me in beginning to work thought and positively transform this issue. I feel that anyone would benefit from her services and I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
