Why take this course?

We all spend a lot of time in boring meetings and presentations that fail to captivate our attention. None of us should have to go through something like this, especially if you are the one in charge of that meeting or presentation.

My name is Alex Glod. I'm a senior trainer, online instructor and 3-times TEDx speaker. I've also struggled at the beginning of my career with keeping people engaged during my meetings and trainings. Luckily I found the solution in the most unexpected, yet obvious places - the ancient art of drawing and that immediately made my events stand out.

By applying drawing to our business communication we engage people's imagination, sparkle their creativity and offer a memorable experience.

During the course you will easily learn:

  • How to Develop Your Visual Vocabulary

  • How to Draw Templates that Will Make Your Meetings More Structured and Engaging

  • How to Add Drawings and Creativity to Your Presentations and Trainings

  • and The Bonus Skill of Writing Beautifully and Adding Fun Design Elements to your Flipcharts

All you need to join the course is a notebook, a black pen and a willingness to learn, but I also recommend using the course manual which will make your learning experience all the more fun. Don't worry about being good or not at drawing, we will take care of in the very beginning.

Join the course now and bring magic, creativity and joy to your meetings and presentations.

The intro was a bit too long and there are quite a few repetitions. However after that the course was really informative and it was fun to draw along.

Currently doing this course after having completed a previous one aimed at a more general public. This one clearly provides the context of the business world and management for the icons that are presented. The instructor is engaging, and you will get the most out of the course if you follow along and do the drawings as they are presented. The printable manual is an immense help too, and an invaluable reference resource once the course is completed.

Alex is such an inspiring presenter that I dived into the course without thinking too much of my non-drawing skills. I've never used drawings in my professional working life. Yet, the way Alex explained how to draw and how he guided me on each simple step is just out of the box. I didn't follow the book, it'd have been too easy. I preferred to draw along with Alex and I'm happy to say that, although my drawings aren't perfect, I'm rather satisfied of the end-product. It has also given me the opportunity to think upon how to use these new simple drawing skills into my managerial role. I'll definitely be on the look out for another course in Udemy from Alex Glod.

I liked the course - it is easy to follow, really motivating to actually draw something. It also gives a glimpse into other (beyond drawing per se) aspects of presenting/training/facilitating, like liberating structures, brainstorming, collecting/processing feedback. Overall, quite useful.

It was very fun! I enriched my visual library and I really like my drawings that I made during the course.

What would help is more information bout how to conduct effective meetings (not only by drawing) and more focus on drawing tools (software, tablets, e-whiteboards). Information about drawing techniques and templates - highly recommended.

I am finding the training useful. Very good examples and the explanation of the meaning of the drawings are inspired.

A lot of camera focuspoints which is sometimes deviating from the subject (and when too far ... the pen tip cann’t been seen in detail)

This course really made it easy for me to draw otherwise, I was too afraid and skeptical to even try.

Prima introductie, benieuwd naar wat er nog meer gaat komen. Op basis van wat ik tot nu toe heb gezien is het "gewoon prima", maar het echte werk moet natuurlijk nog beginnen!

I am definitely not someone you would label as an artist, but I was able to do the drawing in this course. The instructor is excellent, and his pace is perfect. This course felt like it was over so soon because the instructor made it a joy to learn.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found it extremely valuable for my role at work, as well as for my personal enjoyment and creative outlet. Thank you Alex.

This course is really put together well and Alex is extremely responsive and helpful. The unexpected benefit is that using drawing to keep your audience engaged also forces you to use concepts that are concise, which makes your overall presentation much less bloated with useless information. I highly recommend this course to anyone that needs to get ideas across to others.
