What people have said about this workshop: 

“Ashton’s non-invasive/non-demanding teaching style allows for a relaxed and highly effective learning environment. The visual recording/facilitating skills she taught me have greatly influenced my work, both at the library and deeply embedded its self into my coaching and consulting work in ways that have greatly added to my ability to convey information and has increased the prestige with which I am perceived. Thank you so much, Ashton!” – Chris W. 

To be honest, I was skeptical that Ashton would be able to instill enough confidence in me that I could draw in public by end of day. Not only did I draw in public, but I felt comfortable doing it and actually had a lot of fun! Ashton was warm and welcoming to all participants and really set a positive tone for the day – encouraging us to ask questions, creating a sense of community and sharing her knowledge and experiences. Ashton’s experience in both facilitation and art provide her with the unique ability to read a room and capture the moments almost effortlessly. I’m finding myself drawing banners and arrows around everything! 😉 – Tara J.
