Hi! My name is Milly Sonneman and I’m an expert in drawing out ideas. I know what it takes to deliver a quick, memorable and powerful message. My client list is a who’s who of Fortune 500 and 1000 corporations and government agencies including:

  • Professors and Regional Managers at McDonald’s
  • Sales Training Facilitators and Coaches at Merck
  • Master Trainers and Facilitators at Wal-Mart
  • Facilitators and Coaches at Bank One
  • Organizational Development Consultants in the U. S. Navy
  • Supervisors and Interpreters at the National Park Service
  • Educators at the Shedd Aquarium

I’m the author of Beyond Words: A Guide to Drawing Out Ideas now in it’s third printing., and translated into Indonesian and Japanese. And I’ve trained thousands of trainers, presenters and facilitators how to engage audiences effortlessly.

I started Hands On Graphics, Inc. in early 1989, in a tiny one-room studio in San Francisco. And today, we’re leaders in visual learning skills. I’ve worked with CEO’s, Trainers, Facilitators and Coaches. All different industries: from communication and banking to hospitality, government and universities. I’ve delivered sessions in the US, the UK, Germany, Spain, Singapore and Switzerland.

I’ve seen how anyone can learn the skill of drawing out ideas.

So just imagine how upset I got when I read this email:

“My boss is convinced that when I’m in front of a training, I should be like a tape recorder with the record button on. Then, when I get in front of the audience, I should simply hit the "play" button and deliver the message...

This approach assumes that if I can "spew" facts and figures long enough, sooner or later my group will give up and say, "I get it!"

Is there another way?”

You bet there is! Instead of moving on automatic, there’s a way to involve your audience. Follow my simple instructions, this technique is so quick... it's so efficient... You won't have to guess and that makes it extremely powerful.

There’s no pushing information. You’re giving each person exactly what they want —how they want it. Easy, Simple and Clear. And if that sounds simple, it really is.

Did you know that visual icons increase learning speed and retention? In fact, according to 3M Corp. research, your brain grasps visual images 60,000 times faster than text!

Yet the funny thing is, my techniques for visual learning are not taught by anyone else. My competitors are more interested in selling products. And then they want to hook you into buying more products.

They don’t want to teach you skills that you can do on your own.

Nope. They count on the basic fear of drawing. They keep things “academic” so you’ll rely on them and not yourself.

Look, you’re already stuck in meetings and trainings long enough as it is. Yet it’s been proven that visuals cut meeting time down by 25%. Wouldn’t you like to have those extra hours of free time?

Everyone appreciates an easy way so you can communicate ideas in less time. Make decisions faster. Even if you think you don’t have a visual bone in your body. You’ll be so appreciated when you help people get more done in less time.

My workshops are for the world’s top companies, Fortune 500. Companies regularly pay $10,000.00 to fly me in to give live trainings. If that sounds like a lot of money to you, let me share the fact that training directors rave about the results. Training managers and trainers flood me with emails telling me how this system makes their job so much easier.

Many training directors come to me after they’ve spent thousands of dollars for pre-drawn maps and packages of boring templates. They are so thrilled to know how to create engagement on the spot…and on their own. They’re delighted to steer clear of the rip-off artists who want to keep them dependent.

My clients want INDEPENDENCE

You know what they say? “Wow. I wish I’d known about you last year!” Now that they do, they want more of my proven methods, real-life examples and practical training.

I have to let you in on a secret. When I started doing this work almost 20 years ago…I was convinced that I couldn’t draw. And if you saw my early work…well… I’m sure you’d agree.

But because I was so lousy at it…I figured out how to break down drawing into tiny steps. I had to make it so simple—so I could be fast on my feet. So I could capture the essence of any comment in seconds.

And you know it’s true, “If I can do it…You can do it!”

The shocking truth

You see—you don’t need have talent. You don’t need to be an artist. You can follow the at-a-glance steps and yes, you too will be drawing simple icons in just a few seconds.

I know what your questions are because I’ve heard them from thousands of participants.

And I’ve answered them by showing you the inside secrets so you can skip making all the mistakes I’ve made.

I’ve made it that EASY!

Don’t believe me?

Here’s proof.

Mike Morgan is a marketing consultant for my company. He frequently speaks in front of large groups at conferences and seminars.

Before he was exposed to my techniques, he could barely draw stick figures. His presentations were mechanical and relied heavily on PowerPoint slides. Mike knew his message was only getting through to a tiny percentage of the crowd.

At first, he felt apprehensive about learning to draw. Mike couldn’t rationalize how it would benefit his talks.

But he took a leap of faith and gave it a try.

After just one session of viewing Flipchart Master Class and practicing my system, Mike’s no longer lecturing. No longer doing one-directional data dumps. Instead, he involves and engages his audiences. The bottom line? He’s closed 57% more sales as a result.

Before, he was rarely approached by more than a few attendees. Now he is regularly hunted down and cornered by mobs of people.

Mike has earned a whole new level of respect and admiration.

That’s when I decided to take action and release a completely up to date presentation of my techniques directly to you. No complicated steps. No expensive ongoing cost. No nonsense. Just a system for…

Pure Presentation Dynamite

In January 2007, I emerged from my studio to deliver one of my most powerful trainings ever. I revealed patterns and techniques I’ve never shared with even my top clients. Let me put in bluntly. This system is cutting-edge.

This is not a watered down version. This is not a trick. I’ve condensed the teaching of nearly two decades into my Flipchart Master Class system because I know it will make your job easier.

This is your personal invitation to gain total comfort and confidence to fully engage your audience. Discover cutting edge research and practices to reach learners of all ages.

And become the go-to person for mission-critical meetings and trainings. Using just these proven strategies will unleash a tidal wave of respect and personal career development in under a month.

Here’s the old way of getting “engagement” with your audience. You walk in the door and begin lecturing at them. You talk about facts and figures. You glance around the room to find your audience really doesn’t want to be there. You try to involve them, but they just go through the motions and pretend to be interested.

You have a fancy PowerPoint presentation that you’ve slaved over. And you hope gets the major points across. But still they don’t get it.

These are the old-school training techniques. And they don’t work. And, being super enthusiastic doesn’t help. Repeating positive affirmations before the session doesn’t work if the tools you have to work with are hum-drum. Instead, you should be using…

Dynamic Visual Engagement Skills

» Yes You Can Learn How To “Burn In” Knowledge In A Split Second - use this technique to judge the effects of your presentation and then turn it up or down as needed. This goes WAY beyond anything you’ve ever heard. Yet, I make it so simple; you can master it right away.

» How To Develop Dynamic Engagement… Even In A Lunch Room - even if your audience could care less about the subject matter. They’ll be eating out of your hand from the start!

» How to Gain Situational Leadership—you’ll instantly take command of a room and secure the respect and attention as an authority in your field.

These techniques are explained in simple step-by-step method, with easy to follow directions. Just watch each section and practice the exercises. And let me tell you something, these exercises are fun. And when you discover just how powerful they are…

You’ll Be Absolutely Unstoppable

And that’s just the appetizer. Now you are ready for the main course. This next part is crucial to your career path. You see, once your skills become well known within your company, you’ll be surprised how much easier it is break through glass ceilings.

Suddenly, you’ll have more control over landing the best assignments. Your reputation will grow. Your superiors will look at you in a different light. And you’ll be less frustrated if you do have to present mundane subject matter.

Because now — your trainings and meetings click. And people look forward to your presentations!

Here’s why.

I’m sure you’ve heard the statistics. Educational researchers suggest that 80% of learning occurs visually. Yes, that includes 20% who like to get actively involved. But they too want to have a picture before they get started.

I know you want to reach your audience!

When you learn the secrets of anchoring key points with visuals, you’ll rivet the attention of your entire group. Turn your information into knowledge. Useable knowledge. Knowledge in action that boosts on-the-job performance. Real Results.

Isn’t that your goal in the first place?

You see, your participants will feel that you’ve hit upon their exact learning strategy. They just think it’s fun and engaging. That’s when information turns into knowledge. And you’re going to laugh at how simple this is…all the way to your next rave review.

In fact, within a few minutes of learning these techniques…you’re going to unleash…

Now, the world’s best companies pay me thousands for starters to train their trainers and managers—why would I let you have such a strategic part of this information for less than a penny on the dollar?

The answer is two-fold and I’ll be real up-front here.

First, I want to put an end to the atmosphere of dependence. I’ve had it with hearing from people who are afraid that their peers will make fun of them. Who think that they have to rely on expensive pre-made templates. I want to show you how simple it really is… and I want you to have the confidence to succeed…on your own.

Second, when you’ve used my “Flipchart Master Class: Drawing Out Ideas” system, you’ll tell friends, co-workers and colleagues.
