"The effect of adding Ray Eckermann’s illustrations to my workshops and conference presentations has been nothing short of mind boggling. I hadn’t anticipated how powerful an impact they would make in not only deepening the comprehension of key concepts but also in increasing the recall of ideas and in enabling teachers to apply their learning in their classrooms.

"Ray is a phenomenal talent. It would be difficult to overstate the value he adds to sessions. He somehow manages to capture all of the key ideas and weave them into the most compelling graphic. His drawings act as powerful aide-memoires that do so much to help people translate learning into sustained action. His "big reveals" at the end of the session always elicit wonder, acclaim and gratitude - he is a very difficult act to precede!!"

"Ray Eckermann makes an extraordinary contribution to the world of work and beyond. His capacity to visually translate complex ideas into the elegantly simple is one of Ray’s unique gifts. Rays ability to visually represent holistically an event, meeting or workshop is simply spellbinding. He visually communicates moments, concepts, thoughts and narratives into brilliant graphical masterpieces that ensure insights, feelings, and critical information is taken beyond the day into powerful and valuable conversations to maximise follow up and follow through. Our work across the world, throughout many businesses and communities is magnified in its impact due to Rays contribution. Simply put: He is brilliant. A visual wizard."
