Roy Blumenthal
PICTURE THIS...
You're an audience member at a thrilling, dynamic event. The speaker is truly inspiring. His or her presentation is up on the big screen. And you're feeling moved by the energy...
On a second screen... You're seeing a concurrent interpretation of the speaker's message... Live... In full colour... Paintings made on-the-spot by Roy Blumenthal, an internationally televised visual facilitator...
Roy's paintings pull out the key points made by the speaker... Creating a visual anchor... Something to nail the message home.
ROY WORKS LIVE ON CNBC AFRICA TELEVISION:
In addition to having engagements at conference venues, in boardrooms, and in corporate events, Roy Blumenthal is the on-screen live visual facilitator for international television giant, CNBC AFRICA. He appears weekly on 'Kaleidoscope', the business magazine program, where he interprets live interviews and everything else coming his way.
Roy Blumenthal is a Professional member of the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa.
Here's what Stef du Plessis, international public speaker, and co-founder of NSASA (now PSASA), says about Roy Blumenthal's visual facilitation:
During the past 15 years I have been fortunate to speak at some of the world's most prestigious conventions, where I often get to experience other talent -- both in the form of fellow speakers, as well as those who support client conventions in any of a myriad of ways.
When it comes to making the most of delegate experience, Roy Blumenthal is right up there with the very best that I have ever seen.
His offering is, in my view, an essential part of any event where delegate retention of the message is important. His ability to grasp the core message of any speaker, and to then do a real-time translation into a dynamic and visually pleasing key-point summary -- for immediate distribution -- is remarkable.
Hire this man if you are serious about your delegates walking away with real take-home value.
-- Stef du Plessis
And Clive Simpkins, the other co-founder of NSASA (now PSASA) says this about Roy's 3-day visual facilitation of the 2008 NSASA National Convention, featuring numerous international speakers:
Roy, for anyone who was there -- you made a PHENOMENAL contribution to the creativity of each person's presentation and also to the audience's retention of what they were saying.
This approach was a first for me and I heartily recommend it to any conference organiser who wants to add an edge and highly relevant novelty to their speaker-support system.
-- Clive Simpkins
Roy Blumenthal is a highly experienced facilitator with a difference... He uses his Tablet PC as a box of tricks, literally drawing information out of any seminar, meeting, or brainstorm.
That’s because Roy is an illustrator who makes graphic recordings of events, helping participants to literally see their collective wisdom!
ROY'S TALENTS AT YOUR DISPOSAL:
He brings a paintbox full of talents to the party.
- He’s a trained crisis counsellor.
- An ex-advertising copywriter at Hunt Lascaris FMC.
- A standup poet and comic.
- He facilitates brainstorms.
- Teaches creativity seminars.
- Writes and directs industrial and corporate theatre.
- And he spends hundreds of hours a year painting.
All of Roy’s paintings are done digitally, at high resolution. Which means he can make A4 handouts on the spot. The paintings can also be printed out as huge posters for your boardroom. And they can be projected in the room while he works.
One thing’s certain... When Roy makes a pictorial record of your event, everyone will be able to recall the key points vividly. That’s because visual aids act as anchors, helping retention and understanding of key themes and ideas.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
John Tschohl, Customer Service consultant says:
'Roy, I like your drawings. You are very creative and really capture the flow of the seminar.'
Ben Zander, co-author of THE ART OF POSSIBILITY, Conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, and motivational speaker says:
'I've been so busy (and rude) that i haven't written to acknowledge your beautiful drawing/painting. It captured the spirit (and quite a lot of the content) of the event and I will treasure it. In fact, it is on my website.
Thanks so much for pouring your heart (and hand) into The Art of Possibility. What a blast we had that day!
Warmest greetings
'till the next time we meet in SA, Ben'
