Tim has played a significant role in our Talent management & Leadership Conference, where he’s captured all of the contents of the speakers and presentations into these comprehensive visual stories. We now have a wonderful summary of the essence of talent management issues for future reference and use in our training and consulting work with clients. All of our participants have been thoroughly engaged by the process.

Eric Feng

Charisma Academy Founder 

I’ve worked with Tim in many conferences and events. He is THE go to guy for visual work. Tim is so empathetic and perceptive, he can extract the essence of a talk and put it together in a way thats very compelling for the attendees and the trainers and speakers. He’s able to bring the best out of every group and presentation. If you want to create some great take away value for your next team meeting or conference, I highly recommend to have Tim in the room with you.

Great opportunity to practise new skills in drawing and visually communicating my ideas. Opens up so many more possibilities to connect more effectively with my ideas and with teams. Visual thinking tools are a great way to work toward new solutions to thorny problems.

Good reminder of how to use visuals to engage my audience. Nicely presented with lots of energy and very engaging speaker. 

-Ricky Lien - Mindset Media Pte Ltd

 

Tim’s presentation was inspiring! Good teacher demonstrating the art of using simple visual tools for goal setting.

-Richard Teo GM Fuji Xerox Singapore

 

“I found Tim Hamon’s succinct presentation on Visual Goal Setting very engaging and useful, where I picked up 3 simple tricks that can be used in my training session: Draw live, get a marker in the participants’ hands and  create templates. Tim was very passionate and encouraging too in sharing his knowledge and experience with us. “

David Arvin

The Visibility Coach Keynote Speaker

 

Tim Hammons, a talented artist, captured the essence of my presentation in a form of art that is tangible, memorable and permanent. He is an artist who does unbelievable, amazing work and i was thrilled to see him in action. 

Usually, after a presentation we tend to forget newly learnt knowledge within an hour however his work makes it last. He amplifies everything that the participants were taught and his drawing can be revisited on a regular basis to serve as a reminder. 

 

Tim is highly recommend to bring to your conference to make your learning journey much more enjoyable and memorable.

His visuals captured the essence of Soup Spoon vividly are constantly being used by me to explain what the company is about to my employees. 

The artworks created by Tim act as an important summary tool for all my presentations as it portrays everything in a single snapshot.

Testimonials for Tim Hamons

 

 

Visual Recording work

 

Tim Hamons is an excellent graphic recorder with a unique style to his graphics. I have worked with him on a workshop entitled "Entrepreneurial Transformation through Bridging Leadership" where he was able to effectively represent the sharings of the session onto a visually attractive and informative visual recording. Through his recordings, the participants felt engaged and interested in the subject matter. In addition, the recording helped the participants in remembering their learning journey and the thinking process of the group which in my opinion aids in learning and memory. 

- Erwin Chan, Chief Innovation Officer, SMU

 

Creative Workshops

 

Thank you for last week’s session. I enjoyed the chance to work creatively with a team that I don’t normally get to spend time with. It was also fun to explore what the concept of “me, key and we” meant to me on a personal level and what it meant to others when we did this as a team.  On a personal level, I am doing some work to explore what my mid life goals are and realign them to my future- the exercise on defining “me” in that column gave me a breakthrough when I thought about it from that perspective.

 

Thank you once again,

 Jaya Dass, manager, business support, Randstad Pte Limited

 

He bring out our creativity and bond us closely together in the session. He never failed to bring laughter to the session. He is clear with instructions and make those that doesn’t know art at all at ease. He is caring and will guide us along the session. Great to know at the end of the session that all in the room is an artist

Kim Underhill 

Regional Head at Electrolux SEA Pte Ltd

 

A wonderful day spent on the Art of Visual Thinking workshop with Tim Hammons, it was such an exciting program and my team has gained so much from him. This was especially meaningful to those who believed that they could not draw, however to their surprise they left the workshop with a different mindset. The techniques that was acquired could be applied anytime onto business context and daily life. 

 

We love to be able to collaborate with Tim again.

“We are delighted to partner our friend Tim Hamons in bringing world communities together to do good. The SIF’s Ideas for a Better World forum promotes the exchange of insights and experiences between global thought leaders and the Singapore community to inspire action for a better world. Tim’s mind-mapping and graphic visualisation work amplifies the Forums’ ideas and etches in our minds the many nuggets of inspiration long after the last participant has left.  His creative works never fails to amaze Forum panellists and participants alike, winning him friends and fans.” 

~ MATTHEW LEE, 
Director, International Networking, Singapore International Foundation

"Tim Hamons' awesome combination of talents (his visual acumen, his ability to reduce and synthesize hours' worth of concepts into simple, memorable picture metaphors, his uncanny sense of flow and harmony) helped make our conference sing!  We're confident our attendees' retention increased dramatically, as they kept returning to Tim's interesting artwork to review and digest the day's ideas.  Our group even loved taking home printouts of Tim's great work.  Wow, his addition to our messaging strategy was a wise move!"

~ STEVEN MAUEL, 
Creative Director - Event Organiser (P&G) 

“I have engaged Tim to work alongside us on several interventions as our visual recorder.  They range from a large-scale forum consisting more than 700 participants and a more intimate meeting of less than 20 people. Tim’s talents include his ability to capture the discussions and nuances of what is being said visually.  This energizes participants and engages them emotionally. A joy to work with, Tim is very open to exploration and new ways of working.  This makes it easier for us to create a good experience for the participants. Do feel free to contact me if you need any clarifications”.

"It is such an amazing talent to be able to capture the sequence of ideas, visualize it, put it down on paper, and then actually preserve it so that other people can learn from it. It is a wonderful talent; Well done."

~DANNY QUAH,

"As an event organizer this work enhances the value of our event, as it helps everyone to have a practical application of a different way of thinking. It helps the participants to understand more and increase the benefit from their investment in the conference."​

~ANDREW ABISHEGAM 
Managing Director and CEO of X2 Events - Khazanah Megatrends Forum Sept  2011

"These visuals bring to life the essence of what we speakers are trying to say. I love the playfulness. I think we need to learn to be more playful in what we do. What you do just speaks with the heart in ways that words can’t."

~ALVIN UNG, 
Speaker and author of “Barefoot Leader”

"These graphic creations are highly accurate in how they have captured the content, key points and other points of each presentation in a fun and memorable way for the entire audience and the speakers. I highly recommend Tim as a speaker/presenter/ consultant on team work and creative thinking in the workplace as a master graphic recorder and a visual meeting facilitator."
