CREATIVITY, VISUAL FACILITATION & GRAPHIC RECORDING

Facilitation is a participatory process whereby a facilitator assists a group in achieving specific goals, making decisions, or solving problems collaboratively and efficiently.A facilitator is a neutral figure whose primary role is to create an environment where participants can communicate openly, express their opinions, and work together constructively.This process helps improve the participation of group members, fosters creativity, and achieves more effective and shared results through the creation of co-designed processes.

"Gianpietro is probably one of the best design thinking facilitators, mentors and coaches I have had the pleasure to work with. He is incredibly compassionate, and empathetic, really understands people's needs, asks the right questions and has been a pleasure to have in our hackathons or work with on other projects. He truly is a rare gem!"Elena Sinel,
Social Entrepreneur

Gianpietro is an excellent facilitator. Working with him has taught me that it can be an art form. He is very creative and is able to think as laterally as he can think deeply. He can come up with the right exercise for the right moment to bring out the most innovative ideas. Yet at the sametime he has a great respect for rules and structure. The workshops are always well time managed and he can stick well within any constraints or criteria given. He seems to be equally comfortable on zoom and offline.

I have also had the privilege of attending his walking coaching sessions which were extremely helpful. Once again that experience is out of the ordinary and presents a new perspective compared to just another zoom flat coaching call.Gianpietro is also very personable and cares about the people he comes into contact with, which is what makes him a great community builder as well.Overall I endorse Gianpietro for all the great work that he does and I hope collaborate with him more in the future.Rohan,
Workshop Facilitator and Entrepreneur

I've known Gianpietro in his various roles as a facilitator, coach and ecosystem manager for the MakeSense London hub.Gianpietro has that rare skill of being able to bring his energy to a room full of people yet still ensure everyone's voice is heard. As a coach, he is an exceptional active listener and knows how to hold the space with a client so that they feel safe to share what's on their mind.His wit and humour coupled with his determination to deliver makes him a very enjoyable and reliable person to work with!Rachel,
Product Manager

Gianpietro organised a participative design thinking session for the branding of my food startup.He gathered about 20 people and drove the group through the process with great energy!Time management was very good and he made sure to support everyone's ideas.Sophie,
Social Entrepreneur

"Gianpietro has been my mentor during my time in London. Between 2015 and 2017, I have been involved in the London hub of Makesense - a worldwide community of social entrepreneurs and active citizens- where I met Gianpietro, energetic community coordinator and facilitator. Everything I know about design thinking and facilitation techniques comes from Gianpietro's teachings.During my time at Makesense London I have assisted to several creativity workshops run by Gianpietro, who helped participants coming up with creative solutions for social entrepreneurs' challenges. Gianpietro has also helped me coming up with a clearer business plan for one of my projects and he has taught me how to facilitate a workshop. Thanks to him, I have been able to launch Makesense Milan! I have also been involved as tester/workshop participant in some of his other facilitation and strategy development projects for new startups.

In every different organization/project is facilitation skills are exceptional: he is able to enable active listening skills of participants, even the most impulsive ones, handling many types of characters and different cultural backgrounds. He is able to instill trust in design thinking processes, even for the most skeptical participants/entrepreneurs (and I have seen many of them!) and guide them towards defining their strategy. He is very calm, professional and funny, making the working process really pleasant, at the same time extremely useful and enlightening. He has a great empathy and able to appreciate and value the different characteristics of each individual he is working with (and he remembers the names of his workshops' participants - impressive skill!).

To sum it up, Gianpietro was born to be a facilitator and a coach and I am very thankful to have met such a person in my professional path. "Filomena,
Community Manager

My journey in coaching began unexpectedly in 2017. At the time, I was not envisioning a career as a coach, but I was seeking new ways to support the participants of my workshops.I wanted to help them reflect on their experiences and take actionable steps through guided questioning.This initial foray into coaching has led me to where I am today, with over 850 hours of coaching practice, more than 160 hours of formal coaching education, and the creation of several signature workshops rooted in my other passions. I have facilitated over 100 workshops, each a testament to the transformative power of coaching.

"The workshop was unlike anything I’ve ever done before, mixing two different areas: coaching and photography.Every aspect had been so well thought out and curated, from exploring a personal challenge to framing it creatively to exploring it using a mix of mediums (photography and external natural surroundings).It was an innovative way of exploring something deeply personal to me with the right amount of guidance but without disclosing it. I would never have used photography to think so deeply about something before but he'd crafted the workshop for all levels of photography (I am a total amateur).It was a new way of looking at things from many angles which opened up my thinking.

The way he facilitated was adjusted to me as an individual, and sensitive to my energy levels throughout the workshop.I could tell he was incredibly experienced and I left with a lot to reflect on and it didn't hit me until a few days later how much of an impact the workshop had had on me.I later implemented some changes in my life based on this workshop and highly recommend it to anyone!"Rachel,
Product Manager

"The Lens to Self-training was one of the most unique workshops I've attended; it built a rare opportunity to connect with other participants, and to myself, in an open and vulnerable way without being overwhelmed.Gianpietro was gentle and eased us into the process with a calm friendliness that immediately helped us to trust in him and the process. It was clear he was able to adapt the pace and type and path of activities based on our energy and dynamic.Then through a series of other mixed activities - ranging from solo to pair to group, walking to sitting, taking photographs to take notes, listening to others or showing our work - we went on a journey through better understanding the problem to find ways to address it.

I wrote a poem at one point in the workshop that has now become the opening poem in my first book!
This speaks only to the quality of space and care Gianpietro brings to all of his facilitation spaces.The Workshop was an innovative format which was delivered by a facilitator who has invented a unique format which represents who he is as a person and what he is good at.He had the perfect mix of giving space to giving guidance and the reason I think he is innovative is because there is nothing out there like it - the facilitator is unique as a person and his workshops all deeply reflect this.Josiane,
Programme Lead Social Innovation

"Gianpietro's thought-provoking questions used in the workshop ignited deep self-reflection, leading to a lot of deep work and a greater understanding of my vision."Micaela,
Lawyer

Gianpietro is one of the most effective coaches I have met, and a person for whom I have developed the utmost respect. His integrity shines through him, and his commitment to coaching and human development is a passion that extends throughout every aspect of every interaction with him.He is able to manage complex group dynamics, with people of all types, including those regarded as all but recalcitrant. His skills at mediation and conciliation are, in my estimation, without compare amongst the consultants I have worked with.I recommend him wholeheartedly and without any hesitation.Jonathan,

"I recommend Gianpietro's Workshop to my Londoners who are interested in coaching or have a specific problem/challenge you are tackling.
Gianpietro has put together something novel, the workshop is a condensed, slow-pace opportunity for a focus on your chosen area, with tools I hadn’t used before in the context of problem-solving or coaching, that I found working on a deep level in helping me understand my challenge, chart a path and move forward.
I am still thinking about a breakthrough I had during one of the exercises.
The timing was perfect for me so I’m really glad I chose to do this!"Stavroula,
Tech Professional

"I met Gianpietro when I joined MakeSense, a vibrant community of 35000 engaged and passionate citizens, entrepreneurs and organizations to solve social issues; he was very welcoming and supported me from day one. He inspired me with his constant high energy, generosity and creativity.For over a year, we created events focused on food and social entrepreneurship, he was a teacher, a coach, a friend and a colleague. From him, I learnt a lot about how to organise and facilitate playful workshops using design thinking methodologies, I also learnt from his strong will of delivering an excellent work in all circumstances, to facilitate a workshop or to teach something, he never ran out of empathy, patience and resourcefulness. Giving feedback, his honesty and enthusiasm were priceless.

Beyond myself, I witnessed how he was able to inspire the MakeSense London Hotspot members, experimenting with new ways to engage, train and support everyone willing to co-create the common good.Building communication campaigns or collaboration tools, his hard work, altruism and passion were contagious.Beyond MakeSense, he is always here to provide very precious advice and support."Adrien,
Climate Change Facilitator

"Gianpietro’s insightful and strategic ability to pick apart my business plan enabled me to see blind spots and realise where I needed to focus.With every kindest encouragement, GP is nurturing but posed tough challenges to highlight where I really needed to work.Most of all workshopping with GP in group-based activities and on a one-to-one basis is really fun and allows you the space to be with your idea and get really creative.In group work, with other like-minded teams and founders, I was able to cross-pollinate ideas with others, allowing the rare opportunity to see the shape of things holistically.I would really recommend taking part in workshops or training on a one-to-one basis if you’d like to re-energise, refocus and recharge yourself, either if you’re a business leader or part of a team."Joyce,
Social Entrepreneur

"Through the workshop's coaching approach, thought-provoking questions, and silence, I gained a deeper understanding of myself, which translated into more authentic self-expression.
Gianpietro Created a truly powerful safe container for exercising my intuition and helping me reflect on a very important personal problem."Unexpected.Jo,
Marketing Director

"Gianpietro applied his experience in Design Thinking to our Cafe from Crisis chain. He demonstrated great skill understanding the pain points of our business and was able to bring clarity to a very muddled workflow.Once he understood our pain points in great detail he used his network and facilitation skill to bring the right experts to the conversation.Within the span of an evening we were able to identify many possible solutions to our workflow problem. We were left with a clear plan of implementation and a lot of support to fall back on.I can highly recommend Gianpietro to anyone who is looking to use Design Thinking to solve their challenges.Felix,
Head of Impact Investment

"Gianpietro is a person who wears many hats, all of them extremely well. I have had the opportunity to work with Gianpietro on many occasions, in his roles as a coach, as a facilitator, and as MakeSense's coordinator for London.He has a fantastic ability to put everyone at ease and comfortable with sharing, he is a clear communicator and a very good facilitator who can keep a session focused.In his role as the London coordinator for MakeSense, Gianpietro has always been a great energiser for the community. He is extremely reliable and an all-round great person to work with!!"Gabi,

As a lifelong visual thinker, I have always been driven by the power of visual communication to enhance awareness, understanding, engagement, and collaboration. My journey began with the influence of my Mother, a kindergarten teacher who was exceptionally skilled in arts and crafts. This early exposure fostered a fervent imagination and a deep appreciation for creative expression.Although my academic path led me through subjects far from art, such as economics, I excelled in reflecting on complex concepts through visual means.In late 2018, I rediscovered my passion for visual note-taking, which has since become an integral part of my life and work, or at least something that brings even more joy in what i do.

Haiku for Impact is a participatory creative project that uses haiku poetry to promote social impact organizations around the world. Starting from an unexpected medium, poetry, we aim to raise awareness about critical social and environmental issues and inspire action.
At the same time we organise creative art workshops that focus on different subject of business, sustainability and Social Impact.

I use photography as a medium and a tool to give voice to marginalized communities and organizations that want to tackle social and environmental problems, telling stories that are not often told in mainstream media formats. I believe that story work, specifically story listening, is a very effective tool for understanding how individuals, communities, and organizations create and act on knowledge.

My Approach: Giving Voice to the Unheard

My visual storytelling work is divided between my photography and my activity as a Creative Participatory Facilitator. I centre my body of work around crossing the boundaries among Social Impact, dialogue, and human conditions.

Impact and Engagement: Documenting Agents of Change

When I work with Social Entrepreneurs, Charities, Tech for Good Startups, Grassroots and Social Movements across Europe and Africa, documenting their ways to be Agents of Change, relevant work is about deeply listening to their stories.

What I'm Building and my Role

As a founder of the project, my efforts right now are focused on creating a comprehensive support system that goes beyond medical facts. It's about finding the right kind of support—a community that understands, a space that lets you be yourself.Weekly Community Online Zoom Calls: We host deep and exploratory online sessions using powerful coaching questions, dialogue, writing, and creative exercises.

Beyond the CV is a Sketchnoting project I started during the Pandemic Lockdown, to support and give a tiny present to friends and former colleagues.By combining artistic expression, in-depth reflective coaching questions and (sometimes) a coaching session, I create unique visual narratives that capture the essence of individuals, couples, and teams far beyond traditional resume formats, highlighting values, passion and personal legacy.

My Approach: Artful Storytelling for Authentic Representation

I use a blend of creative coaching techniques and visual art to uncover and illustrate the core values, experiences, and aspirations that make each person or team unique. This process results in a powerful, personalized A4 artwork that serves as a visual biography and statement of purpose

Based on a following survey, Participants in Beyond the CV report increased self-awareness, confidence, and ability to articulate their unique value proposition, moreover one of the highest impacts for them was the possibility to slow down and reflect on impactful questions and see themselves differently through a Visual Representation.So far 30 people were portraited.
