August colouring

Colouring for grown ups seems to be the new trend. The stands in the bookstores are full of colouring books that promise that by getting some nice coloured pens and colouring in their designs you will colour your way to happiness and Zen-like calm. Some of my positive psychology friends swear by colouring. Others I know use it to help them sleep at night. So, I chuckled when I got this feedback from a black and white cartoon I did when  I was a cartoonist-in-residence in August at a course on facilitation skills. ​"This is absolutely brilliant! I have already shared it with my co-facilitators for a workshop we’re doing on Friday and told them that their homework is to print it out and colour it in!"

Now, that's my kind of homework! And what a great way for participants on any course to get some added learning and reinforcement. Viva colouring!
