PATHWAY PACKAGE
Create a vision board and roadmap for your dreams, aspirations and goals in a Pathway workshop
Thinking about the future can feel incredibly daunting and something we rarely allow ourselves the time it deserves. Through person-centred facilitation and visualisation techniques I support you to identify dreams and aspirations and break down the steps to achieve them.
Either 1-2-1 or with a Circle of Support, we explore your hopes for the future, visualise how you want your life to be and break this down into stepping stones.
A supportive, nurturing and accessible experience
TESTIMONIALS
“Esther is a highly talented artist and graphic facilitator. We have worked together on many occasions now, with Esther creating her unique digital illustrations in real-time during meetings and discussion groups. Her infographics provide accessible visual documentation of evaluation activities with a lively illustration style.
With her lived experience, Esther understands the systems of support within the sectors of arts, health, heritage and social care. Esther is a kind and generous spirited consultant, while her work is always of the utmost quality.”
Susan Potter Associates, Evaluation and Research Consultancy
“Esther facilitates our Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope: PATH workshops at Project Art Works. Her facilitation skills are exemplary ensuring that individuals and their circles of support are at the very centre of the planning process.
Esther instantly puts people at ease enabling participation; through listening and questioning she swiftly translates aspirations into brilliant graphic visuals that are both empowering and a valuable advocacy tool.
All of the families we have supported through the PATH workshops have expressed their admiration and gratitude for Esther’s graphic facilitation skills, the process and outcomes have been described as ‘life-changing’ with thanks to Esther.”
Sarah Dunne, Support Collective Lead, Project Art Works
“We have worked closely with Esther to capture graphic minutes for our museum sector forums. These are often complex and multi-faceted events, which Esther has been able to digest succinctly into eye-catching, fun, and visually descriptive minutes. Esther has illustrated live for us at forums, which has added an extra level of access to delegates who process information visually.
Her beautiful visual representations have almost become a brand identity for us, as we use her images to enhance our written sector action plans, website and social media profiles. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Esther for new project outputs and beyond!”
Emily Goff, Curating for Change Project Manager
“Esther brings the vibes! We really enjoyed working with Esther over a series of three day Team Building, Vision and Strategy workshops. It was inclusive, thoughtful and insightful. We are super happy with our HUGE timeline on our office wall. We are really excited to have Esther back to run sessions with young people at our youth club.”
Sidney, Samara and Leon, Hastings Youth Commons
"I recently had a 1-2-1 Vision workshop with Esther and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who might be considering taking part.
I met Esther for two online sessions just after I had finished a long-term work project. I was at a crossroads and had lots of ideas for potential work opportunities, but frequently felt overwhelmed and needed to find some focus.
Esther’s friendly approach immediately put me at ease and I felt comfortable chatting to her about my plans and ideas for the future. Under Esther’s gentle guidance, I was able to focus on what was important to me. She helped me to identify my personal and professional goals over the next three years, before we broke them down together into clear, manageable steps.
Watching Esther sketch as we spoke was both helpful and inspiring. And I now have a personalised, hand-illustrated plan on my office wall as a beautiful visual reminder of all my personal and work goals—and how I will achieve them.
Esther’s Vision workshop has really helped me get organised and take steps towards my personal and work goals. The experience has already encouraged me to do a number of things that I had wanted to do for such a long time but had continually put off. And instead of feeling overwhelmed, I now feel excited to get started. Highly recommended!”

“What an amazing tool to unscramble all of our ideas and dreams. It worked especially well for myself as a person with a creatively, visually inclined learning style that still appreciates order and practical application.
I especially enjoyed the grounding exercises at the beginning of the workshop, it unites the group and helped us really enter the room. We are rowdy and passionate bunch of people, Esther held the space respectively and expertly.
Thank you Esther!”

“There’s power in pictures. This is something I discovered today in a 2024 visioning session with live illustrator Esther Springett.
Esther helped me to map out my vision for the year, coaching me through the process and - amazingly – simultaneously drawing what I was saying so that I was left with a beautiful visualisation of the conversation.
Images hit home, emotionally and cognitively, far more directly than words (and I say this – reluctantly – as a keen writer with zero drawing skills to speak of!)
So I’m excited about these plans becoming a reality in 2024, and I really recommend working with Esther if you’d like to map out your own vision.”
Anna, Build Your Year client
“The visioning workshop was an extremely powerful way to visualise the future. Setting deadlines and having something that can hold you to account, but also reminds you of the achievements to date, is incredibly motivating! Esther is great at holding the room.”
