Spring Forward - Make Your Visual Roadmap
Ready to spring forward into a year of purpose, clarity and growth?
Join me in a nurturing and transformative 1-2-1 online workshop designed to help you craft a visual roadmap to take you through to 2025.
Welcome to "Spring Forward" – a graphic facilitated visual planning workshop designed especially for the vibrant season of renewal!
Have you found yourself unprepared to set New Year's intentions in January, but now feel a surge of motivation?
As new shoots begin to bloom and the world awakens from its winter slumber, it's the perfect time to harness the energy of spring and chart a course for those untapped dreams and aspirations.
Visualise Your Path
Say goodbye to overwhelming lists and spreadsheets. Through guided visualisation exercises, you'll clarify your goals for 2024 and beyond as I bring them to life in real-time through live illustration.
Personalised Guidance
This isn't a one-size-fits-all workshop. With 1-2-1 facilitation, you'll receive tailored support every step of the way. As a person-centred facilitator, I listen attentively and ask thoughtful questions with compassion and care. This enables me to create a supportive and nurturing environment where you can express yourself freely and explore your thoughts, feelings and aspirations.
Cultivate Growth
Just as spring breathes new life into the world, "Spring Forward" nurtures your personal and professional growth, empowering you to blossom and reveal your authentic essence.
Create Your Roadmap
Leave behind the uncertainty and confusion. With your custom visual roadmap in hand, you'll navigate with confidence, purpose, and a clear direction.
Studies show that if you write down your goals and commit them to paper, you are 42% more likely to achieve them compared to those who don't.
Make it Visual
Visuals have a remarkable staying power in our minds compared to text and spoken words. Research suggests that our brains process visual information 60,000 times faster than text, and visuals are retained in long-term memory more effectively. This is because visuals tap into our innate ability to interpret and understand complex information rapidly, making them highly memorable and impactful.
What People Say
“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 Levy, Career Coach and Mother
“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!”
Katy, Researcher and Mother
“I loved working with Esther to map out my vision for the coming year.
I'd seen her recommended by a fellow coach & intuitively I just felt 'yes that was for me' And it was.
I actively encourage my clients to create vision boards yet there is something fabulously useful & impactful about Esther guiding you & her creatively drawing as we go, producing a wonderful visual of your vision & plan. She asks the questions to get you clear & so skilfully draws out the key parts, converting them into wonderful visual images - what a skill.
My year plan is now up on a wall in my office. I see it everyday, it reminds me of what's key. I love it! I highly recommend Esther. Highly professional & so easy to work with.”
Claire Palmer, Master Certified Coach

Here’s What I Bring
With over a decade of experience in facilitation and leadership within the arts, cultural and social landscape, I work with a range of individuals to propel ideas into action.
I am a passionate visual communicator and believe in the power of visual learning to increase understanding, promote accessibility and empower people. Through visual scribing and workshop facilitation, I combine my drawing and advocacy skills to create visuals which are used as powerful tools for change.
How Advocacy informs my approach
I am a trained Independent Advocate with a background in Community Care, Learning Disability and Mental Health. My facilitation technique is informed by the principles of advocacy.
Independent Advocacy seeks to empower individuals to communicate their hopes, wishes and needs in a way that protects their rights and leads to greater choice, control and a reduction in social isolation. At the heart of Independent Advocacy is a commitment to social inclusion, equality and social justice.
I apply the principles of advocacy in my workshops to:
work in a person-centred way, listen to the individual and give space and quiet time to fully allow views and wishes to be expressed
maintain clarity of purpose - i.e. not to give advice or uphold an opinion.
promote independence in a way that does not lead to pre-determined outcomes.
make information accessible in the form of visual aids
hold space for individuals to feel safe
