Your Master Trainers
Mindwerx International (including the Buzan Centre: Australia) is led by co-founders and master trainers Bill Jarrard and Jennifer Goddard, who bring their own unique experiences and skills to assist and support you and your team.
Behind the scenes we are inspired by long time mentors Edward de Bono, a leader in critical and creative thinking, and Tony Buzan, a leader in advanced learning and study techniques. We have been using the methods both Edward and Tony developed, share many of their same goals, and have promoted and assisted others with their techniques for 25 years.
And we also draw inspiration and experience of a wide range of other great creatives and innovators, as we work with individuals and organizations to help them Think, Learn, and Innovate better.
