“How long should I spend drawing my Mind Map?” And I as any good consultant, the answer is … It depends!
When first thinking of a Mind Map, determine your purpose and then see if you want to draw it in software using iMindMap, on a whiteboard, on A3/A4 paper or even on the back of an envelope.
Here is a Mind Map Rob in New Zealand drew after being inspired by a short talk I gave at the NZ Creativity Conference in New Plymoth.
He then flew to Australia to attend our public programs on Mind Mapping and Speed Reading where he told me of this Mind Map. Just had to take a picture of it
He sent me this email today…
“Hi Jennifer & Bill,
A big thank you for a valuable and fun two days Mind Mapping & Speed Reading delivered by Jennifer.
Two weeks after the course we are already seeing real improved outcomes in both our business and private.
Mind Maps are so amazingly flexible for so many topics (thinking, discussion, business planning, negotiations, note taking, facilitation) it’s better to ask what we don’t use them for.
And as well as a ‘fun’ factor holding peoples attention, we find we get a focussed discussion leading to often clearer insight and real results in a fraction of the time we had before.
The speed reading course was also very insightful, and the seemingly simple tools means we now get through much more information, all with increased focus and retention.
The best IT value by far this year was for these neck-top computer upgrades! 🙂
BTW: That quick 5 minute literally back–of–an–envelope Mind Map Jennifer thought so funny she took a picture, ended updelivering negotiation value paying for the course!! “
