Idea Mapping - How to Access Your Hidden Brain Power, Remember More, and Achieve Success in Business

Idea Mapping is a simple and profound tool that helps individuals and organizations improve planning, creativity, thinking and learning, while simultaneously producing incredible results.  An Idea Map is a colorful, single-page visual that captures your thinking in key words and images.

This technique will give you the ability to more competently plan, organize, communicate, remember, innovate, and learn -- and accomplish these faster than ever before!  By engaging both hemispheres of the brain, this non-linear approach will free you to think, see, and understand far more efficiently than when using a multi-page, document outlining the same information.  The associative process that Idea Mapping uses will clarify your thinking, is easy to learn, and mirrors how the brain naturally connects information.   

For examples, hints, and up-to-date information see www.ideamappingsuccess.com and www.ideamapping.ideamappingsuccess.com

The Idea Mapping book (John Wiley & Sons, September 2006) was written by Jamie Nast based on her experience in applying and teaching others to apply this tool in business and life. It includes examples and stories from 21 people around the globe, and is available at amazon.com, bn.com, and your local bookstores. To date Jamie has taught over 19,000 professionals globally.

Idea Map 262 Shares How a College Student Memorized Chemistry Guidelines | Idea Mapping
Idea Mapping has been helping Luther College students since the fall 2009 semester. This is the first example from the fall 2010 classes.

This Idea Map was created by Shelby Eaton about one of her chemistry lessons. Here's what she said about this Idea Map:

?When I made this idea map, we had just started some basic chemistry guidelines that I was having trouble memorizing and keeping straight. By creating an idea map for this material, it really made me sit down and figure out all of the different rules that I had been having trouble with, which considerably helped. I have been tested over this material, and I found that section on the test to be quite easy.?

Memory Power

A Workshop You'll Never Forget

This 1-day workshop teaches the foundational skills necessary for exceptional success in utilizing your memory, and applying these skills to your work and life.

During this course you will learn the principles of memory and apply them to remembering 10 items, 20 items, a deck of 52 cards, names and faces, and finally 50 items. After you amaze yourself with your new skills, you'll discover business and life applications.
Link to All Course Details
Call 1-734-207-5287 or toll free within the USA at 1-866-896-1024 to schedule a workshop for your organization today.
Memory Power Workshop Abstract
The purpose of this course is to teach individuals how to effectively gain and retain knowledge, improve productivity and focus, and increase their ability to learn more efficiently by teaching them memory skills. See this abstract for more details.

Memory & Speed Reading Workshop

This is similar to the Memory Power workshop, but from roughly 2-4:30pm speed reading skills are introduced rather than going deeper into additional memory tools. This provides a bit of both skills if you like the option of variety.

In a recent workshop at ACH, one participant memorized a deck of 52 cards (in order) in 7 minutes with only one mistake. Another individual memorized 50 items in 8 minutes perfectly. There were others close to these success rates as well. Would you like to improve your memory? You can!

Jamie's Teaching Travels

Speaking at conferences and teaching the Idea Mapping workshop has provided opportunities for me to travel around the world. I'll feature an occasional city from my above travel schedule, and make some recommendations. If it's a first-time visit, I'll report afterwards.

Every September I teach several workshops for MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN. I'd like to share a new favorite that I tried for the first time in Nashville. I like the DoubleTree when staying in Murfreesboro, but this time I spent the last night in The Hampton Inn just minutes from the Nashville airport. It was lovely, clean, convenient, had a shuttle to the airport, and a nice breakfast in the AM. Highly recommended.

Palm Beach in December -- What could be better?
