This 2-day workshop is December 7-8, 2009 at the Palm Beach Hotel. Eventful forced the Four Seasons into this listing for some reason. Registration must be made in advance of this event. Course Abstract for "Idea Mapping: A Learning Workshop" "Being adaptable in a flat world, knowing how to "learn how to learn," will be one of the most important assets any worker can have..." Thomas Friedman -- Author of The World is Flat, page 239 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION - This course teaches foundational skills necessary for exceptional success in leadership, creativity, thinking, and learning in business and life. This workshop focuses on building your skills in these areas so that you can apply them immediately to your profession and life. This is NOT a lecture-driven, PowerPoint, theory-filled, boring training class! It is an exciting, activity-driven, skill-building, multi-sensory adventure in learning to use your brain more effectively and efficiently! You will experience significant improvement while learning skills that most adults believe to be difficult, if not impossible. Two of those skills are not discussed in the content of this abstract, so that they are a surprise for you during the course! You will truly amaze yourself. Creating idea maps is one of the central components of this workshop. This tool is based on Jamie Nast's book titled Idea Mapping: How to Access Your Hidden Brain Power, Learn Faster, Remember More, and Achieve Success in Business (John Wiley & Sons 2006). Other topics covered include creativity, memory, and a model for learning. This learning model is then applied to learning all of the other skills offered in this course. You will also be introduced to Mindjet's MindManager software. These two days are just the beginning of a learning journey that can continue for a lifetime! Get ready to revolutionize your thinking during this mind-expanding workshop! AUDIENCE - For anyone who desires to unleash their own learning potential and learn innovative approaches for addressing today's business and educational issues. LENGTH - Two days; 8:30am - 5:00pm. Pre-registration is required. OBJECTIVES - At the end of this workshop participants will be able to: 1. Create idea maps 2. Think more clearly, creatively and efficiently 3. Apply learning process theory to overcome mental blocks that inhibit learning, and apply this model to learning several new skills 4. Identify and implement personal and business applications of idea mapping and other skills learned during this workshop WHAT IS IDEA MAPPING? - Idea mapping has a rich foundation in Mind Mapping®, originated by Tony Buzan in the 1960's. Tony defines it this way: "A mind map harnesses the full range of cortical skills - word, image, number, logic, rhythm, color and spatial awareness - in a single, uniquely powerful technique. In doing so, it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanse of your brain." Idea mapping is a hybrid tool that combines the positives of the mind-mapping laws with the freedom to break them. The feedback from sceptical, overworked, linearly-trained business professionals has caused the creation of idea maps as the practical, flexible, and more usable version of mind maps. Once the rules and techniques of idea mapping are established and learned, you'll be breaking every one of them to make these maps apply to you in the most effect way possible. You will be the creator of the style and rules that work for you! IDEA-MAPPING APPLICATIONS -This technique may be applied to every aspect of your job and life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance performance. The applications of idea maps are numerous, but following are some of the more typical uses: Strategic planning Creating & delivering presentations Meeting agendas & summaries Project management Consolidating complex information Team & individual data collection Performance reviews Developing organizational & individual vision Solve problems Book or article summaries Decision making Marketing strategies Planning events (or anything!) Planning & delivering courses Taking notes Sales processes Proposal summaries for clients Creating a book of knowledge on any topic Mapping a to-do list Managing complex information Bringing clarity to a crisis situation Assimilate large volumes of information quickly Idea maps enhance your ability to make connections synergistically among widely disparate events, ideas and information by providing a way to simultaneously see the "big picture" and the connections between ideas at the same time. For examples of Idea Maps from other business people around the globe business around the globeclick here or go to the Idea Mapping Blog. course benefitsCOURSE BENEFITS - You will improve your performance by improving your: Planning Creativity Learning and thinking capabilities Productivity Memory Brainstorming Note taking Problem solving Thought organization Mental efficiency Motivation Ability to break through mental barriers Communication Concentration Ability to learn new skills The tools you learn in this class will also save you time!
