3-Hour Memory Power Workshop at Fiddler’s Creek in Naples, FL
6 Dec 2022 Author: Jamie Nast In: Memory Workshops
While meeting people at the Fiddler’s Creek pool, if I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it 100 times — “I’m terrible at remembering names, so I may have to ask you several times before I remember.”
That became the motivation to dust off my Memory Power Workshop. My first class at Fiddler’s Creek will be January 30, 2023. Registration is now open for Fiddler’s Creek Members only at https://www.fiddlerscreekmembers.com.
See more details about this workshop in the above flier. The cost of this class is $59 per person.

Idea Map or Mind Map For Vacation Planning. Example 484 – 485.
13 Jul 2020 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example
Here are two Idea Mapping examples used for vacation planning. The first one was actually created by me for a trip we took to Las Vegas. It was organized by day, which show we were seeing, times, and distance from the hotel.
The second Idea Map was created by one of my Boeing clients Tonya Deines. She was planning a trip to the Bahamas. Her map took a different approach. She included flight times, packing, scheduled events, and links to photos of their trip.
Next time you need to plan a trip try using an Idea Map to organize your getaway!
More Idea Maps from Luther College Principles of Management Students. Examples 480-483.
21 Jan 2020 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
These Idea Mapping examples are from Dr. Tim Schweizer’s Principles of Management students. I have been blogging about Tim’s work with his students since October 2009 — shortly after he attended one of my Idea Mapping Workshops. Search this blog on “Luther College” for more examples. I will share more in the days that follow.
Tim has developed a solid process to successfully teach Idea Mapping to his students. Each semester Tim takes the first two class periods to teach this tool to his students. Their first assignment is to create a map with “Who Am I?” as the topic. You can see many of those examples on this blog. Their second assignment is a take home assignment to create an idea map on their topic of choice – something personally relevant. More of these here. Sometimes there is a third assignment asking them to overview a business book and then capture their thoughts and reactions in an idea map. More of these here.
The first idea map in this posting is from Ben Harney about a cycling trip through Panama. Next idea map is from Elisabeth Athas. She used this tool to develop her character as a nurse in the show “A Thread in the Dark.” Next is a map from Claudia Calderon about Bolivia. The last idea map is about training for a triathlon by Dan Anderson.
Sure wish I’d learned Idea Mapping when I was in college. Thank you Ben, Elisabeth, Dan and Claudia for sharing your maps!
