An Idea Mapping Success Blogs Weblog
I can’t help but reflect on the devastation that WWII brought on this country. This palace was a gift to Poland from Stalin and built from 1952-1955. Although not well received at the time (and rightfully so), it has become a landmark in Warsaw and visible within a 30km radius. This palace is what I see when I look out my hotel window.
I am SO privileged this weekend to be teaching Idea Mapping and the MindManager software program to 50 of Poland’s most brilliant civil servants. These dedicated governmental employees are part of a critical effort to rebuild Poland’s infrastructure and to measure the success of those projects. This program is sponsored by the University of Warsaw, and the brain behind this effort is Warsaw University professor Karol Olejniczak, Ph.D. He is a committed part of the solution in turning Poland in the direction of continued success.
I’ll provide an update from Saturday’s training workshop after I return home.
The purpose of this blog is to share idea mapping examples and related learning from my Idea Mapping, Memory, Speed Reading, and Certification Workshops. This blog is dedicated to my Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, my clients, Mind Mapping and Idea Mapping practitioners around the globe.

What a poignant time of year to visit Poland, Jamie. I was in Amsterdam recently visiting Anna Frank’s house and it was so hard to imagine the horrors of WWII in such a beautiful, tranquil canalside street. It is certainly a time for reflection of the horrors of war.
Good luck for this weekend’s Workshop where I have no doubt that everyone will consider themselves privileged to have learnt Idea Mapping/MindManager from you.
Enjoy,
Kaye

Kaye,
Nice to hear from you! I’d love for you to share more about your trip to Amsterdam. Things slow down for me after next week. Maybe we can catch up after that.
