I teach my Idea Mapping Workshop to organizations and individuals both internationally and here in the USA. As a result participants learn amazing skills that can be applied immediately to their work and life.

I was certified as a mind mapping instructor in 1992, and was the only Senior Master Trainer and mind mapping instructor in the world representing the Buzan Centres. In 1998 my husband and I founded NastGroup, Inc. In January 2006, the Buzan Centres USA and UK closed. I then combined the rich heritage of mind mapping and removed some of the laws that had frustrated my clients for years and came up with an improved hybrid that I now call Idea Mapping. On Sept 22, 2006 my first book titled “Idea Mapping” was published by John Wiley & Sons.

To date I have taught this skill to over 18,000 professionals around the globe and have licensed over 100 certified instructors from 24 countries. I teach workshops both internationally and domestically. My clients include Boeing, CPPIB, OTPP, Dow Chemical, Ford Motor Company, Mayo Clinic, BP, ACH, L.L.Bean, ConocoPhillips, DTE Energy, Franklin Templeton, MTSU, BMC Software, and many more.  For a complete bio go to Jamie Nast Bio.

    Staffan,

    Hey! That’s a good idea. Might have to take that as a new challenge, thanks!
