Cardiovascular Physiology Student Gets a 92 While Class Average Was 63. How Did He Do It?
5 Oct 2013 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Medical
Idea Map #437 was created by Chris Kordick – a pre-med student at Benedictine University. He attended my 2-day public Idea Mapping Workshop in August 2013, and I first introduced his idea maps in my September 12, 2013 posting.
Ten days ago I received an email from Chris telling me that he set the curve on his first Master’s level cardiology exam. He got a 92% while the class average was a mere 63%. This is great positive feedback and confirmation that idea maps and mind maps can help students significantly! Chris also taught a few of his classmates the idea mapping basics to see if this could work in the science field…needless to say, he says they want more!
This tool is excellent for both business professionals and students. Join me for the next 2-day public Idea Mapping Workshop in Palm Beach, FL December 11-12, 2013.
Thanks for sharing Chris! For more about Chris and his Idea Mapping journey into Med School see the post from August 12, 2015.

Idea Map 436 – 1-Year Weightlifting Program Design
12 Sep 2013 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
Chris Kordick is pre-med student at Benedictine University and a strength coach. He attended my 2-day Idea Mapping Workshop in Livonia, MI last month. During one of the workshop activities Chris created this map. Here’s what Chris said:
“Utilizing the Idea Mapping or Mind Mapping ideology has made my job as a strength coach much easier. In about 15 minutes I was able to completely plan a year long weightlifting program for one of my athletic teams. Usually this process takes me about a month of work, but in minutes I was able to outline and visually see where the weaknesses were in my programs because they were interconnected on the map. Whether this skill is utilized for business or studies, it is a tool that opens new doors to productivity and performance.”
Thanks for sharing Chris! For more about Chris and his Idea Mapping journey into Med School see the post from October 5, 2013 and August 12 2015.

2-Hour Instructional Video by Betty Edwards
30 Aug 2013 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Facebook Page, Idea Mapping Workshops, Portrait Drawings
My last posting included an example from the drawing activity in my recent 2-day public Idea Mapping Workshop. Thomas Tombros from Ontario, Canada drew a portrait of Anthony Hopkins using some of Betty Edwards techniques. Mohammed Haboubi commented on my Idea Mapping Facebook page and shared this video. For those of you who like to draw or would like to learn this is a great place to start. Betty Edwards is world-renowned for her ability to teach others to draw — especially those who think they can’t!
Portrait Drawing from the Public Idea Mapping Workshop Held in Livonia, Michigan
27 Aug 2013 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Portrait Drawings
A couple weeks ago I held a public Idea Mapping Workshop. (More details in my August 17 post.) One of the favorite activities outside of the idea mapping is around teaching participants to draw a portrait of a human face using some of the techniques taught by Betty Edwards (author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain).
The purpose of this activity is to apply a learning model taught in the workshop to a variety of new skills that most adults find difficult or impossible. It becomes an analogy for life-long learning of any skill.
This portrait of Anthony Hopkins was drawn by Thomas Tombros. Great job Thomas!

The public Idea Mapping Workshop in Livonia, MI August 7-8, 2013 was a big success and enjoyed by all.
The top photo features the participants who successfully completed this 2-day journey. The second photo was taken during an activity the afternoon of the second day. The group was brainstorming all their possible uses of idea mapping and capturing their ideas in a large idea map. In upcoming posts I will share some of these participants’ portrait drawings and idea maps.
