Luther College Experiment Continues with Fall 2011 Students’ Idea Maps 355-357
12 Apr 2012 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
If you have been following my postings about Dr. Tim Schweizer and his management students at Luther College, you will enjoy 4 more examples from his Fall 2011 class. I have been following Tim’s work since October 2009 — shortly after he attended one of my Idea Mapping Workshops.
Tim has developed a solid process to successfully teach Idea Mapping to his students. Tim takes the first two class periods to teach Idea Mapping to his students.
The first idea mapping example was created by Kelsey Engbrecht to study for her Interpersonal Communication class. The second example is from Kaysie Petersen and she has turned her “to do” list into an idea map. Lastly Lauran Snyder used Idea Mapping to compare Iowa to California. The January 6, 2012 and February 27, 2012 postings have more examples from this class of students.
Thank you Dr. Schweizer’s Luther College students Kelsey Engbrecht, Kaysie Petersen and Lauran Snyder for sharing your idea maps.

Idea Map 354 – A Thank You Note From Jeff Sichel
10 Apr 2012 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Mapping Workshops, Mind Mapping Examples, mind mapping workshops
Jeff Sichel is a National Sales Manager with Panasonic and was one of the participants in the March 14-15, 2012 Idea Mapping Workshop. Yesterday I stopped by the post office to get the mail in my P.O. Box and this surprise was waiting for me.
Now let me put this in perspective. Jeff’s previous mapping experience was creating detailed maps using software. The idea map he created as a thank you for the workshop is completely hand-drawn. Only someone who has taken the class can appreciate the creativity, detail and large amount of information summarized on this piece of paper the size of a postcard.
Jeff — thanks for letting me share this. Great work!
Idea Map 353 – Resumes That Stand Out
7 Apr 2012 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples, Resumes
During my recent public Idea Mapping Workshop in Livonia, MI there was a flurry of interest in using idea mapping software to create resumes. This was inspired by the examples that some of the participants had previously seen on this blog (see Carl’s Giosa’s resume along with Eric Giosa’s and Kevin Nast’s).
Janet Hart was one of those who decided to turn their resume into an idea map. I’ll share her son’s (who is a senior in high school) in a following posting. Janet used NovaMind to create her resume. It was a bit of a process for her both getting used to the software as well as adding the images, but this is her final version — at least for now!
So this begs the question on whether or not to provide both a linear copy of the resume in addition to the idea map. So far the response has been positive with only providing the idea map, but know your audience and industry to be safe. There are some real die-hard left brains still out there!
If you want your resume to stand out from the crowd, we at NastGroup, Inc. can provide you with this service along with continued updates. Prices start at $199. Contact us to get started.
Luther College Idea Maps 349-352. Catching up From Spring 2011.
4 Apr 2012 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example
If you have been following my postings about Dr. Tim Schweizer and his management students at Luther College, you will enjoy 4 more examples from his Spring 2011 class. I have been following Tim’s work since October 2009 — shortly after he attended one of my Idea Mapping Workshops. I was about to finish up his Fall 2011 examples when I realized I had missed one last batch from last Spring.
Tim has developed a solid process to successfully teach Idea Mapping to his students. Tim takes the first two class periods to teach Idea Mapping to his students.
The first example from Niki Tryggestad is the summary of a portion of a book titled The Pirate’s Dilemma. The second example is from Mario Martinucci on the book Wikinomics. Thanks for sharing!
