Daniel Pink Meets Kevin Nast
24 Feb 2017 Author: Jamie Nast In: Books
One of my all-time favorite books is “A Whole New Mind” written by best-selling author Daniel Pink. I created an idea map of this book and sent it to Daniel when I first read his book. He kindly replied. A few years later I discovered that one of my high school friends Carol Ross went to Northwestern University with Daniel. She surprised me with an autographed copy of his book “Drive” following an event she had sponsored with Daniel as a speaker.
Today my husband Kevin Nast is getting some advanced training at AssetMark and Daniel Pink was the guest speaker. Kevin had Daniel autograph my copy of his book “To Sell is Human”.

EDS Idea Mapping and Mind Mapping Memories
7 Feb 2017 Author: Jamie Nast In: Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, Dave Gunby, Debbie Showler
I was introduced to Mind Mapping through one of the first Mind Matters Workshops taught at EDS back in February of 1992. My fellow Leadership Development colleague (Randy Raines) was the instructor. I was so impacted by the class that I soon became an instructor for the course myself.
In June of that same year Randy and I headed to Whitby, Ontario to teach the 2-day Mind Matters Workshop at another EDS location. We enjoyed our usual dinner at Shrimp Cocktail and had Debbie Showler in one of our workshops – who also became an instructor for the course later that year.
Dave Gunby was also one of the original EDS Mind Matters instructors and was based out of Plano, Texas. Dave started his own company in 1997 and is still teaching Idea Mapping among other things. Kim Cordes joined the instructor team from Lansing Michigan and later started her own company called Blooming Brains.
I ran across this old photo from probably 20+ years ago when the 5 of us were all able to be together for the first and only time in Palm Beach, FL. It brought back fond memories of our time together and also with Vanda North – our mentor.

Back in Poland with Friends and Idea Mapping Workshops
7 Nov 2016 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops
Poland’s city of Warsaw has grown to be one of my favorite places in the world. Not just because I’m priveledged to teach Idea Mapping for the 8th Academy of Evaluation, but because of the people I’ve come to care about so much.
Although I forgot to take a photo, I was thrilled to have dinner with friends Dr. Karol Olejniczak (highly decorated and constantly blossoming academic) and his talented wife Molly (who was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana like me). We ate at Informal and I tried beef cheeks for the first time! They were delicious.
Dr. Karol Olejniczak is most recently known for his participation in the development of a highly successful interactive game called: Knowledge Brokers in Action — A Game-Based Approach for Strengthening Evidence-Based Polices.
Next posting I’ll share photos from the Idea Mapping class of the 8th Academy of Evaluation.
Idea Map 479 – Upcoming Women’s Renewal Retreat
14 Sep 2016 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Mapping Workshops
Dr. Jennifer Wild is the Founder of Alternate Perspectives, and she attended one of my Idea Mapping Workshop 3 weeks ago. During the class she created this Idea Map about her upcoming Women’s Renewal Retreat to be held at the beautiful Goodstone Inn just outside of Middleburg, VA.
Just for fun I created my own spin on this retreat using MindManager. I think hers is much more interesting! If anyone wants the MindManager version with all the links, just pop me an email.
I’m sure there will be lots of growth, learning, and excitement for those who will be attending this retreat.

1 Sep 2016 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops
Last week I taught a public Idea Mapping Workshop in Northville, MI. We used some office space in Northville Square just a few doors down from my husband’s office (NastGroup Financial) in the same mall. In these photos you can see the beginning of the set-up process and the resulting class.
Over the next few postings I’ll share some more class photos and a video. Thanks to everyone who attended. Fun time of learning had by all!
