Idea Map or Mind Map about Planning for the Summer and Spring Break
16 Aug 2010 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
Idea Mapping helps two more Luther College students. The first posting for this Spring’s Idea Mapping Experiment at Luther College was May 19 where there is more background. Now get ready for Part 7!
Dr. Tim Schweizer spent one 60-minute class teaching them the concepts and guidelines of Idea Mapping. They read chapters 2-5 of the Idea Mapping book, and then spent a second 60-minute class practicing and applying their new skills.
Their assignment was to create an idea map that would be relevant to them either personally, professionally, or academically. He gave them several topic suggestions and allowed for either hand drawn or computer generated maps.
Above you will find Idea Maps #255 & #256. The top one was created by Ryan Bouslog who was trying to determine where he should spend his Spring Break. You can see that he selected four possibilities and then captured the Pros and Cons of each choice. The second one is from Teresa Procter. This idea map outlines her plans for the summer of 2010. Thank you for sharing these!
Remember: If you are a project manager and have either considered taking the PMP exam, are in the process of studying for it, have passed the exam, or gave up on the whole process — this is your chance to share your experience in this survey which takes less than 10 minutes. As a “thank you” please enter the drawing for free Amazon gift cards, free MindManager 9 software (which just came out) or an autographed copy of Idea Mapping by Jamie Nast. Full story here.

Take PMP Survey and Enter to Win Free MindManager 9 Licenses or Free Amazon Gift Cards or Free Autographed Copies of Idea Mapping Book
5 Aug 2010 Author: Jamie Nast In: SurveysTAKE SURVEY (Less then 10 minutes)
Whether you are considering the PMP certification, in the process, given up on the whole PMP, or have earned your PMP Certification — your feedback is essential to us. Please participate in a short survey to assess your personal experiences and perceptions in the PMP certification process. The purpose of the survey is to identify areas of potential improvement for those who have or are aspiring to get their PMP certification.
5 Random participants will receive a license for the new MindManager 9 software product. 10 Random participants will receive $5 (USD) Amazon.com gift cards. 2 Random participants will receive a signed copy of Jamie Nast’s book, “Idea Mapping: How to Access Your Hidden Brain Power, Learn Faster, Remember More, and Achieve Success in Business“. Many thanks for your contributions.
The PMP (Project Management Professional) Certification is one of the most valued credentials in project management. The PMP credential assures an organization that employees are committed to project management. According to a 2005 article I found on the PMI (Project Management Institute) website:
“PMI’s (Project Management Institute) PMP credential is considered by many as the “gold standard” of global project management certification. This credential, which is ISO 9001: 2000 compliant, connotes the holder as one who has demonstrated the knowledge, experience and leadership skills required to competently practice project management. During 2005, PMI has experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of practitioners taking the PMP examination, resulting in 86,925 PMPs being certified during this 12 month period…”

Carl’s personal contact info has been deleted for his protection, but this would obviously need to be included for all resumes.
Some of our clients are using this format exclusively and others are providing employers with both the standard resume AND the Profile Map.
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.

Keyboard Face Matrix
9 Jul 2010 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, mind mapping workshops
<:o) ):ol I’ve never seen anything like this before — let me explain. Every year I teach an Idea Mapping Workshop in December in Palm Beach, Florida. Vanda North joins us if she’s in town, previously certified instructors often join in the fun and of course we always get to meet new participants and learn from them as well. For whatever reason I did not finish sharing about last December’s Palm Beach events, so this is overdue and will take a few postings.
One of the more interesting tidbits of knowledge came from one of the new participants, Tracey Lyon. During a portion of the workshop I teach a basic drawing lesson so that they can more easily add images to their Idea Maps. Tracey drew this matrix for us of face emotions based on keyboard keystrokes. We all thought it was brilliant! To see Tracey’s Idea Map Christmas card click here.
Join us for the upcoming public Idea Mapping Workshops August 11-12 in Livonia, Michigan or August 19-20 in Montreal, Canada or December 6-7, 2010 in Palm Beach, Florida.
