PMPs (Project Management Professionals) Earn 15 PDUs For Attending the Idea Mapping Workshop
3 Sep 2009 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Project ManagementYesterday I found out that PMPs can earn 15 PDUs for attending the Idea Mapping Workshop. After receiving a certificate verifying successful completion of the 2-day workshop, PMPs can report their PDUs under Category 4 – “Other Providers”. So if you need PDUs, this would be a great chance to have a marvelous learning experience as well as earn your PDUs. Join me at one of these upcoming workshops: September 22-23, 2009 in Murfreesboro, TN, or October 13-14, 2009 in San Francisco, CA at the Mindjet Offices, or December 7-8, 2009 in Palm Beach, FL.
Here is a link that includes documentation about Category 4 PDUs, and also a video on how to report these PDUs.

Learning to Draw
24 Aug 2009 Author: Jamie Nast In: Basic Drawing, Helpful Hints, Idea Mapping WorkshopsAdding images to your idea maps enhances memory, makes them more interesting, and often times a single picture can communicate more information than many words. However based on my experience teaching the Idea Mapping Workshop to business professionals, many adults have convinced themselves that they cannot draw. If you are among those sharing that belief, I’m about to prove you wrong with a little drawing lesson.
The key to learning how to draw is to learn how to see and to break an image into small component pieces. Grab a piece of paper and let me show you an example of how to do this. My lines are not going to be perfect, so don’t expect yours to be perfect either. Start out by simply drawing a square.
Next draw in some curved lines like the inside of a television screen.
Write something or draw something on your computer screen, and connect the computer to the base.
There you have it. You can apply this same method to drawin any icons. With repitition you can draw from memory. Try this on an icon you might use in your idea maps.
Mostly Image Only Map

She put a really cool idea map up on her blog that is a tribute to her dad who had a 70+ year career as a commercial and fine artist.
Did We Read the Same Article [Map 8 in this Series and Idea Map #175]?
19 Aug 2009 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Mapping Workshops
On Septmeber 16, 2007 I posted the first idea map in this series of which this is now the 8th idea map. As part of the Idea Mapping Workshop participants read an article that summaries Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and then create an idea map of it. Each map ends up looking quite different which initially concerns people. In fact their maps should look different because they should be created based on the individuals unique purpose, previous knowledge of the material, style, and trust in their ability to remember what words and symbols meant at the time of creation. I literally had one participant think that I had tricked everyone into reading different articles on the same topic!
This idea mapping example was created by Alfred when he attended the Idea Mapping Workshop I taught at ACH last year. If you want to see the other 7 examples go to the April 10, 2009 posting where you will find the 7th example and links to the others.
