Brain Games. Can you guess these names?
20 Apr 2016 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Name Tent Activity
Here’s a brain game for you! Can you guess these names?
Last week I taught two 2-day Idea Mapping Workshops for Boeing in Renton, WA. For those of you who have been through this workshop, you know the class starts out immediately with an activity similar to the game of Concentration.
Each workshop participant is asked to draw a picture of their name using color, images, numbers and either adding or subtracting letters. I like to collect some of them and then see if you can guess their names. The name tents only represent the first names of the participants.
Purpose of this activity is to immediately set the stage for a class that is far from the norm, get creative juices flowing, to put people in an uncomfortable situation (because many say they cannot draw), and it acts as a baseline for the drawing activities that are introduced later in the course.
The answers are posted here. Have fun!

Boeing 2015 – A Look Back at 8 Idea Mapping Workshops
13 Jan 2016 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Mapping Workshops, YouTube Videos
Last year I was honored to teach 8 2-day Idea Mapping Workshops to Boeing employees in the Seattle, WA area, St. Louis, MO and Huntington Beach, CA.
I created this Animoto slideshow video as a tribute to those first 8 workshops. Photos were only taken in non-Boeing training facilities. Some of the idea maps were sent to me after the workshops.
I’m looking forward to the next 6 classes scheduled for this Spring.
Honeymoon Photos Recreated During 25th Wedding Anniversary
9 Jan 2016 Author: Jamie Nast In: Uncategorized
Can’t resist posting the photos we took during our 25th wedding anniversary celebration in November. We returned to Kauai to stay at the same resort where we honeymoon 25 years ago.
A hurricane in 1992 changed a bit of the landscape in a few locations, the Beach House restaurant expanded and the trees grew, but everything else was pretty when we were there in 1990. Following are four pairs of photos taken in the same location in 1990 (pre-digital cameras!) and again in 2015.
Name Tent Activity for Boeing Workshops. Can you guess these names?
4 Nov 2015 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Name Tent Activity
I recently taught 8 2-day Idea Mapping Workshops at Boeing. For those of you who have been through this workshop, you know the class starts out immediately with an activity similar to the game of Concentration. Each workshop participant is asked to draw a picture of their name using color, images, numbers and either adding or subtracting letters. Let’s see if you can guess these names. These are first names only except for the second name tent which is first and last.
Purpose of this activity is to immediately set the stage for a class that is far from the norm, get creative juices flowing, to put people in an uncomfortable situation (because many say they cannot draw), and it acts as a baseline for the drawing activities that are introduced later in the course.
No fair clicking on the image in a new browser and revealing the file name!

Great time had by all during the first class, so I thought I would share a few photos.
Jenny was capturing ideas for the group Idea Mapping activity in the first photo. A little bit of craziness in the second photo. Showing off some idea maps and toys in the third photo.
