An Idea Mapping Success Blogs Weblog
An open public Idea Mapping Workshop has been added to Jamie’s 2007 travel schedule. The dates will be July 19-20, 2007. Registration is now open.
UBAM has their offices in Chicago, IL. In their recent newsletter to members (Volume 2, Issue 4), Idea Mapping was listed as one of three book recommendations for Fall 2006. Thanks UBAM!
Mike has contributed 2 more maps. Go to http://www.ideamappingsuccess.com/book.cfm and then click on “Client Idea Maps”. The one titled “Career Map” represents some of Mike’s mental turmoil as he faces the possibility of losing his job at Ford (due to the major current downsizing efforts). Some of the branches are becoming maps of their own as he explores options in more detail.
The second map titled “Performance Review Preparation” was a mini brainstorming session to prepare for writing his performance review. Enjoy seeing and learning from these idea maps!
This fall I taught 2 workshops for Ford Motor Company. Now that the participants have had a chance to apply some of their learning, I’m beginning to receive some of their examples. If you go to http://www.ideamappingsuccess.com/book.cfm and click on “Client Idea Maps”, you will find new maps by Mike Kline and Jennifer Webb. Both of Mike’s maps were created after the workshop. For comparison purposes, Jennifer shares 2 maps that she created prior to the workshop and a third one created afterward. It’s quite a transformation. She is using this third map to study for an accounting exam and will share her grade with us soon!
In the workshop participants are taught a learning model and then have opportunities to apply this to learning new skills. These non-artists find out they CAN draw. Both Mike and Jennifer share their portraits as well. Great job to both!
John Wiley & Sons announced yesterday that the license to foreign translation rights has been granted to The Electronic Times in South Korea. This information is hot off the press, so I don’t know an exact publication date yet. I will pass along that information when I get it!
Click here for photos and descriptions of the November 16, 2006 Idea Mapping workshop for the SLI. I’ll post photos of other workshops as they are available.
Purdue’s Krannert School of Management publishes The Krannert Magazine twice a year and sends it to their 30,000+ alumni around the globe. The November 2006 edition featured an article on Idea Mapping titled “From Idea to Action“. Included in the column were 3 maps and the stories behind each one. They did a wonderful job on this article. Just be patient as it takes a little time to load the pdf file.
New Announcement: Chuck Frey has just finished writing a new e-book, entitled Mind Mapping Software: How to Select the Perfect Program for Your Needs. He assembled a collection of advice, best practices and resources that you can use to take the mystery out of buying this type of software. Check it out!
I finally got pictures developed from our first sighting of the Idea Mapping book in stores. My husband and I were at the Barnes & Noble in Northville, Michigan when he captured this exciting moment!
For anyone who wants to get a little Florida sunshine along with a great learning experience, there is still time to register for the Idea Mapping workshop that will be taught next week by Jamie Nast. Go to http://www.ideamappingsuccess.com/courses.cfm to register. The workshop comes with an Idea Mapping Kit, the Idea Mapping book by Jamie Nast, and other surprises.
Make it an early Christmas present for yourself!
The purpose of this blog is to share idea mapping examples and related learning from my Idea Mapping, Memory, Speed Reading, and Certification Workshops. This blog is dedicated to my Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, my clients, Mind Mapping and Idea Mapping practitioners around the globe.
