1. mind mapping
   2000 characters isn’t enough to describe the process and what you need to do. But if you would like to email me I wil be happy to share the process I take people through on my workshops. Takes about15 – 30 mins dependig on how much you want to do.

2. Mind mapping introduction
   Jooli

   I’ve used the idea of “Moving House” and “Planning for Christmas” as 2 easy ways to introduce Mind Mapping to others – starting with the central theme or goal and then branching off from that with eg solicitors / estate agents / jobs to do on house prior to sale / mortgage lenders – etc and branched off further from there. Christmas idea same – branching off onto Food / Guests / Presents – etc. By using 2 topics like this that people are (generally) familiar with, they can concentrate on the process of mind mapping rather than struggling with content – which I find really works. I’ll also use lots of colours to represent a different “theme or area”, and then encourage them to use the process throughout the rest of the day to “take notes on the training” – then review and debrief at end.

   Hope these helps ?

3. Six Key Words
   I am currently engaged on a training programmewith 18 to 24 year old Gateway to Work clients. THey are mainly male and many don’t want to be on the course but their New DEal Adviser insists!
   I mind map Skills, Attitudes, KNowledge and Experience(SAKE) by asking each delegate to interview their neighbour about these 4 factors. In subsequent plenary feedback I insist on only receiving six words – the perceptions of the interviewer – which the pair subsequently discuss and then using SAKE start to construct their own mind maps. Usually high energy and animated discussions ensure coherant mind maps

   Good Luck!
