Pump Up Your Productivity with Mind Mapping (Two-hour Workshop)
If you’d like to know how and why Mind Mapping (done properly) can give a boost to your Business Productivity and you live within commuting distance of Redditch then this lunchtime workshop is for you. Some studies have suggested you can get a 30% improvement in Productivity using Mind Mapping. That’s all well and good but will it work for YOU. Come on this workshop and find out. Next date is Tuesday 12th October. Full details are here: http://sponsalislearning.eventbrite.comIn this two-hour Mid-morning Learning Session you get to learn and try out for yourself (under the watchful eye of one of the UK’s top Mind Mapping Trainers) the business productivity tool called Mind MappingMind Mapping is often described as the Swiss Army Knife for the Brain as it is a seemingly simple and flexible tool for enhancing productivity. However it’s virtually impossible to learn both correct technique and the power of its applications from reading a book (like it’s impossible to learn to ride a bike by reading a book) – this is why most business owners/managers have either never heard of it or they can’t get the hang of it.The best way to learn Mind Mapping is to have an ‘expert’ coax and coach you through it. If you can spare a long lunch break in Birmingham (free parking is available!) then we have put together this wonderful learning opportunity for you to get to understand and use this highly versatile productivity techniqueIn this interactive session you will learn how and why Mind Mapping improves productivity in the following areas:• Planning and Preparation• Project Management• Thinking clearly and simplifying seemingly complex issues• Organising ‘Cluttered’ Thoughts• Preparing a workshop• Learning and Remembering new stuff (eg New Product Specs or New Client details)• Improving the Sales Process (Cold Calling, product info etc)• Improving Confidence• Delivering a Speech or a Biz PresentationYou will also learn how to:• Differentiate Mind Maps from Spider and Bubble Diagrams and why this matters• Construct effective Mind Maps, read other people’s Mind Maps and how the Mind Mapping Principle organises the brain (and even how it can be used to organise your computer hard drive!).The meeting opens around 11.40am for registration and networking and the Mind Mapping Workshop starts at 12.10pm and finishes at 2pm (though you can stay and network till 2.30pm if you wish). Refeshments and ‘nibbles’ are available during this working workshop.Workshop TakeawaysAfter the workshop you have immediate access to a web page with all the handouts and follow-up material available. Takeaways include practical examples where Business Owners are currently using Mind Mapping to enhance productivity across different areas of their business.See the full details here: http://sponsalislearning.eventbrite.comThis event is being run in partnership with Sponsalis

Hierarchy – Good for Learning, Bad for LeadershipThe brain loves to make new connections. New connections are of course new associations. When associations are random in nature they are easily misplaced (in the brain as well as in your filing cabinet) and thus easily forgotten.Therefore as far as learning and remembering are concerned ‘ordered’ associations [...]
Hierarchy – Good for Learning, Bad for LeadershipThe brain loves to make new connections. New connections are of course new associations. When associations are random in nature they are easily misplaced (in the brain as well as in your filing cabinet) and thus easily forgotten.Therefore as far as learning and remembering are concerned ‘ordered’ associations are best. Hierarchical ordering of associations is the way the brain can most quickly absorb and retrieve information.A hierarchical arrangement of ideas allows the brain to quickly move between different levels of meaning. To quickly ‘zoom out’ to the big picture or to zoom in to a component or detail.The most effective tool for helping us to pre-order or re-order any new and existing associations is the Mind Map (by the way NOT spider diagrams) basically because one of the ‘rules’ of Mind Mapping is to order information in this highly effective hierarchical way.If you live in the UK and you want to learn how to be more effective as a learner, check out my Mind Mapping and other workshops hereHierarchy is however bad for business because it leads to ‘command and control’ mentality (see here)
