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 Birmingham 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 Wednesday 8th September at the Grosvenor Casino Birmingham Five Ways. Full details are here: http://lunchtimelearning1.eventbrite.com/In this two-hour Lunchtime 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://lunchtimelearning1.eventbrite.com/As a special gift from us why not use the code xxxx to get a £5 discount on the booking price

Mind Mapping -its personalA mini series on HOW Mind Mapping improves personal effectiveness and productivity,whilst comparing and contrasting the various alternative graphical mapping techniques with ‘scores on the doors’Lists or bullet points do not easily show the big picture, key points and the detail easily or clearly on a single page. All graphical mapping techniques do better than lists. The rules of Mind Mapping enable more information to be summarised on the paper space than is possible with other graphic techniques. More efficient use of the paper space with less clutter is a key USP for Mind Mapping over other graphical mapping techniquesSo how good is each technique at seeing the big picture, key points and detail?Lists 1/10Spider Diagrams 5/10Concept Bubble Diagrams 5/10Mind Maps 9/10

- Soon to start rehearsing with my mate Pete for the Open Mike tonight at the Cock and Magpie in Bewdley Worcestershire (just down the road) #
- Just about to make hay whilst the sun shines. Taking some books just received from Amazon out into the garden to read. Will post reviews. #
- Wow is it hot here in Sunny Stourport 24 degrees in the shade. Reading a book by Frank Bettger on Sales with the foreword by Dale Carnegie! #
- Frank Bettger’s 1st insight, from “How I raised myself from failure to success in Selling”- you can acquire enthusiasm- just be enthusiastic #
- Bettger’s 2nd insight- how was he going to keep seeing the people to sell the life insurance? Kept complete records for 12months that’s how #
- Bettger’s records showed that in 1 year he made 1849 calls, saw 828 people,closed 65 sales- so each call was worth (making) to him $2.30. #
- The biggest enemy that Bettger had to face? The fear of making a fool in front of groups. So he took a speaking course- with Dale Carnegie! #
- Been a long day, started 7am Worcester Breakfast Club; in Birmingham all day (and boy did it rain),circuit training tonight, meal, & bath! #
- Michael Jackson – a tragedy just waiting to happen? – finding a single ’cause’ for his death (or one thing to blame) is not really possible! #
- Michael Jackson’s Toxicology Tests- 3days to do the scientific analysis- six weeks for many opinions to interpret results & agree a “cause”? #
