Share the Secret of Visual Thinking at SxSW

If you’re a Mindjet blog reader, you’re likely a member of the visual thinking elite or gearing up to become a member.

How did you get here? Were you seeking a better way to work? Did you witness someone else mapping? Did you hear of it from other thought leaders like Bill Gates? David Allen? Al Gore?

Shape Shifting with MindManager

Visually enhance and tranform your maps with custom topic shapes!

I’m excited for my own transformation. Today, I’m working in Mindjet’s office. All of next week, I’ll be Scuba diving in Curacao, a beautiful island off the coast of Venezuela. I’ll miss you all, I will!

Before I sign off the Mindjet Blog for a week, I wanted to share a couple of events that inspired me to create some new transformative, shape-shifting map templates.

The first event occurred during my men’s group meeting on Wednesday night. One of my friends was sharing a painful experience that he was having in his relationship with his girlfriend. When he asked for support, I demonstrated a mapping technique he could use to visually lay out his feelings to better understand himself and his relationship.

Check out how Fernando maps his way through the ongoing technical certification process for IT professionals:

Technical certification exams are a part of life for many IT and knowledge professionals. These exams may be steps in one’s career plan or may be requirements for specific assignments or business partnerships. Because the field I work in – network security – is quite broad, I keep track of certifications across a variety of areas.

I’d like to share how I use Mind Mapping in general (and MindManager in particular) to help me manage and prepare for my certification exams. This method has worked well for me when preparing for several exams. Read the rest of this entry »
