A Hand-Drawn Mind Map on the iPad

I experimented with a freehand Mind Map drawing on my iPad, using black and white and then colour. Note the method that I use to differentiate branches on the black and white version.

Are Mind Maps Mainstream?

Despite overwhelming evidence that using non-linear methods and both sides of the brain can stimulate creativity, memory and problem solving, Mind Maps are still not prevalent.

5. Facebook page

Facebook is great for updates, as it is unobtrusive and you can give immediate feedback.

Please promote our Facebook Page to you friends and family.

It is a great way for them to stay updated with the latest information on everything you need to know about creating and using Mind Maps to learn faster and easier.

All updates to our site, as well as our blog, are posted to our Facebook Page, so you will always be informed of what's happening.

Make learning and using Mind Maps a part of your Social Experience. In this way learning and growth becomes a natural part of you life and stops being a laborious effort.

As information on Facebook is fed in bite size chunks and you only read what catches your eye, you are in complete control of the situation.

6. Twitter

I am very active in the online Mind Mapping community, you will get updates and links to important information as I come across it.

Twitter is the fastest way to get information into the market. If you haven't tried Twitter yet, give it a go. The great thing about Twitter is that you only have to read what you want to, as it just gives you the headlines. The information also comes to you, so you are only receiving information that you want to receive.

If you don't like the source - kill it, and it's instantly removed.

Twitter can be a great time saver to give you the information when you want it and how you want it.

We publish all of our Blog feeds to Twitter so that you can simply browse the headlines and only visit the page if you like what you see.

7. Focus of the month - Learning and teaching in the Workplace

Whether you are starting your career, or a 'Seasoned Pro', lifelong learning in the workplace should be a part of your strategy, as we are living in the most rapidly changing period the world has ever seen.

I demonstrated in a recent article on increasing your net worth, how easy it is to become a leader in your field. Once you are a leader, it is always a good thing to teach others. Stephen R. Covey, in his book, the 8th Habit, says that the first seven habits were to help you find your own voice, the 8th Habit is to help others find theirs - you do this by teaching.

The use of a Mind Map Learning Portal - putting one together for yourself, and then helping others to do the same - will establish you as a leader in your field over time.

By constantly learning and teaching others, your career will flourish and you will be among the leaders in your field.
