Mind Mapping and Mind Mapping Software

People using Mind Maps® benefit from creating organic, unrestricted and memorable records of their discussions, meetings, research and thoughts. The maps reflect the way the mind works in keyword pictures not lists. This makes them a more powerful and memorable visualisation of the subject. Mind Maps use relationships and graphics to reinforce the information.
Mind Mapping software users can take this a stage further by reorganising, adding more detail and finally transforming their maps in to traditional formats: project plans, books, web sites and presentations.
Mind Mapping software users facilitate better meetings with instant production of notes. They help to clarify projects. They have customised maps with rapid access to their most important knowledge and data - dashboards for your business, organisation of life. Maps will enable you and your colleagues to get a clearer picture of you business enabling you to make better and faster decisions.

I have just done a totally amazing course on MindManager and web sites with Andrew. I was exhausted (brain ache), gob smacked and inspired all at the same time at the end of the course. Not only will it save me loads of money on setting up web sites (or doing web site planning for clients), it will help in so many ways...including helping to organise my presentations and my grand plans for future world domination (only joking here!!).

It was so good, I told him to put his prices for training up! So get in there quick!

Just had my first training session with Andrew and have learnt more in that one hour than I had learnt in the four months I have been using MindManager. Roll on session number 2!

If you haven't discovered Mind Maps yet then I highly recommend you go to one of Andrew's workshops - not only will you learn about a new tool to change your life but you will also learn about it from a really good trainer. Andrew's course is well thought out and runs at a pace to suit everyone.
