I’ve been working with people for so many years now to improve their visual maps through my personal coaching, (online) training courses, many e-books, podcasts and articles.
Yesterday, to my surprise, I received a message from the people at Mindjet. Mindjet is, as you probably know, the creator of the MindManager mindmap solution (and other visual mapping solutions). They have been a driving force in the field of computer mind mapping for many years and will remain to be such in the future.
Mindjet selected 14 people who they feel are dedicated to develop, assist and improve the mapping way of life. I am grateful they choose me.
Only 14 people were selected. They can be identified by a Mindjet Trusted Voice badge. This is the badge:
Thank you Mindjet for this recognition! Let’s work together to make more people benefit from visualizing their information.

Have I been neglecting the blog so many months…? Time really does fly when you are having fun!
The first part of this year has been really busy (in a wonderful and very good way that is).
I’ve been training many people, talking with people all around the world on what they do with mindmaps, visual maps, and why so many of them stopped mind mapping (almost) completely.

Are you also looking back already at your good intentions, instead of working on them? I created a small map that can assist you in making sure your good intentions don’t need to be intentions anymore (but really become good habits).
Have a look at it on: via this link
I look forward to seeing your results!
PS: Be sure you let me know how your mindmaps are working for you and what you are missing in working with them. I love to assist you in making your mindmaps work for you.

Have you ever used a mindmap during a sales pitch? Do you show people you meet for the first time your mindmap? Have you used mindmaps in meetings?
One of the first things people tell me when they learn about mindmaps and mind mapping is that this is something which can be valuable. Still, they would use it for themselves only and not in a group or during a meeting.
I can understand that. You may be a little uncomfortable because you do not completely master the mindmap method… yet.
Fast forward a few week, months or even years. I speak with my successful students and what do many of them tell me about mind mapping in a group? They don’t do it. They are often afraid of what the other person’s response or even thoughts might be.
There is fortunately a cure for this:

Just read this quote on His Holiness the Dalai Lama his twitter page (how cool is that 
)
You have to start giving first and expect absolutely nothing
I wish you and your loved ones the best holidays and a good ending of the year.
Maybe I write something this week on the website, maybe I won’t. I most likely spend my time doing other things. I hope you enjoy these last days of the year and start the new year the best way possible.
Remember the quote above and practice it this last week and all throughout 2010. I can promise you when you do that, your life will improve a lot, you reduce negativity in and around you, and you become an even better YOU!
Take care and remember to visualize your thoughts, believe me… you will benefit!

Today I want to write something different you can do with your mind or visual map. Can you do this exercise in a normal linear format (to do list style)? Sure you can! The only difference is that by using a map you will be able to have a neat and clear overview on one sheet that helps your entire brain.
Again, this is not just talking about mapping information. Today we talk about transforming part of yourself.
