Workshops with Charles MacInerney
IN AUSTIN, TEXAS AND OTHER CITIES

MIND-MAPPING

Mind Mapping workshops are offered in Austin, Texas, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and other cities around the States, Mexico and Costa Rica, by Charles MacInerney.

Mind mapping is a tool that makes even the most boring task fun and interesting, thereby improving concentration and creativity. Mind mapping aligns itself with the natural tendencies of the mind, specifically free association and non-linearity. It encourages the mind to flow along the path of least resistance so that thoughts flow more smoothly, energy is not dissipated as quickly, and creativity is enhanced. Mind mapping suspends the inner critic, and engages and focuses all four quadrants of the brain on a specific topic, thus triggering the associative and synergistic effect called brain storming.

Mind mapping approaches a central theme from four different directions: logical & analytical, creative & holistic, administrative & organized, interpersonal & emotional. This makes it is less likely that important gaps and omissions will be missed, thus saving time and money. It is also a wonderful tool to help facilitate group brainstorming sessions. It can be used to take notes, to plan a project, to solve a problem, to summarize a book, to improve recall, to organize a presentation and much more. The only limitation for using mind maps is imagination, and with mind maps you should have more than enough of that to go around.
