Hestarted by breaking down the course content intosummary Mind Maps using iMindMap. Theseindividual Mind Maps formed an overview of eachsection in the Practitioner manual.The Training Team“The Practitioner resources were engaging,packed with examples and a very goodPowerpoint presentation. The resources wereeasily adaptable and I was able to use my ownknowledge to build on the information and tailor itto meet the needs of the European Commission”The CourseIf you wish to find out more information regarding the courses we offer, simplycontact our training team for more information:training@thinkbuzan.comCase StudiesIndividual Mind Maps were created for each section of the courseCarl cut them out and arranged the maps together with the main aim of seeingthe bigger picture but also to assess the direction the course would take. Addingcoloured lines connected the maps and differentiated them on the page.Case Studies“This course overview MindMap was taped onto the bookcase in my office and I wasable to review it constantly”Benefits“I needed to understand the new information before teachingit to others. The process of working with the physical Mapsand putting them together helped me to implant the contentsinto my brain in a structured way”

Mind Mapping for collaborationRounding up the day.At the end of the workshop, Carl certified the delegates as official ThinkBuzanPractitioners in Mind Mapping. He found from the Practitioner feedback formthat delegates were eager to undertake more training and implement iMindMapat the institute. He is now planning to follow up with the iMindMap Practitionercourse.Why become an accredited trainer?“I had used Mind Mapping for a number of years before Idiscovered the TLI course which not only offered officialMind Mapping training but also iMindMap techniques. It wasan opportunity, which I was ready to take and one of the bestdecisions I’ve made in my career. The course was a naturalprogression for me and the ThinkBuzan accreditation gaveme the credibility I needed to take my corporate training to thenext level. I am very excited about the future!”Since graduating from the TLI course at the beginning of the year, Julie hassought to differentiate her business by setting up a parallel training company to herexisting language company, entitled The Mind Mapping Connection .To combat increasing pressure on businesses and employees, Julie sought tointroduce Mind Mapping to middle and senior executives. This technique zeroesin brilliantly on key information and saves so much time regardless of the industry,profession or individual workload.Case StudiesWhat are businesses looking for?With business executives experiencing increasing levels of stress, they areconstantly looking for new ways to enhance their efficiency, solve daily problems,overcome strategic challenges and improve their performance. Julie recognisedthe need for enhanced working practices amongst her corporate clients andrealised that there was a gap in the market, which she could fill.Benefits*Unfortunately, no photographs of the training session could be taken as thetraining took place in a high security area within the European Commission.Based in Paris, Julie has extensive experience as anindependent trainer and has consulted with companiesin various industries including tourism, finance, technology andpharmaceuticals. With a view to expanding her services as a corporate consultantand language trainer, she attended the ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor Course inHenley, UK in January 2013.Dates and Prices“After lunch, we created a group Mind Map using iMindMapon the recent 50th anniversary of the European CommissionResearch Centre – a topic which they all had in common. Thisworked really well for the group session and they were bowledover by what iMindMap could do”In this post, Julie Cummings-Debrot, a ThinkBuzanLicensed Instructor and Language Trainer at The EnglishConnection, gives an insight into her accomplishmentssince becoming accredited, including how she hasintegrated Mind Mapping and iMindMap into herconsultancy business.The Training TeamAs part of the morning session, the delegates drew and presented many MindMaps which were presented on a pin board for comparison and discussion. Duringthe lunch break, they viewed a slide show of example Mind Maps which led to around of questions about Mind Mapping and, in particular, the iMindMap software.2.0 Julie Cummings-Debrot: Language Trainer at theEnglish ConnectionThe CourseThe ImplementationThe course delegates were from academic, scientific and administrative roleswithin the European Commission (EC). Even though the delegates worked withindifferent areas of the EC, Mind Mapping is an adaptable technique which can beintroduced across the board. They planned to use Mind Mapping for note taking,instructional communication, group workshops and even to create interestingvisual notices.

Since becoming ThinkBuzan Practitioners, the delegates have continued to MindMap not only for problem solving, but to consider new avenues and ideas, preparepresentations, take notes and generally avoid succumbing to the daily pressuresof working with a lot of data.What did Julie think of ThinkBuzan’s Practitioner course content?Having used official ThinkBuzan Practitioner course content to deliver herworkshops in iMindMap and Mind Mapping, Julie had plenty to say on this matter:“There is enough material to do a week’s training never mind 1 or 2 days.As the course progressed it was wonderful to see the reactions of eachparticipant as he or she became fully aware of the potential of the MindMapping. Each person is unique, and the material we have been givenhelps each individual reach his or her goals and fly. To be able to introducedelegates to Tony’s original (and so important) technique of Mind Mappingby hand and follow that up with the iMindMap software is truly amazing”What’s next for Julie?Julie is investing more of her time and resources into developing her new companyThe Mind Mapping Connection and is starting to translate her workshop contentinto French so that she can bring Mind Mapping to a wider audience and add anew dimension to her training offer.Case StudiesA pre-requisite of the course was thateach delegate had to bring a problem,which they were currently experiencingin work. Once they learnt how to Mind Map, Julie instructed the delegates to ‘powermap’ for 15 minutes about their individual problem. Following this, they werepaired up and asked to review their partner’s Mind Map and suggest solutions totheir problems. This activity was designed to encourage delegates from differentdepartments within the organisation to work collaboratively and assess problemsfrom a fresh perspective.After the course finished, delegates were required to submit an individualiMindMap in order to receive their official ThinkBuzan Practitioner Certificates iniMindMap and Mind Mapping.BenefitsDay 1 – Mind MappingOn the first day, Julie utilised the OfficialThinkBuzan Mind Mapping Practitionercourse resources to introduce delegatesto the concept of Mind Mapping inBusiness.With their I.T background, they were intrigued to see what the software could offerthem and they were impressed by the results.Dates and Prices“There is a definite demand in the technology sector forMind Mapping and iMindMap. Within this field, consultantsmust continually train and develop their skills. Introducingthem to iMindMap counts as continuous professionaldevelopment and allows individuals to see its widerimplications within their own roles”Day 2 – iMindMapOn the second day, Julie delivered theiMindMap Practitioner course to thedelegates. Armed with Mind Mappingknowledge, they were enthusiastic abouttackling iMindMap. The employeesembraced the software and got off to aflying start under Julie’s watchful eye.The Training TeamWith Mind Mapping at the forefront ofJulie’s training agenda, she recently heldan in-house two-day workshop for a leadingFrench data and cloud managementconglomerate. The company operateson a global scale and provides softwaresolutions for large FTSE multi-nationals.This is a continually evolving industry andtheir employees were looking to enhance their skillset and keep up-to-date withthe latest software developments. Delegates on the course included middle andupper managers from Research and Development, Marketing, Finance and IT.“The results were astounding! It helped of course that all of thecourse delegates were from the same company, as they understoodthe ethos of the company and the industry within which they work.However, it was really interesting for them to look at challengesfacing colleagues within other areas of the company”The Course“I have found that iMindMap compliments Mind Mappingperfectly and also adds a professional touch to a creative andenjoyable process”
