Mind Mapping - How to Effectively Organize Your Creative Genius So You Can Get Things Done
Mind Mapping - How to Effectively Organize Your Creative Genius So You Can Get Things Done
We’ve all done it…create a “to-do” list. We put everything on the list with hopes that we will complete it all and often times, we fall short. The goals and tasks aren’t the problems, it’s the way we look at them. Making a list focuses on and supports linear thinking which stifles the creative process. Mind mapping helps you see your goals in a different way to create a better strategy to achieve them.
In this session, attendees will:
- – Learn how mind mapping can increase productivity by allowing you to see the “big” picture.
- – Understand how mind mapping can improve collaboration and communication within teams.
- – Learn how to enhance project management and spark creativity when faced with new challenges.
You Are Your Brand

Personal branding is no longer for companies and celebrities. Having a solid personal brand can open unknown doors of opportunity both personally and professionally. Your personal brand shows up in the way you look and speak, actions and behaviors, and the company you keep.
In this session, attendees will:
- – Learn how to recognize their strengths and valued character traits.
- – Identify their cross-functioning skills.
- – Learn the rules of reputation management.
- – Create their own “about me” statement, not a bio.
