Idea Mapping is a powerful whole-brained visual thinking tool that enhances memory, note-taking skills, thought organization, planning, creativity, and communication.

It uses color, key words, lines and images to connect thoughts associatively. Idea Maps are the natural expression of the way the brain processes information associatively.

The human brain is better at processing information when it is presented visually. Despite this, however, most communication is linear rather than visual.

By converting the information that is received into an idea map, you create relationships which will help clarify the information contained.

For a limited time you can get:

• Free Kindle Book Summary of  Summary: Idea Mapping – Jamie Nast [Kindle Edition]  (normally $6.15 USD) This 32 page summary explains how idea mapping enables you to plan more effectively, allow others to understand you better, and permits more connections between logical ideas and creativity.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.

Presenter: Jamie Nast (LinkedIn profile) is the author of the book Idea Mapping: How to Access Your Hidden Brain Power, Learn Faster, Remember More, and Achieve Success in Business .
