Mind-Mapping Matters

LIVE: Tuesday, November 19, 2024
2:00 - 3:00 PM Eastern
1 hour

 We each have our own preferred learning experiences. Each of us have our favored ways of taking in and deeply processing our learning experiences. Knowing how you prefer to learn gives you a great advantage everywhere in life, but especially as you learn new skills in an ever-changing world. We each create meaning from the rush and jumble of information encountered at work, at home, and everywhere else in life.

The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every individual learns differently. We will review how mind-mapping can help achieve goals, both professionally and personally, and how mind-mapping can help organizational effectiveness.

Understanding mind-mapping and learning styles can be beneficial to you and those around you!

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn different learning styles, and identify own learning style
  • Gain an understanding of why identifying different learning styles are beneficial in our practice.
  • Understand mind-mapping at the organizational level including its benefits
