£56.00 ShareThis is a certificated Zoom Workshop delivered by Fiona Taylor.
In this workshop, Fiona will be looking at ‘Mind Mapping’ in a fresh new way.
Mind Mapping (or Brain Mapping, Spray Diagrams or Spidergrams) are a way to get information ‘out’ before ordering and collating it into a useful format for development.
Once you unleash your Driver’s scaling potential, you can add Mind Mapping techniques to form new ideas, link ideas and visualise relationships between old and new information. It also maps out the options for the next steps and future steps. It’s totally client-centred, too!
The potential of these techniques is limited solely by your imagination!
Combining Mind Mapping techniques offers a solution-focused approach to common problems such as these examples:
“Yes… but I just want to give the test a go!
“My Dad only had 10 hours, and the waiting list is so long!”
“Shall I check my mirrors now? Shall I signal now?
“Shall I change gear now?”
“Yes, I know you’ve told me loads of times, but I just can’t remember what you told me to do or when to do it?”
This course combines Client-Centred, engaging training techniques to give you solutions to these issues and more.
If you want that feeling at the end of the day that your efforts are matched by your Drivers, plus seeing the results that you want, then this course is for you.
Review
Mind Mapping – Their Brain Dump
I wasn’t too sure what to expect from today’s Mind Mapping – Their Brain Dump zoom course. However, I can honestly say that I do feel I have learned a lot today and have gained some great new ideas, not just from Fiona but also from other ADI’s and PDI’s who were on the course.
I really liked Fiona’s calm and relaxed approach, and she made me feel at ease with her, “no question is a stupid question” and “there are no right or wrong answers” ethos. My favourite part was Emily’s Story. Partly because I can recognise this in some of my own pupils. It was great to have an example that was easy to relate to!
I shall certainly be trying mind mapping in the future! And am also keen to try some of Fiona’s other courses, especially the scaling course. I believe she is in the process of writing another course, which is due to go live early next year, so I can’t wait to see what that is all about too!
I love Fiona’s ability to be so passionate, but without coming across as being over-bearing or persuasive. She is always keen for others to ask questions and have their own input to aid their own learning. All round a great course, that I would thoroughly recommend to any ADI or PDI, but especially those with SC’s coming up or anybody wanting to take a fresh look at their own teaching methods.
