Mapping to Overcome Overwhelming
One of the powerful benefits to Idea Mapping is that it allows us to grasp ideas or concepts that seem overwhelming. This was reinforced to me after I spoke to a Career Connection gathering in Dallas TX this week. After my presentation (fun and learning for all!), a woman told me about how she had used Idea Mapping to prepare for a job interview. The hiring company’s job requirements were extensive and very detailed. The woman I spoke with wanted to make sure that she could match her experience to the job requirements, so she Idea Mapped the role. Unfortunately, she did not get the job, but she was well prepared for the interview. With her whole-brained approach to her job search and preparation, I’m sure her next job is just around the corner!

Dave, I think the lady’s work on preparing for an interview is a very good thing. I use mapping to prepare for f2f classes by mapping out scenarios of what I might be asked. Usually, whatever is slung at me has been covered in one of my prep maps. Of course I also map out the class in advance so I waste no precious time.
