[symple_tab title=”Learning To Learn”]

ICON_Rainbow_92This section details the various possibilities for discovering and making the most of this vital but often ignored aspect of learning and teaching.

[symple_toggle title=”Keynotes & Presentations” state=”closed”]

Welcome To The Power Hour

Given an hour or so we can offer a powerful presentation on learning techniques, poor current practices in our education system and some exciting ideas for the future.

We will highlight modern research into how the brain works, especially when exposed to new information. We will also mention the affect of personalising the learning experience and suggest a few ways of doing so with the ultimate aim of producing motivated and autonomous students.

[symple_toggle title=”Seminars & Workshops” state=”closed”]

Take It To The Next Level

Over a couple of hours or half a day, we introduce the main principles of learning to learn before learning anything else. This is a highly interactive experience, where we put into practice various learning techniques, working in small groups and sharing our thoughts and ideas to benefit from others’ experience.

These workshops are the ideal introduction to this exciting area full of potential to change the way we teach and learn new things for the rest of our lives. This can lead logically to a whole day or two day training course including full documentation and resources.

Get To The Heart Of The Matter

Learn how to actually learn before learning anything else. That’s what we cover over one or two days, as we introduce teachers, trainers and students to the true capabilities of the human brain.

Unfortunately, our schools and our teaching methods don’t exploit anything like all of our huge intellectual potential. What’s worse is, we learn in ways which are extremely ineffective based on what modern scientific research has told us about how we learn.

Our training sessions are a mixture of thought-provoking presentations and interactive hand-on activities, including a detailed introduction to the powerful mind mapping technique, to practise and consolidate the understanding of the key principles. This is always a rich learning experience for everyone and great fun too!

Working Together For Improvement

Positive changes don’t happen overnight, especially when existing but outmoded systems are deeply entrenched.

That’s why we work with a range of organisations, over a period of weeks or months, to help decide what the best training solution is and how to put it into practice.

[symple_tab title=”Mind Mapping”]

ICON_Rainbow_92In this part we talk about mind mapping, the powerful visual tool which can help anyone become more creative, productive and organised in their lives.

[symple_toggle title=”Introduction To Mind Mapping” state=”closed”]

Unleash Your Brain’s True Potential

Mind Mapping is a great way to develop your creativity as well as study more effectively and get organised. It is also fun to use and inspiring in a whole new way.

This stimulating training shows you how the technique works, explains why it’s effective, gets you creating your own mind maps and gives you plenty of examples for using them in your daily life.

[symple_toggle title=”Introduction To Mind Mapping Software” state=”closed”]

The Ultimate Mind Mapping Software

Mind mapping software opens a whole new world of possibilities for this powerful technique. There are a huge number of mind mapping programs on the market and it can be overwhelming and difficult to know which to chose.

In this fast-paced training course we introduce you to our favourites, and discuss their pros and cons in relation to typical situations. We demonstrate a popular free mind mapping program and look in detail at what we consider to be by far the best paid solution, with truly impressive functionality.

[symple_toggle title=”Mind Mapping For Education” state=”closed”]

A Unique Learning Device

If there is one area in which mind mapping is extremely effective, it’s education. We show you in detail how to exploit this tool to its full potential in a wide range of learning situations.

Using a learning-by-doing approach, trainees will complete a series of exercises and build a toolbox of techniques which they can immediately put into practice in their everyday learning environment.

A Powerful Productivity Tool

Professional applications for mind mapping and have exploded recently, and enthusiasm for visual problem solving and creativity stimulation are at an all-time high.

During this training we show you how mind mapping can significantly increase productivity in many business  situations such as brainstorming, organising meetings, note-taking, project-planning, weighing up opportunities and revamped time management.
