BUZAN MIND MAPS WORKSHOP (schools, colleges, universities/tafes)
This one-day program continues the learning journey into Mind Maps, which commenced in the Buzan Study Skills Workshop. It commences with the key understandings and learnings about the brain; how we learn; and makes crucial linkages with Radiant Thinking®. Next, the key steps in creating brilliant Mind Maps are explained and demonstrated. This is followed by a series of hands-on activities and exercises where participants are guided in the application of mind maps to the fundamental learning and study challenges faced by every student.
Participants will also learn/review and apply the unique BOST® (Buzan Organic Study Technique) which was designed specifically by Tony Buzan. The intention is to empower students to make appropriate selections from their expanding study skills arsenal thereby giving them the flexibility and confidence to stay on top of their studies and power ahead to achieve their academic goals.
Your workshop facilitator will be Will Naicker who has trained with Tony Buzan and is a Buzan Licensed Instructor.
