Challenges & Selection 

 It all started years back when a colleague of mine shared with me his dilemma about   choosing between two fundamentally different career opportunities . The classic “ Marwa ,   would you have a minute for me ? ” in the office right after the first coffee in the morning .   What initially sprang to my mind to ask him was : “ What is it that you ’d expect from what ’s   left of your business life ? ” 

 He replied that he had never thought about that in detail . I continued : “ What do you think   you ’re really good at ? ” This is a question that is on the no - go list in today ’s formal job   interviews as much as “ What do you think you ’re really bad at ? ” because there ca n’t be an   honest answer . I got trained on that 16 years ago already in my hiring certification classes at   November . However , it is totally OK between two friends in a secluded setting . His answer   struck me as I had a totally different picture of him . At this point it became clear to me that   his situation and decision process would require some formalization and visualization . And   this is how I started to use mind mapping . 

 Application 

 I start with general ideas and get more and more specific as my idea develops . Structure   does not develop in my head . Information does . That means that I must put down my   information somewhere and structure it there . Linear representation is difficult to structure .   Hence , a mind map comes in handy : I can see things at a glance and add topics where I see a   gap . 

 While developing the method , I used a mind map to dump my thoughts and experiences in .   After a while , these topics could be organized into clusters , which then mercilessly pointed   out to me what was missing . I literally saw it ! In short : Information creates clusters , shows   missing information and promotes further clustering . A very creative flow . Putting things in   a meaningful order requires a lot of shuffling around of information and re - clustering . Try to   do that in a flowing text and you know why I always choose to use a mind map . 

 When the mind map was finally as complete as I wanted it to be , the question was : How to   present it to the target audience ? How can a story unfold in the eyes of the beholder ? Going   through this map is not a linear process . While you answer one question in the map ,   another answer to an unrelated question on the other side of the map might just pop up in   your mind . Because you always see the open spots , you can easily jump left and right , top   and bottom and still stick to a structure . 

 Collaboration is the key element of my method . Collaboration works perfectly fine when   face to face over a glass of wine . But this is a process that will never conclude , as previously   noted . Thus , remote collaboration is a smart way to interact . Set the preferences for the   map to notify when changes are applied and trigger off a constant flow of remote   interaction , which will continuously fine tune the map . 

 Finally : Seeing and listening closely are important while working on such an intimate topic ,   but you need to go one step further and truly capture the meaning . A mind map will help   you to see things in context and see how they develop and relate to each other . This is key   for being able to open and challenge , respectively . When providing feedback , adding visuals   to indicate feelings about a certain topic , emphasizing certain elements through formatting   and showing consent or dissent by voting , commenting and , most of all , asking ( Carl Rogers )   are strong tools to drill deeper into the matter and look behind the statements being made .   You are able to actually “ describe ” digital information ( text , content ) with analog elements   ( icons , formatting , position , relation ) to create a picture in the mind of the collaborators   that they can even talk about without the map in sight . 

 Insight & Approach 

 A mind map is a means to visually represent ideas and their relationship to one another . It ’s   a brainstorming tool frequently used in education , the business world , and the   entertainment industry – often in collaborative projects . 

 There are times in your life when you need to make significant decisions about how to   continue in your business and/or personal life . At these points , it ’s necessary that you   establish a clear vision about certain life facts . This process must be honest and complete . 

 In my experience , mind map and the method behind it helped me a lot during my journey of   self - evaluation by compiling relevant information and presenting these facts in a   comprehensive format to a friend for input .
