Mind mapping is a visual technique for organizing and connecting ideas, thoughts, and information.
It involves creating a central node, branching out with related ideas, and further expanding those branches with more specific details. It's like a tree for your thoughts.
Real-life applications include brainstorming, project planning, note-taking, and so much more. I use mind mapping to plan every presentation I do, and it's been a game-changer.
Let's dive deeper into the different components of a mind map:

Yesterday I promised to tell you how to stand out from the pack as an interview candidate in 2023. Now I’ll be honest. It’s rather strange writing this because, not that long ago, I was stuck being the interview candidate who never got THAT call. My years as a trainee were anything but ‘standing out from the pack’. Every interview I did I seemed to...
This is a special 3 part email series. If you missed yesterday’s, we discussed why geography ISN’T the most important benefit of securing your consultant job. You read it here. I grew up in Glasgow.
