Research has shown that the "normal" human brain has a much larger ability and potential than we think. Yet the one potent resource which each of us readily possess is by no means fully tapped or developed. It has often been said that people are our only real resource, and hence, the task of developing our mental skills would be of utmost importance to both the individual and any organisation. This workshop provides participants who have undergone basic Buzan Mind Map® training, the opportunity to enhance their mind mapping skills to further discover the brain’s amazing capabilities and learn the "natural" ways of tapping into their mental powerhouse.
