JEROME DOWNES' LANDMARK FORUM MIND MAP - 29 MAR 2005


THE LANDMARK FORUM PRESENTATION by JEROME

I would not have the opportunity to attend this wonderful presentation if not for the kind invitation of my good friend, Robert Koh. It was really an unforgetable evening.

Briefly, the seminar is about some very essential lessons in life and the principles to which everyone should abide by. It was facilitated by Jerome, who very ably presented these facts in an excellent sequence. This really helped me capture a good portion of the lessons learnt. I am glad I could share this mind map with everyone.

I think it is quite readable. Please enjoy and have fun analysing the mind map.

Afternote:
After posting the above mind map, I wanted to find out more about the very able speaker, coach and excellent presenter of that Landmark Forum seminar that was held at the then Spring Singapore auditorium on 29 March 2005. So....., I googled for him. Sadly, I found that Jerome Downes passed away on 25 Dec 2009.

Reading from my mind map, I could "clearly" hear him, announcing to the audience that after more than 32 years as a Senior Leader in Landmark Forum, he would be a father in about 3 months time. From his voice, I could feel that he was enormously proud of his yet-to-be born child and that he loved his family very, very much.

From hindsight, one could see that I managed to recall what went on at that seminar.....even after more than nine years.

Try to find the key words that transported me back to the auditorium, where I sat together with my good friends, Chiang Gnee and Robert, listening intensively to the wise words of this fine gentleman.

This mind map is really dedicated to the late Jerome Downes and his family.

"CASTLES CAN FLY" - MIND MAP OF ALVIN LEE's (aka, the SANDMAN) 28th COURSE ON "BEYOND the BOX....MORE THAN JUST THINKING"

MIND MAP OF ALVIN LEE's "BEYOND the BOX - MORE THAN JUST THINKING"






It was really a joy to attend Alvin Lee's course. There was not a moment of boredom as you listen to this passionate, self-motivated "Sandman", as he is also known, as he relates his own journey of Innovation and Creativity....in this "Beyond the Box --- More Than Just Thinking" course.

One would feel highly motivated just by listening, as he illustrates the basic elements of being an INVENTOR by bringing in his experience of overcoming difficulties to successfully launch his "Castles Can Fly" project.

Please enjoy and have fun reading through the mind map.

ANGER MANAGEMENT MIND MAP Seminar Notes on 29 July 2008

ANGER MANAGEMENT SEMINAR By Dr Wolff Von Auer & Ms Diana Oh
I was glad that I attended an excellent "Anger Management" seminar conducted by Dr Wolff Von Auer and Ms Diana Oh on 29 July 2008 and was in for a surprise that many in the seminar including myself, did not know the proper way of breathing in order to maximise oxygen intake to the brain. Do you?

Briefly, one can learn from this seminar is that ANGER is a BEHAVIOUR that one can LEARN........and hence MANAGE. The STAGES of Anger starts with SURPRISE, followed by FEAR and this turns into ANGER (due to the emotions that develops within). So, how do we COPE and have a PLAN for a SOLUTION to manage this anger of ours? It is not easy......but, Dr Auer did a fine job.

Please read on, enjoy and have fun analysing the mind map!

PS:
Normally, from my experience, when you do see a well-balanced "live" mind map, there is a very high probability that those presenters are wonderful professionals who have excellent presentation skills. They would also have taken lots of efforts to plan and think through how to effectively put their materials across to their participants.
