Learn Mind Mapping / Visual Notes – to identify and map ‘key idea’ hierarchies…
Mind Mapping and Visual Graphic Recording are the ultimate brain tools for any task that requires you to identify key ideas and content – and/or to gather, learn, organise, store and recall information.
Use it to create great content, to take brilliant notes, to prepare for business meetings, pitches, interviews, public speaking/presentations, seminars, training documentation, or exam prep… ANYTHING that requires identifying and gathering and processing and association and recall of information. (Plus the skills can be adapted to efficiently chunk down information into key ideas in text notes as well as imagery).
What is mindmapping?
It is a wholebrain tool of literally mapping information visually onto one page, using keywords and associations and images and colour. My training will give you the theory and application skills to mind map 'oldschool' with coloured markers and paper, or to apply the learning effectively and optimally to mind map software on a desktop or laptop or mobile device app...

How People Learn:
” If you want people to be able to pay attention, don’t start with details. Start with the key ideas and, in a hierarchical fashion, form the details around these larger notions. Meaning before details.”
― John Medina, Molecular Biologist and best selling author of ‘Brain Rules’

Sample testimonials for my workplace training options…
“I can highly recommend Veronica Walsh who was a guest speaker at my first year Critical Thinking and Independent Learning Skills Module at Dublin City University (DCU). Veronica took the class for a seminar on Mind Mapping and Visual Note Taking and her presentation was both stimulating and engaging.
The intention was for students to be persuaded of the benefits of visual note taking and to see how they could utilise the techniques for studying, writing essays and more. Due t the ever-present budget constraints Veronica only took one class, but the feedback was excellent and many of the students asked whether she could return.
Veronica’s delivery is accessible and the vast majority of students, whether or not they had engaged with the topic beforehand, found her engaging and effective.
I would highly recommend this hour, or preferably more, to other institutions interested in enhancing the student learning experience and preparing students for studying and exam success.”
“Veronica Walsh presented Mind Mapping to a staff group from three organisations and delivered an interesting and stimulating session which captured the basics of visual note taking and presentation in a half day event.Participants were engaged throughout and found the creation of relevant mind maps in a group setting a valuable way to embed the learning.”
“Veronica is a gifted trainer whose down-to-earth approach is tailored for every client. Brilliantly perceptive and generous with her time and talent, she makes a real difference to those with whom she works.”
Veronica Walsh recently completed one to one CBT sessions with a number of our clients. These clients had reached a certain point in their lives and their recovery from addiction and were unable to move forward. This left them struggling to commit to attending anything that might help. Veronica worked with these clients where they were at and tackled their individual blockages with them. She taught them strategies to recognise and overcome similar situations if and when they should arise again. Client attendance for the 5 week Programme was 100% and all clients have since expressed an interest in continuing this work. The insight into their self-sabotaging thinking has empowered these clients beyond recognition. I think that these results speaks volumes for her work, her understanding of people and her empathy for them and her commitment to facilitate change in their lives.
Our staff thoroughly enjoyed Veronica Walsh’s recent CBT presentation, ‘Happiness In The Workplace.’Feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
Veronica is engaging, inspiring and compelling. A breath of fresh air, we highly recommend her for staff development.
“Veronica is an excellent and compelling advocate for CBT: her presentation content, coupled with her engaging speaking style, greatly added to the experience of our event for attendees.”
The Northside Partnership has used Veronica Walsh to deliver her Coping Skills and Feeling Good programme to our unemployed clients. The programme has been extremely well received both by the Northside Partnership and the participants. Veronica is professional in her approach and has great empathy with our clients. We definitely intend using her again to deliver this programme.”
“A huge thank you to Veronica Walsh who recently spoke at our Executive PA Forum on Visual Note-taking and Mind Mapping Technique, which went down extremely well at the event.
She also delivered a workshop on the Cognitive Science of Public Speaking – her presentation style is highly engaging, she is enthusiastic about her subject matter, and held everybody’s attention for 3 hours.
We had hugely positive feedback on both of Veronica’s presentations and I would highly recommend her for any speaking engagement or training.”
“Thanks for a clear intelligent blog. I particularly enjoyed the references to Epictetus and Shakespeare. I’m looking for good CBT blogs to follow in conjunction with our new web-based therapy site, and yours is the best I’ve seen so far.”
