Mind Mapping
Mind maps engage the visual and logical capacities of the brain and enhance creative thinking.
This one-day workshop explores all aspects of mind mapping: how individuals and teams can use them to overcome blocks and build upon ideas. Throughout the day, you will create your own mind maps. There will be a chance compare them to international standards and reflect on the link to memory and recall.

Course Overview
This workshop is currently only available for private group bookings, held as Live Online Learning (via Zoom) and in the classroom (either at Happy or your workplace). Please get in touch with our friendly team for details, including pricing and availability.
We have adjusted the course content slightly for online and classroom delivery — please select your preferred delivery method below for the correct course outline.
This full day remote course will be delivered via a combination of face-to-face live-online Zoom sessions and self-guided study. The self-guided elements will focus on explaining the concepts and tools and allow for self-reflection. The Zoom sessions will focus on group interaction, discussion, exercises, and opportunities to practice the skills.
Please do not plan any other remote meetings on this day. It can be intense being online and we’d love you to be fresh throughout the learning.

The Small Print
For Face-to-Face Live Online Learning
All learners will need to install Zoom on their machines. Full technical requirements are on the Zoom website. Your link will be included in your joining instructions once you have booked your place — if you haven't received this email then please contact our team.
Please reserve the session in your diary for the learning. This will allow you to join the interactive workshops and have time to reflect and do the assignments in between. We believe immersing yourself in the content for a whole day will create deep learning and lasting impact.
Learners should log into the session 10 minutes before the start time to ensure that they have downloaded and set up Zoom correctly. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals.
Your active participation is expected: everyone will be heard and seen throughout, just as they would be if we were in a room together. To be heard, hear and seen you will need a microphone, speakers and camera — if you have a modern laptop that’s all you will need. Remember, you’ll need a quiet place to call from and a decent internet connection is a must.
Please ensure you read our Terms and Conditions before booking for our payment terms and cancellation policy.

All public classroom sessions take place at Happy's HQ in London at Robert Dolan House, 9 Alie Street, London E1 8DE. Please see our Contact Us page for full directions and a PDF map.
The course will run from 10am to 4:30pm (lunch is served 1pm to 1:45pm — we offer a choice of 3 cold bowl dishes). Please be careful to arrive by 9.45am for registration and refreshments. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals. If you arrive over 30 minutes late you may be asked to leave and attend another day.
