The Practical Applications of Mind Mapping

Different people resort to the use of mind-mapping for a host of applications. In all, students, professionals, and teams can benefit from structuring their thought processes to pave the way for clearer, rational thinking. SheilaViesca, TalkShop CEO informs, “In essence, mind mapping is laying down one’s thoughts on paper by drawing branches, boxes and bubbles to represent main ideas from which emanate details that allow one to think clearly and plan logically.” 

Sheila shares the many uses for mind mapping in daily life:

1. Writers can draft their stories by mapping out their plots, sub-plots, and characterizations. Ditto for essays and speeches.

2. Housewives will find it an effective way to prioritize tasks and to do a balancing act.

3. Marketing people can attend to the nitty-gritty in special events and oversee these more effectively.

4. Students can benefit by re-organizing thoughts to reinforce lessons and gear up for review.

5. Professionals plan better by connecting the dots to come arrive at solutions.

6. Everyone can map career moves by having the visuals of their goals and competencies.

7. Executive committees can generate greater creativity as they brainstorm for new ideas and campaigns.

8. Leaders become more effective decision makers as they see the relationship between their problems, scenarios, and solutions.

How Women Can Appear More Authoritative

While most men have a natural air of authority about them, many women need to work atthis. Having gravitas, that intangible quality that defines a person as executive material, is an important consideration for advancement. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO affirms, “Women should be able to project this quality to express that they are ready for more responsible roles.”She offers these suggestions for starters:

1. Dress well. Invest in quality separates that you can mix and match for differing looks. Spruce up the look with decent-looking accessories.

2. Make eye contact when you speak with others.

3. Claim your turf. Stand tall. Walk with purpose.

4. Keep affirming yourself with positive self-talk.

5. Act professional at all times. Quit the girlish talk and behavior.

6. Speak with authority. This starts with a regular pitch, rises mid-way and drops at the end. Do not end sentences on a high pitch that makes you sound uncertain.

7. Do not undermine your statements with apologies or disclaimers like, “I doubt whether…,” “ I am not sure if…”

How Leaders Handle Stress

Leaders need to practice calm and composure at the workplace. This is easier said than done considering the responsibility and workload that build up stress. Yet, good leaders view stress as a positive. Indeed, stress can move one to action, helps one focus to get the job done, and stay competitive and marketable.

Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO affirms, “Stress can propel one to take the right action and work at being productive. The important thing is that the stress level is managed so it does not turn toxic making one feel overwhelmed and paralyzed at work.” She shares these tips on how leaders are able to get a grip at the workplace:

1. A leader knows himself and constantly finds ways to reconnect with his core values.

2. He knows when to say no. He realizes when it is best to cut tasks from his list or delegate them to responsible people.

3. He develops talents who are responsible and rewards them justly.

4. A leader does not waste time on trying to control things he cannot.

5. He stays fit. He has a healthy lifestyle

6. He organizes his personal and professional life.

7. He recharges and mindfully renews his motivation when faced with challenges.
