“Every teacher, speaker and educator should use NovaMind”, says internationally acclaimed public speaking trainer

By anybody’s definition, Dr Joanna Martin would have to be defined as amazing.

In her first year teaching and selling from the stage, she made $1.25 million, and became an internationally recognized speaker in UK, USA and Australia. In just under three years, she sold over $3.8 million worth of products, and consulted with businesses, making over $47 million in the process…all before her 30th birthday!

She has recently started using NovaMind, and now uses it every day for preparing her presentations. Here is what she has to say about it:

Joanna Martin
“Just wanted to let you know I bought your mindmap software the other day and am head over heels in love with it!

I am using it daily to plan content for teleseminars and trainings. And in the past where I wouldn’t even consider planning a workshop without postit notes, and a lot of wall space to stick them on (!), I can now happily plan with all my usual creativity, but on my baby laptop in the cafe, at 38,000ft, or in the office.

I love how it’s so easy to rearrange your thoughts once you’ve brain-dumped it all out!

Love it love it love it. I only wish I had got onto using NovaMind sooner. It’s awesome and I think every teacher, speaker and educator should use it.”

NovaMind Partners with Memory4Teachers to Provide Teaching Resources and Tools

NovaMind, producer of Mind Mapping for both education and business use, today announced that they have joined the Memory4Teachers initiative which will provide teachers with a range of educational resources and software applications, as well as data storage on 2GB USB keys which will be given away free to 750,000 teachers across the UK.

“NovaMind have been involved in education for the last 7 years, and being able to help out so many teachers with NovaMind Mind Mapping software is like a dream come true for us”, said Gideon King, founder of NovaMind, and internationally recognized expert on Mind Mapping. Gideon King is also the author of the seminal work on the use of Mind Mapping in education, “Teacher’s guide to Mind Mapping”, and says “The effectiveness of Mind Mapping in education has been repeatedly proven, both in the effective presentation of information, memorization, study and research. Specific techniques can be used to engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning simultaneously, leading to much improved comprehension and retention of the information.”

NovaMind has a number of unique features which make it ideal for education, like the ease of creating visually stunning Mind Maps, rainbow coloring, flexible branches, and an all time favourite with the students; the Suggesterator, which suggests new directions for thinking based on the existing content of the Mind Map. It also has the ability to print out Mind Maps without the text on the branches so that students can fill it in with their own keywords for better memorization of the material, and again when revising, starting with the blank Mind Map structure gives visual and spacial cues which have been proven to significantly improve the recall of the actual content.

NovaMind is dedicated to providing the best of Mind Mapping software and educational resources for teachers across the UK through the Memory4Teachers system, and will also be making educational videos available to the teachers and students to further enhance their effectiveness through the use of Mind Mapping and related thinking techniques and tools.

Since 1998, RGS Media Group has been working with the public, voluntary and private business sectors providing creative and cost efficient media solutions specifically within the UK education sector. The Memory4Teachers memory sticks are an extension of this dedication to the education industry, showing yet another initiative which will help teachers significantly through the free storage space, integrated software and resources.

The memory sticks are password secure and are preloaded with a fully interactive control panel, a diary, timetable and lesson plans as well as offering support for all national curriculum subject areas. The memory sticks also provide teachers with direct access to recommended educational websites.

"NovaMind opened my creativity and removed some inner blocks, which in turn produced a richer, deeper, and more passionate message"

Thank you for the privilege of trying NovaMind for the 30 day free demo. It was my very first experience with mind mapping. WOW! What a revolutionary concept supported by the easy-to-use tool of NovaMind.

I have been an Anglican pastor for almost 30 years, preaching thousands of sermons and providing leadership to a large, growing church as Sr. Pastor. The first time I used NovaMind for the preparation of my next sermon absolutely blew me away. NovaMind opened my creativity and removed some inner blocks (kind of like writer's block), which in turn produced a richer, deeper, and more passionate message. The last four Sundays parishioners have saying things like, "I don't know what you are doing differently, but keep it up. Your messages have been so powerful.

I know that I've only scratched the surface of mind mapping, but even as a total beginner the creative potential is totally obvious. I can't wait to see what happens when I use NovaMind for with our church staff in our strategic planning process, now underway. I also purchased Merlin and look forward to seeing the interactive connection between these two products.

Thanks for what you are doing to make NovaMind easier to master - NovaMind has revolutionized my sermon preparation and opened my creative thinking as I prepare messages.

"Get it, well worth the money"

I've been using NovaMind for about 8 months now. It's simply a great tool with more versatile uses than you'd think. Once you get it and start using it you just naturally come up with more ways to use it. Great at mind mapping, brainstorming, notetaking. I highly recommend it. I use it for business, but no college or high school student should be without it.
