"I met Tony Buzan, 'The Brain' behind the Mind Map®, in Sydney in October 2002 when he was presenting a public seminar on 'Leadership and Multiple Intelligences'.  At the time I had yet to become a Buzan Licensed Instructor in Mind Mapping®, having enrolled for the November 2002 accreditation.  I personally wanted to thank Tony for the gift of his work and so presented him with a special Mind Mapping® cap.  (With the greatest respect to Edward De Bono and his 6 coloured thinking hats, with the Mind Mapping® cap you only need the one!)"

"Attending Tony’s seminar was like no other I had attended, whether throughout my university days or in my corporate capacity. The difference… the way he treated his audience".

In the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe…

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you can help them become what they are capable of becoming."

Tony knew that each and every audience member was at best using some 1% of their brain’s potential, which made each and every audience member a potential GENIUS!  And that is exactly how Tony treated his audience.  Each is a potential GENIUS! And each participant appeared to rise to the occasion.  Not only did Tony treat people how they were capable of becoming but he also gave them a powerful tool to help them do so – the Mind Map®!
