Mind mapping is a way to create and deliver a speech in a natural and effective manner.

It relies on the "whole brain", i.e. images, colors, and associations.  Try it, you will be amazed at the results.

Below is a Mind Map of the Mind Map process and below that is and example of a Mind Mapping that I used to prepare a speech.  

I prepared this flow-chart using Visio 2000 Professional software.   You do not need expensive software though as the example below this shows.  I used colored pencils and markers to prepare the example

Try it, you will like it.

An example that I used to prepare a speech entitle "The Wizard of Oz - Americas Favorite Myth" is shown below.  I found that it was easier (or more fun) to prepare the speech and much easier to deliver.  I did not have to keep looking down at my notes and also received some of the best feedback that I had ever received.
