Certified BLI finally

I was priviliedged to attend 7-8 of Tony Buzan seminars in SIM. I was beheaving myself and do the the assigments with my best efforts all the time. And with more energy put into the drawing of in all the mindmaps....I somehow gained more and more of the benefits and insights out of the exercises. It certainly not love at 1st sight...but I experienced the beauty of the mindmapping techniques only after 20-30 drawings.

Buzan is of course watching my work along the various seminars...and at the last..he mentioned that my mindmaps are getting better and better. I am more daring and willing to use abit more symbols and self drawn pictures in them.

Then of course, he ask me 3 times personally to join Buzan as a certified trainer. I am indeed deeply honoured to be asked for such a role and I just cannot say no to the master.

So I took 5 days leave and pay thousands of dollars on my own to go through the training of BLI workshop. Of course that is only the beginning. the follow up assignments include :
- 1000 word essay
-100 mindmaps
- 5 x 2 hours teaching (w feedback form to prove)
- 1 video recording of the class

took me 3-4 months to complete the assignments and then I submitted them to Buzan Asia.

And last friday came the good news - I was then officially certified as a BLI...Buzan Licensed Trainer.

From the comments of the MD of Buzan Asia Henry : "Your lesson is engaging and homourous".

And I was handled some extra time teaching assignments at UniSIM soon...I can only do it on Sat morning. But I am moer than willing to try out this adventure.

Long term there is also need for me to do mindmaps teaching / official rules of techniques in Chinese. That will be a more time consuming effort.

Anyway...this is what I set in my goals in 2009 and I have achieved it on time. I am ahppy of the effort I put in and the outcome as well. :) Just want to share my happiness with u all. Cheers.
