About
Tegid Griffiths

Company/ Organisation:

Hannaford Bros., Learning Designer

What is your background?

After 12 years in the British Army (Artillery) and 10 years with the UK Police Services both as an officer and a civilian, I always found myself in a role that ended up developing others either through fitness, leadership, or technology skills.

Moving to the business and hi-tech arena this pattern continued. The goal was to find or introduce new and innovative ways to raise how training was delivered in that organization.

I have moved from a stand-up trainer to virtual classes, eLearning development, and most recently, microlearning using short animations and mobile tools.

How did you feel the course benefited you?

Mind Mapping has been an interest and passion for over ten years, and I have used it in the ideation and development of training programs. Becoming an Innovation Facilitator will provide me with the tools, both technological as well as procedurally, to take this to the next level by providing a collaborative platform that will help take ideas into deliverables.

What do you plan to do with your accreditation?

My goal is to take what I have learned into my team and further into the organization. I am also looking at introducing it to the Adult Education Centers here in Maine as there is nothing like it available currently.

About
Kazuaki KAYABA

Company/ Organisation:

Kayaba Inc., President, Educator, Coach

What is your background?

As an educator, I provide career design to both children and adults and lead them to take action toward a goal.

I am also a member of the Animal Conference on Environment team ( ACE). A key goal of ACE is to encourage awareness of environmental issues from the animal’s point of view. Part of this process has been using mind mapping to create animal characters using mind maps. You can view an example of one of these workshops on my Youtube channel.

How did you feel the course benefited you?

Innovation is needed for mind mapping as instructors generally still use hand drawing. My course will introduce the benefits of digital mind mapping, alongside traditional hand-drawn mind mapping.

During the Covid19 pandemic, the learning environment has been changing.
This course has allowed me to adapt to teaching online and in person.

What do you plan to do with your accreditation?

Since Tony Buzan sadly passed away, mind mapping instructors in Japan need fresh motivation.
I would want to this course and expand this idea and activity as far as I can.
