Lesley Emanuel is the most energetic person in the WOW team! I love her enthusiasm!! She made us realize that the nature of the world of work is that employers want to know that the skills I have will benefit them at the end of the day. They may not be concerned about how many degrees I have. She argues that the reason why humanities students are the least employed is because they are already perceived as unemployable in the world of work. The reason for this is because their skills are unidentifiable through tangible evidence. She then equipped us to use mind-maps to link all those lessons that we learnt through the World of Work internship program as the tool for persuasion. This method of note-taking helps us to save time and absorb the information rationally and creatively at the same time.
The mental process required in doing a mind map includes silencing the critical left side of the brain and allowing the right side to take precedence in order to allow our creative juices to flow. One needs to create links and allow organizations to surface in order to create new paths. This strategy to learning and connecting new ideas with existing ones will be even handier during our internship where we will have to adapt to the environment as quickly as possible!!! A mind map can be simulated through blogging and may be used in learning, education, meetings, problem solving, planning and verbal presentations. I will definitely take this skill to my workplace as it links the analytical and logical left brain to the creative and vision oriented right side of the brain!
