Journey towards Life Coaching & Accelerated Learning
My journey of learning – leading up to the creation of the IQ Matrix – began in high school while I was undertaking my VCE studies. I wasn’t one of the most gifted or talented students, however I had an insatiable curiosity and appetite to learn what it was that separated the brightest and most intelligent students from the rest.
For me, those answers came several years after graduation when I dedicated myself to half a decade of research and study into the intricacies of human learning and potential. Over a period of many years I literally engrossed myself in reading hundreds of books, attending over a dozen human potential seminars and listening to business and personal development audio programs around the clock.
Over this period I also attained my Life Coaching Qualifications, which further enhanced my knowledge, awareness and understanding about the dynamics of achieving our peak potential in business, academics, sports and life. This consequently lead to the development of the MasterMind Matrix Self-Coaching tool, which can be used to great effect to help us overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our ongoing success.
Furthermore, I came to the conclusion that what separates the brightest and smartest students from the rest comes down to three distinct factors:
- The questions they ask themselves on a consistent basis.
- Their self-concept and belief in their own abilities.
- Their approach to learning.
All the above built the foundations of the IQ Matrix Accelerated Learning tool.
The Development of the IQ Matrix
The development of the IQ Matrix was more of a journey rather than a sudden revelation.
I began utilising Visual Maps for learning while I was undertaking a Psychology and later a Business degree at University. Back then the concept of making a living from Mind Maps was far from my mind; nevertheless I was consistently experimenting with new strategies and ideas on how to cut down my study time and accelerate my learning potential.
Over these critical years the concepts and foundations slowly started to piece together – particularly after I was introduced to Mind Mapping, created by Tony Buzan. I incorporated these Mind Mapping principles into my study routine and discovered that I was not only Accelerating my Learning Potential but also saving an incredible amount of time in the process. In fact, learning for the first time had become very easy, insightful and fun. My University marks immediately improved and I discovered something incredibly fascinating that I never thought I had the potential to do; I developed the capacity for a Photographic Memory.
Over the coming years I would do further research into not only Mind Mapping but also Concept Mapping, Question Mapping, Radial Mapping, Linear Mapping, Interactive Mapping, Comparison Mapping, Hierarchical Mapping, Convergent Mapping, Cyclical Mapping, and Flow Charting. I thought that if he could somehow combine the most potent and effective features and ideas from each “map type” that I could dramatically accelerate my learning potential and ability.
Soon these strategies evolved from paper mapping to computerised mapping, giving birth to the concept that is known today as an IQ Matrix.
