I just earned my CTM in March and have done one speech towards my ATM-B. I have tremendous respect for the long road it takes to become a DTM. I'm in District 33, but I won't be attending my district conference next week. I did attend the International Conference last year in Reno and had a blast though.

I use a hub and spoke diagram on a sheet of paper for brainstorming. Something about the circular format helps the ideas flow a little better. I really like your twist by brainstorming "20 ways to improve" and taking the time it takes to come up with 20 answers. This is one of those simple little things that can have huge rewards. Almost on the same level as your "triple your productivity" technique. Thanks! John P.S. Off to our Toastmasters district 12 conference tomorrow. Great speakers planned! Day 12 out of 30 on my blog updates. Thanks for the challenge! Wow Steve, another great post. I use a hub and spoke diagram on a sheet of paper for brainstorming.

When I want to generate new ideas, I use it often. When I already have a lot of ideas and want to explore the relationships between them, I use mind-mapping instead.
