Challenge & Selection  I am a consultant in an IT firm with more than ten years of experience and I decided to become  an entrepreneur. I have no clear idea about what is the ideal job for me but I decided to apply a  design thinking tool to this wicked problem. The challenge here is about how I should mix my  current skills with my passions and increase my impact to help others.  I decided to choose the mind map tool to free my mind and give a structure to my thoughts.  Application  First of all I tried to list all my skills by asking myself, my friends and my family: that was an  amazing sensation that other people knew me more than what I expected.  The second step was to list all my knowledge.  Actually, I would like to be a trainer, so the biggest challenge now is how to formulate my  service offer. So I used mind mapping to find out some problems with big impact and urgence,  with a big value by asking again around me: what are your problems and struggles now that you  need to solve immediately because it prevents you from being happy and more satisfied.  Again, it helps me to find some personas and formulate an offer that has a big impact.  Insight & Approach  I think the Mind map tool allows us to structure ideas when the complexity is high and it really  relieves your mind from a vicious circle of thought without any tangible result. In my case I had  to combine so many parameters and subjective data to find out my vocation and accelerate my  decision. I had to combine my skills and knowledge, with some real problems and needs to find  out people that need help and especially people that I can help without losing sight of my  passions.  I Think I will also use Mind mapping in individual coaching not only in workshops with teams. It  is a strong tool to use in individual issues when we need to see clearer the problem and find out  innovative solutions. In my next use, I will set a prototype of questions which will help finding  solutions by issue category and then set a database of how we can address some current  issues as a first base of reflection.
