Anthony Willoughby – Territory Mapping
(from The Independent Review, Monday 4 April 2005 – How to become a genius)
“Like Tony Buzan, Anthony Willoughby believes in the power of non-linear notes. His favoured technique is “territory mapping” – describing problems and ideas in the form of maps. “Everyone can draw a map of their life story: the rivers they’ve crossed, the mountains climbed, and where they are trying to get to,“ he says. The benefits can be spectacular, especially if the map-maker looks beyond the conventions of the Western civilisation.
For six years, Willoughby’s company has taken City workers on trips to stay in Masai villages in Kenya. “When the Masai and the businessmen meet, they think they have nothing in common,” Willoughby says. “But once they have drawn their life journeys, showing where they have picked up the knowledge, skills and experience that have made them who they are, they realise they are very similar.” Willoughby says that accountants from the Home Counties and warriors from East Africa pick up much the same skills and experience at much the same times in their lives, whether by herding cattle in the savannah or chasing girls in Slough.
Willoughby, who has travelled widely, had the idea for territory mapping while in a village in Papua New Guinea 20 years ago. He was struck by how focused and happy its inhabitants seemed. “ They seemed totally self-assured and confident of what was expected of them.”
Determined to find the secret of their peace of mind, Willoughby asked one man what the single most important thing in his life was. He replied: “My territory.” From this, Willoughby and his business partner Jo Owen developed the idea of getting people to draw their lives – and their businesses – as a physical map. Those who have used his services include GlaxoSmithKlyne and the London Business School.
In a typical “territory mapping” session, Willoughby asks businessmen to imagine themselves in the year 10,000BC, and to draw the challenges they face in the 21st century in terms that prehistoric man would understand. Suggested metaphors include rivers, mountains, stone axes, enemy hordes and, most important, a hairy mammoth. The beast represents the goal, the ultimate prize for which each person is searching. “Drawing these maps gives you a new perspective on your life,” he says. “It enables you to crash through civilisation and see where you are and where you are going with new clarity.” Those who are confused shouldn’t worry: “There is no right or wrong in mapping.”

Pauline Crawford, Founder of Corporate Heart
Professional Development Consultant and Wellness Coach
As a behavioural expert of 20 years experience, Pauline helps professionals from all sectors to recognise their natural strengths, personality, talents and personal wellness; and helps teams and whole organisations to engage with a renewed energy and transform their culture to be their best.
Pauline runs workshops, one-to-one sessions and inspires large audiences to take more personal ownership and responsibility for ‘who they are’ and ‘what they do’ with their life at work and at play. She is a creator of a new way to ‘map’ behaviour and in doing so helps people to know how their whole body works at it's best.
Her approach teaches people to map and manage their life by improving their own self-value, their inter-personal skills and their personal wellness; physically by maintaining a healthy passionate energy with a well-balanced work style; mentally by feeding a positive pro-active mindset; emotionally by increasing their ability to love, nurture, connect and grow relationships at work and in their whole life, and spiritually by managing even the most ‘difficult’ challenges of life with sound principles!
Pauline’s methods provide a way to build a personal cycle of value everyday, teach ‘mapping’ as a new way to expand personal attributes and influence performance and professional success. Pauline runs Corporate Heart, a consultancy that puts life back into business and provides ways to measure, map, manage and maintain the emotional performance of a workforce to it's best.
Pauline says;
“Everything we need to know, we already know. My work is to release your human value and allow it, naturally, to create your personal best. I help people make wise choices, manage pressure and stress, and embed healthy habits into their life. I help people smile! “
