A KAWA on Being a Role Model
Recognize the power that lies in your actions as a role model. Every small step you take can trigger a wave of change. Be the change you wish to see in the world, and inspire others to do the same. Your actions speak louder than words, and you can show others how to create a positive atmosphere through their own behavior.

What does KAWA actually mean?
KAWA, according to Vera F. Birkenbihl, is an acronym that stands for: Kreative Ausbeute von Wort-Assoziationen (Creative Exploitation of Word Associations). But KAWA is easier to remember. You can create KAWAs on any topic that interests you.
How about creating your own KAWA and why does this technique work?
First, you write the topic in large letters in the middle. I always use the paper horizontally for this and draw the letters so that they can be colored in later. In our Mind Map Template Ring Block, KAWAs are drawn on the left white page. Now you let your thoughts wander and consider what comes to mind about the term and what would be important enough to write down. The rule of the game is: what you write down must begin with one of the letters in the middle. The smaller the term, the fewer letters you have available, and the more you have to think. The lack of letters forces you to think through a topic more intensely. By the way, it's not compulsory to use every letter. And: there's no right or wrong with KAWA. An example: Let's say you want to create a KAWA about your best friend Eva, then you only have three letters available. But you can use them multiple times. Perhaps E stands for elegant, successful, eloquent, for V you find her trustworthy, crazy, and in love, and for A you've associated silly and single. If your best friend had been named Hannelore, you would, of course, have had more letters available.
KAWA becomes KAGA
If you also clad the whole thing in many pictures, your KAWA becomes a KAGA, and the G then stands for Grafie Gestaltung (Graphic Design). I often take notes in KAWA form during meetings. It keeps me alert, no matter how unimportant or boring a meeting is. And I catch everything. Here's an example on the topic: Have fun, Jens Voigt
