About us
Our mission
At MindMaps Education, our mission is to help teachers and schools foster wellbeing and professional growth. We believe that investing in teachers’ mental and emotional health empowers them to support their students more effectively and creates a positive ripple effect throughout the entire school community.
Our Educational Philosophy
We see education as a shared narrative between children and the adults around them. Strong relationships and meaningful stories form the foundation of effective learning. Our programmes focus on:
- Narrative learning: encouraging teachers to use storytelling and real‑world examples to engage students and cultivate empathy.
- Connection and relationship building: strengthening the bonds between teachers, parents and children so that wellbeing begins at home and extends into the classroom.
- A “rising tide lifts all ships” mindset: we believe that when teachers are empowered to be their best selves—energised, focused and supported—the whole school community benefits.
As a small organisation, we’re starting with what we can do in schools—delivering CPD programmes that scale across staff. Our goal is to support teachers so that they can, in turn, support their students, and eventually expand to include parents and families.
About me
I’m Arjun Davé, founder of MindMaps Education — and my journey into teaching hasn’t been the usual one.
Before working in schools, I spent years in sales and marketing, learning how people communicate, cope under pressure and respond to challenge. After leaving that world, I travelled widely — spending time in street schools, visiting monasteries across different traditions, and learning from communities where wellbeing and purpose are woven into daily life.
Those experiences shaped everything I now teach.
I began training in self-development at 20: coaching, NLP, emotional intelligence, behavioural frameworks and contemplative practices — all while navigating life as a dyslexic learner. When I eventually entered teaching, I realised how crucial those tools really were.
Across seven years in education — including a year travelling between schools as a supply teacher — I saw the same pattern everywhere: teachers were committed, overstretched and often unsupported, no matter the postcode or leadership style. The challenge wasn’t individual schools — it was the system, and the load staff were expected to manage without support.
That realisation sharpened a belief I’d been forming for years:
There is a better way to support the adults who support our children.
MindMaps Education brings together everything I’ve learned — coaching, wellbeing science, reflective practice and modern AI — into practical tools that help educators feel calmer, clearer and more connected.
I believe wellbeing is an ecosystem. When one person becomes more grounded, capable or supported, everyone benefits — teachers, leaders, parents and children.
MindMaps exists to make that shift possible: through training, coaching frameworks and CPD that help schools build the wellbeing, confidence and clarity needed to thrive.
