Speed Reading to Accelerate Learning - 1-Day  $385 AUD

Read strategically to increase speed, comprehension and recall to better Manage Information Overload

The more effectively you read the better you maximise your capacity to absorb new information and ensure your success!

Can you read 1,000 words a minute?  With the challenges of information overload you face daily, reading 1,000 words a minute with full comprehension has become a necessary skill for everyone.  Buzan’s Speed Reading techniques work with how your mind works and give you the capacity to effectively handle and manage incoming information, enabling you to keep one step ahead.  

Objective:   

Today's fast paced world demands the ability to rapidly absorb and understand enormous amounts of new information.  It has been estimated by the United Nations that a knowledge worker in most fields needs to be able to read at least 400 Words per Minute in order to just keep abreast of what is happening in their field.  Yet most people read at 300 WPM or less.  This makes many professionals functionally illiterate!  

Benefits:     

When properly applied and used to their full extent speed reading techniques allow people to:

  • Double and even triple their current reading speed
  • Increase reading comprehension with broader vocabulary and improved understanding and recall
  • Make faster connections between related themes, issues and ideas to put these to use
  • Rapidly gain an appreciation of new material, and build their knowledge database 
  • Finally deal with the pile of reports, papers and magazines in the corner, and the unread books on the bookshelf
  • Read on-screen material easily, and manage emails effectively
  • Bring your reading to life using the new knowledge and skills you've gained

Who should attend?

Suitable for Business people, Education (Students and Teachers), Community and Government, Personal Applications and any suffering from Information Overload.

This is a full-day workshop (9:00-5:00) @ $385 AUD

Improved Memory to Achieve Your Goals - 1-Day  $385 AUD

Memory principles and techniques to enhance your chance of success

Have you said, "Oh, if only I had a better memory!"? Memory has been revealed as the number one problem for most individuals. Having excellent memory enhances your chance at success, because when you train your memory and train your imagination, there is a remarkable increase in concentration, comprehension, recall and creativity. 

Objective:     

Today's fast paced world demands the ability to rapidly cover and absorb enormous amounts of new information. This program accelerates your understanding how your mind works to improve your ability to thrive in an age of Information Overload.  We will look at more proven techniques to enhance your memory in a range of business and personal situations.  

In this workshop participants will:

  • Develop an appreciation for why and how memory is the key to your success
  • Discover how The Most Important Graph in the World is their guarantee of personal and business success
  • Use key memory principles to become more positively memorable
  • Learn methods and techniques that enhance short and long term memory
  • Develop the skill of remembering names with faces.
  • Understand how to achieve up to 80% increase in retention of future learning
  • Discover Memory Champions secrets that wow others

Benefits:       

Having excellent memory enhances business and personal success, because when you train your memory and train your imagination, there is a remarkable increase in concentration, comprehension, recall, and creativity.  But having an improved memory has many more advantages, because the principles and skills of memory show you how to make a more positive and memorable impact on others. 

This dramatically increases your rate of success in everything you do - from first meeting someone new, to delivering a great report or presentation, to structuring your marketing campaign, to skyrocketing your career and much more.

Subsequent to this course you will be aware of the following facts of which less than 1% of the population globally is aware:

  • That memory is a mental skill that can be taught, and used in a wide variety of way
  • Memory is designed to naturally improve with age - finally we can all continue to succeed forever
  • Everyone has a potentially superb memory, but few do anything with it
  • Memory’s twin is Creativity. When you enhance Memory you enhance Creativity and that is what is most sought after these days 
  • Traditional ‘training memory’ methods have in fact ‘trained forgetting’ - you will know how to overcome this
  • Science is increasingly coming to the conclusion that our memories are hundreds of times more capable than previously thought. You will be amazed what memory champions (and you) can do!

 

Who Should Attend?

Everyone will benefit from a better memory and using the principles of memory you will become more successful.
