Speed Reading to Accelerate Learning
- 1-Day
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.
"Good techniques taught in a fun and relaxed presentation"…
Helena Chan…Senior Business Analyst
"Great, the techniques to speed up my reading were actually "taught" in the 3 hours. I saw improvement by the end of the course"
Maria Vetsikas…Analyst/Programmer

Improved Memory to Achieve Your Goals
- 1-Day
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

-
Understand how to achieve up to 80% increase in retention of

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.
"Very Helpful. Simple techniques yet effective. Looking forward to practicing"…
Bernard O’Mally.
