Overview

Course duration: 1 day.

Our ability to remember information and ideas has a significant effect on the way we manage ourselves, our time and our performance. However, according to the latest research, without notes or memory prompts, most of us forget 80% of the information we are exposed to. If we could revive our inherent power of recall, we could dramatically improve the quality and power of our performance.

This course will enable delegates to dramatically increase the amount of relevant information they presently remember. Delegates will have the opportunity to learn and practise several memory techniques to achieve demonstrable success. On completion, delegates will be far more alert to their power of recall and use it intuitively, remembering promises made to phone or write, ‘flashes of inspiration’ that have occurred when they don’t have a pen and paper to hand, and valuable nuggets of information that could make the difference between an average or exceptional performance.
