Have you ever
experienced "Information
Overload"? This occurs
when you feel you have too much information
to read, and not enough time to read it.
As a result, your brain essentially shuts
down your high-level thinking skills - which
reduces your efficiency (which causes you
to miss your deadlines, which causes more
negative stress, etc.).
As working adults, we must read volumes
of complex, poorly structured material under
strict deadlines - combine this with family
and social obligations and it's understandable
why we can feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately,
this seminar will show you how to properly
manage your reading assignments through
time management, increased reading speed,
improved reading comprehension, and the effective
application of new information.
You will learn
how to:
►
Improve your critical reading and thinking
skills
►
Improve your concentration skills while
reading
►
Increase your overall reading speed
►
Improve your overall comprehension
►
Improve your retention and recall of everything
you read
►
Find key information quickly and accurately
►
Decipher complex reading materials
►
Time manage your reading assignments
In just six hours, we
will show you how to recognize words and phrases in a way that is common for
fast readers. We will also show you how to use your preferred
learning and thinking style to comprehend
complex material quickly and accurately.
The longer 12-hour format will provide advanced content and allow for more
in-class practice of the reading methods to ensure you leave
the seminar with a faster reading speed with improved comprehension.

Reading Speed
This is not a gimmick course. Many
"speed reading" programs will show you how
to "view" 5,000 words per minute or faster,
which is useful for researching or reviewing
material, but it is not reading -
it is scanning. To read beyond 1,000
words per minute requires you to skip words;
when you skip words, you lose comprehension.
As you know, simply having a general understanding of the reading material is
not always sufficient. Technical materials, for example, require a slower,
more comprehensive reading approach during certain sections. Our reading
methods actually work like a car accelerator pedal - you will learn how to
adjust your reading speed to match the
material.
In fact, by the end of the six-hour seminar you will see a dramatic improvement
in your reading speed and comprehension. As you continue to apply our
reading methods, you should be able to exceed 5,000 words
per minute for "light" reading or research
work, and 600 words per minute for more
challenging material.

Reading Comprehension
A fast reading speed improves efficiency only if the reader comprehends the
material the first time through. Therefore, this seminar involves a heavy
focus on reading comprehension. We will show you how to structure each
reading assignment to ensure the pertinent information is “locked” in your head for quick comprehension and
fast recall.
To help each you immediately apply this new skill in your current job, you will
actually practice our reading strategies on your own work-related (or personally
relevant) documents while
in the seminar.
