Does your reading load rob you of precious time for running projects at work and prevent you from spending quality time on your day job? Are you forever playing catch up with emails, reports, journals and the like? Do you actually know how many hours a month you spend reading stuff and have you ever asked yourself why you are reading what you are reading and for what purpose?
Since you learned to read, what other coaching or skills training have you received to help you develop your reading and comprehension skills? Like the majority of people, probably none!
Attending this course will give you all the skills you need to speed through your reading load and remember and recall information with impressive accuracy.
Course Aim
In this one-day course we aim to equip you with a flexible toolkit of reading strategies for different reading material and for different reading purposes.
Course overview
During the morning of this course we look at reading strategies and tactics. You will spend time auditing your reading load, analysing what you read and why and then prioritising the important material. You will produce an initial speed reading/comprehension assessment.
We take a close look at the process of reading, assimilating, understanding and using information to achieve tangible results at work and at home.
You will identify (and replace) unhelpful reading habits which all of us have picked up over the years! New reading strategies are presented giving you the ability to build confidence in increasing your reading speed and comprehension. The morning ends with a session on using right brain faculties to develop speed reading, memory and information recall skills.
Afternoon Sessions
You are coached through seven intensive speed reading skill building sessions. You are introduced to a series of eye exercises to help develop your speed reading skills. At the end of the afternoon you will produce a final speed reading/comprehension assessment and compare this with your initial assessment at the beginning of the day.
Equipment
In the afternoon you will be working with dedicated speed reading software. You will have access to a PC supplied by the venue. You will need to have basic computer literacy and a good command of English.
