Save precious time with power reading
Don’t feel overwhelmed by the volume of reading you encounter at work. Power reading can improve concentration and allow you to choose only the most useful material to read and retain.
Greater understanding and retention
In any company, reading is a huge part of your day-to-day. The Power reading system helps you get through your business reading in a fraction of the time it does now – learn to read more efficiently and absorb more information.
Reduce reading stress
We are constantly bombarded with information and if we aren’t processing it correctly, you and your staff can feel swamped and stressed. School taught you to read at a walking pace, Power reading helps you run through your reading material with ease and maintain comprehension.
Power Reading
Do you feel intimidated by the volume of material that crosses your desk and computer screen each day? There is so much to read, absorb, analyse, and retain and so little time. Lengthy documents such as board reports could take an hour to read through, and as that all important meeting looms, stress levels rise.
If you could triple your reading speed and keep your comprehension, how much time would save? Our one-day workshop sharpens those skills, freeing up your day and stopping you getting bogged down.
We can help you understand the basic structures of writing, so you can find information quickly and easily, and retrain your brain to unlearn slow reading habits. The average reading speed is 200wpm with 60% comprehension. Typically, at the end of the workshop participants are averaging 600+wpm with 85% comprehension.
