Rapid Reading for Business

Boost your Reading Speed & Comprehension

top Overview

Do you feel intimidated by the volume of material that crosses your desk and computer screen each day? So much to read, absorb, analyse, and retain. So little time.

If the information explosion makes you want to run for cover, then power reading is for you. This system helps you get through your business reading in a fraction of the time it does now. And you won't just read more efficiently - you'll read with greater understanding and retention.

Power reading is not speed reading. It's a way to help you concentrate and a way to help you choose only the most useful material to read.

top Topics Covered

As a power reader, you will:

  • Understand why you read the way you do
  • Retrain your brain to unlearn slow reading habits
  • Understand the basic structures of writing, so you can find information quickly and easily
  • Make your reading an active skill to increase your involvement and understanding
  • Learn to adapt your reading skills for different needs
  • Double your reading speed and increase your comprehension

top Who should attend

This Short Course will assist all those who have to deal with large volumes of reading material

top Outcomes

How much time do you spend reading work-related material (including electronic info)? If all you did was to double your reading speed, how much time would that save? What could you do with that extra time? School taught you to read at a walking pace. Power reading takes you beyond walking – you can run through your reading material with ease. And improve your comprehension. This Short Course is a full day. There’s lots of reading. It’s quite tiring, so be prepared for that.

topWhat Participants Say

"I no longer feel guilty about not reading every word. I tripled my reading rate of words per minute and I am so grateful for the numerous handy tips received. They say 'It's never too late' but I really, really wish I had taken this course earlier in my management career. The skills I learned on this course are immediately useable and are transferable into any position."
