"Mounting work pressures, too little time, keeping your knowledge base up-to-date, checking out the competition: we all have to find a way of dealing with todays tidal wave of information. One highly effective solution is speed reading - a technique that is not just about reading fast, but about making your whole reading process more efficient.
This speed reading and information management course will help delegates to sift through the glut of information that bombards them, identify the important items, read them rapidly and assimilate the information they need to retain. The simple but effective techniques that we teach enable virtually everyone to achieve reading speeds of 1,000 words per minute with good comprehension."
