Speed reading
Speed
reading continues to be one of our most popular topics. Even
the most sceptical of learners find that they make astonishing progress in
just a few hours. This is an essential skill for anyone who has to absorb
a lot of information very quickly.
This year we have already run events for a number of higher education institutions: London Business School (for our partner Illumine Ltd), Brunel University, Exeter University and Durham University. Feedback has been excellent, and all clients have already booked dates for further events. We have also organised workshops for elected members in two local authorities: Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council. We look forward to visiting Stroud District Council in the late Spring.
Business writing
Most delegates are surprised at how much they enjoy our writing
workshops. They suddenly find that, with just a little guidance from trainer and writing guru Jane Smith, they too can write with style professionalism and conviction. Best of all they can achieve their writing objectives and impress others with their skills in this area.
So far this year we have run successful events for Pembrokeshire County Council and Durham University.
Mind Mapping and Memory
Many people complain that they find it hard to remember essential things – usually blaming the fact that they are getting older! But in reality anyone of any age can learn how to make better use of their amazing memory – with a little training from memory master Jane Smith.
Recent clients for Word Smiths' Mind Mapping and Memory workshops are Exeter and Durham Universities. We are booked to visit a number of local authorities in 2012.
