Making the Most of Your Memory

One-day in-house workshop

Learn how to analyse, organise learn and remember large quantities of information with this always-popular development workshop.

Every single thing we do or say involves memory. Our memories make us who we are, and the level of confidence we have in our mental powers is central to the way we approach life.

Many people complain of having a poor memory. But in reality everyone has an infinite capacity to remember, if they only they knew how. In business, a trained memory can provide you with a priceless asset. If you learn to use it effectively, you can approach your work with confidence, communicate successfully, organise your time and carry out every task with purpose and creativity.

Many people have found that Mind Mapping has revitalised their whole approach to thinking and note taking. But more than that, Mind Mapping is a tool for boosting confidence and personal growth.

Is it for me?

This course is for anyone who wants to realise more of their potential for storing and recalling facts and ideas. Its aim is to help you to learn how to improve your memory and how to use Mind Maps for thinking and note- taking.

If you continue to practice these techniques, your ability to grasp, analyse and recall facts and ideas will greatly improve. The learning is creative and fun. We hope you’ll enjoy it – most people do.
