Two-day brain training course
The need to process increasing amounts of information and the speed at which knowledge becomes obsolete make speed-learning techniques essential.
We all face an increasing number of daily activities and the need to process greater amounts of information. Knowledge, too, becomes obsolete more rapidly than ever before. Managing the situation requires the mastering of certain techniques that will enable us to learn faster and process information more effectively.
Aim
You will gain general insight into the workings of the brain while at the same time learning techniques to:
• better use your brain capacity;
• learn faster; and
• process information more effectively.
Target group
Managers and others who have to process a lot of information and acquire a great deal of new knowledge rapidly.
Content
This training course provides participants with practical tools to bring the learning organization into practice at a personal level. A broad range of techniques will be discussed and practised.
In addition to providing insight into the workings of the brain and practical tips to better use it in an office environment, this course will cover the following subjects.
• Mind mapping
This technique focuses on activating all parts of the brain, enabling you to learn and memorize better. It helps you structure complex information, organize your thoughts, prepare projects, assignments and presentations and increase your creativity.
• Study and information-processing techniques
How can you learn faster with better results in a more relaxed manner? How can you improve your concentration and motivation? What can you change in your work environment to be more effective?
• Memory
How does your brain work and how can you improve it? How can you apply memory techniques when memorizing subject matter?
• Speed reading
What techniques does the speed-reading world champion use? What can you do to double, triple or even quadruple your reading speed while at the same time gaining a better grasp of content?
In short: how can you achieve more with less energy and less tension?
