Speed Reading for Greater Business Productivity

The knowledge-based economy of this new era demands the individual to allocate more time and resources to learn new things and learn them fast. What has been learnt becomes outdated equally fast as well. There is a need for the student of today to develop self-fulfilling learning skills, which will propel him into this new era. The key to success lies very much on the ability of the individual student to learn the information fast.

This program gives the participants an overview of how to improve reading speed and comprehension. If their reading speed is doubled, half of every hour spent reading their journals, memorandum, articles and other reading sources could be more profitably used for important revision and other activities. It is a fact that people who read faster tend to comprehend better. This workshop will also cover the dynamics of how the human brain and mind perceives information and processes it. By understanding this, they are better able to focus their attention to what is being read and comprehend it better.
