Scope and Objectives

If you've ever been stuck for a name, lost your cool under pressure, or worked all night to meet a deadline -you're not alone.

Psychologists have long pointed out that most of us use only a fraction of the potential of our brains. Which is not surprising when you consider that most of us have been taught more about the operation of a simple electric toaster than about the workings of the brain -the most complex and fantastic piece of computing equipment in the known universe.

If you are going to stay ahead of your competition in this hectic age you need to know how to get the most out of your brain with its billions of working parts and almost infinite complexity. You will be pleased to know that by applying some of the latest research findings in brain function to the way you set about certain tasks, you can realize truly staggering improvements in abilities.

During these intensely practical three days you will come to respect the amazing capacity of your brain. You will learn a range of powerful thinking, learning, planning and communication skills. You will also:
• improve your memory.
• improve your creativity.
• learn how professionals in public life never forget a name.
• learn how to cut meeting times in half.
• learn practical ways to control stress.
• learn how to boost your own or your children ’s
achievements at school, university or technikon.
• dramatically improve your personal effectiveness and productivity.

Make this new knowledge based on the latest research work for you!
