How you will benefit

Imagine the overseas parent company CEO drops the latest business textbook onto your desk. Its 5.30 and you're on your way home. He/she wants your thoughts on it in the morning. Your heart sinks because you've got a full house of stuff to do this evening and there is just no time.

I will show you how to gut the whole tome in under an hour - right - that's 350 pages scanned, mapped and your thoughts sorted. Don't believe me? Look at the video testimonials here.

In the morning you spend 15 minutes with your notes putting your finger on the key points for your team. They are stunned you took less than an hour to master the material.

You will come to think differently about your personal development and the incredible things you can achieve with your life. We have had many reports of positive career and life change following the session. You'll find out how to concentrate, how to keep meetings focussed and productive, how to make better presentations, how to generate ideas, how to read faster - I could go on and on.

And there is no risk. If you are not delighted I will cheerfully give you your money back. Its only happened once so its a promise I can make with confidence.

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. 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. It has billions of working parts and almost infinite complexity.

You'll be pleased to know that you can realize truly staggering improvements in abilities by applying some of the latest research findings in brain function to the way you go about certain tasks.

During these very 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.
• learn Mind Mapping®, Tony Buzan's fabulous tool.
• improve your problem solving and creativity.
• learn how professionals never forget a name.
• learn how to cut meeting times in half.
• learn practical ways of stress management.
• 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!
