Read Faster, Remember
More
with Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics®
An indispensable seminar for
all business people!
When you were
in school, did anyone teach you how to develop the following skills:
 |
how to study
and learn? |
|
how to take
notes? |
|
how to listen?
|
|
how to read
a book with a strategy? |
This one-day seminar will meet all of these needs and more. You will have
the opportunity to develop your critical thinking skills as you learn
to read faster, while comprehending and remembering more.
Because reading is an integral part of business, it is among the most
used communication skills, and the most underdeveloped. Information
is being transmitted to us at the speed of light, and we're expected
to absorb it just as fast.
Technology (including the copy machine, the fax, and the computer)
has contributed to the overwhelming amount of paper we find on our desks
and filling our in-boxes. A speed reading course is no longer an elective,
but a necessity. Business consultants have indicated that an essential
component of time management is knowing how to read faster.
