David will take you through a simple process using techniques that will immediately improve your reading speed. n.b. – the average improvement is 40%.
Memory Improvement
A strong and effective memory is an essential tool in the armoury of every MD. Being able to speak without notes, recall names and memorise client details are just three small but powerful examples of how memory training can help you move towards achieving optimum performance.
