Speed Reading

Managing Directors need to be able to read effectively and quickly. Yet, almost all of them read slowly with poor comprehension, bad retention and low concentration. 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.

David will show you how to tap into your latent and infinite memory ability. You will perform interactive exercises that prove that the techniques work even before you leave the room. n.b. – the average improvement is 80%.

David Thomas

David Thomas had a very challenging upbringing. His mother was an alcoholic and his stepfather was physically abusive to him. At the age of 16 he went off the rails. He got in trouble with the police, attempted suicide, tried to kill a policeman, received a court conviction and was expelled from school.

He joined the Fire Service at 20 and subsequently failed his promotion exams. He bought a book on memory in a desperate attempt to pass his exams and found he had a gift. Within 8 months of buying the book he went to The World Memory Championships and came 4th. He has since gone on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history.

He lives in Halifax, Yorkshire and also holds a US Green Card
