Comments About Our Target
Reading Seminars
Outline for Target Reading
Why is this seminar necessary?
Have you ever experienced "Information
Overload"? This occurs when
you feel you have too much information to read,
and not enough time to read it. As a result,
your brain essentially shuts down your higher-level
thinking skills - which reduces your efficiency
(which causes you to miss your deadlines, which
causes more negative stress, etc.).
As working adults, we must read volumes of complex,
poorly structured material under strict deadlines
- combine this with family and social obligations
and it's understandable why we can feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately,
this seminar will show you how to properly manage
your reading assignments through time management,
increased reading speed, improved reading comprehension,
and the effective application of new information.
What will I learn in this
seminar?
In this seminar, you will learn how to use your
personal thinking style to:
●
Read significantly
faster with improved comprehension and retention
●
Manage your time
efficiently when reading for work or school
●
Find the key information
from a variety of sources (print and web) quickly
and easily
●
Take thorough and
relevant notes while reading long, complex,
or boring material
●
Decipher complex
information quickly and thoroughly
How is it possible to
improve my reading skills in as little as 1
day?
In just one day (9:00am - 4:00pm) we
will show you how to recognize words and phrases
in a way that is common for fast readers.
We will also show you how to use your preferred
learning and thinking
style to comprehend complex material
quickly and accurately.
How is this seminar different
from other "speed reading" programs?
Difference #1
-
Reading Speed
This is not a gimmick course. Many "speed
reading" programs will show you how to "view"
5,000 words per minute or faster, which is useful
for researching or reviewing material, but it
is not reading - it is scanning.
To read beyond 1,000 words per minute requires
you to skip words; when you skip words, you
lose comprehension.
As you know, simply having a general understanding
of the reading material is not always sufficient.
Technical materials, for example, require a
slower, more comprehensive reading approach
during certain sections. Our reading methods
actually work like a car accelerator pedal -
you will learn how to adjust your reading speed
to match the material.
In fact, by the end of the six-hour seminar
you will see a dramatic improvement in your
reading speed and comprehension. As you
continue to apply our reading methods, you should
be able to exceed 5,000 words per minute for
"light" reading or research work, and 600 words
per minute for more challenging material.

Difference #2
-
Reading Comprehension
A fast reading speed improves efficiency only
if the reader comprehends the material the first
time through. Therefore, this seminar
involves a heavy focus on reading comprehension.
We will show you how to structure each reading
assignment to ensure the pertinent information
is “locked” in your head for quick comprehension
and fast recall.
To help each you immediately apply this new
skill in your current job, you will actually
practice our reading strategies on your own
work-related (or personally relevant) documents
while in the seminar.
