So Many People, So Little Time...
By Chris Lyons, The Memory Coach

Imagine you are at an important business function or networking event packed full of potential new clients, customers and contacts.

Now imagine, in the next 5 minutes, being introduced to 50 new people - one after another - and having to commit all of their names to memory... and then recall each person's name perfectly.

If you're like most people the mere thought of such an ordeal is enough to make your palms go sweaty and your mind go blank, if it hasn't already left the room!

So imagine subjecting yourself to this delightful experience... voluntarily.

Welcome to the Australian Memory Championships.

And just one of 10 events designed to s-t-r-e-t-c-h your mind to see what it is really capable of. And capable it is. More so than you may think.

Now perhaps you may never need to remember 50 people's names very quickly all at once. But perhaps it may just be useful - and good business - to be able to remember the names of the people you meet each day... colleagues, suppliers and customers.

And perhaps, on occasion, it may be nice to be introduced to 6, 7 or even 8 people at once and be able to remember their names... instead of them going in one ear and directly out the other.

After all, it's a fairly common situation we all face from time to time, particularly in business. So why is it that few business people are good at this basic business-sales-relationship-building skill?

The reason... is that most people have never been shown how to do it.

Last September I took part in the Australian Memory Championships, correctly memorising and recalling 46 names in 5 minutes to win the Names competition.

How did I do it?

You may be surprised to learn that the method I used was remarkably simple. So simple that you could learn it quickly and start using it straight away.

So come and join us at The Hidden Advantage Workshop and I'll show you in person how to remember people's names, lots of people's names - and actually have fun doing it.

The Hidden Advantage Workshop

Melbourne - Saturday 10 October
Sydney - Saturday 17 October

Not only will you learn how to remember names, you'll also discover how to deliver fantastic presentations completely from memory - no more death by PowerPoint - plus numerous ways to use your memory at work to save time and get more done each day.

You'll also learn the truth about speed reading and the real way to double your reading speed. And lots more besides.

"The memory sessions were brilliant and I have since used one of the techniques to present a one hour training session without notes - a feat  I would never have thought possible before this workshop." Glen Frost, Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers "Excellent simple techniques. Amazing improvement in 1 day. Incredible." Justin Ezard, Manager, PKF Chartered Accounting "The most useful training I have been to… ever. Great presenter and I learnt many things I will be able to use on a daily basis." Jessica Cutting, Senior Strategic Planner, Bayside City Council "Well rounded day that develops areas that traditional business courses don't touch." Andrew Randall, Finance Manager, SP Ausnet "An excellent day's training that everyone should do. Chris is a super presenter and can back-up his teachings by using on the spot examples." Darryn Thomson, Financial Accountant, BSH Home Appliances "The most enjoyable, most practical course I've ever done - can be applied to anything." Mario Kos, Royal District Nursing Service "A fun filled day which will genuinely save time and assist me in finding that elusive work-life balance." Kate Melrose, Global Manager Strategic Marketing Lend Lease "The best course I've ever done. I would recommend this course to all sales people." Aaron Lukeman, Mercury Telephones "A great session. I have heard about memory techniques for years but to actually experience it in a day was like having the lights turned on." Steven Mitchell, McDonalds Australia Ltd "Exceeded even my own expectations. Gloo's techniques are outstanding with undeniable results." Jenny Jones, CFO, Victorian Curriculum And Assessment Authority
