By Chris Lyons
Director, Gloo - The Memory Company




Have you ever felt that...

  • There just simply aren't enough hours in the day?
  • That you are not achieving all that you could?
  • And that opportunities are passing you by?

If so, you are not alone.

One of the biggest challenges facing anyone working in an organisation today - whether large or small - is tackling the mountain of information that confronts you every day.

And it's frustrating. Because we all know that the key to success in business is to focus on the important things. But it's easier said than done. Especially when you're spending more and more time dealing with Information Overload!

What you need is a set of simple and effective tools to save you time and help you achieve more. Tools which let you...

  • Slash the time needed to plan projects, prepare reports and presentations
  • Read much, much faster... and remember more of what you read
  • Remember names and other important business information
  • Impress clients, colleagues and key people you deal with

But it's not just about saving time and getting better results. That's a given.

If you deliberately, purposefully and systematically apply these tools something strange will begin to happen.

People will notice.

You'll gain a reputation as someone who does things differently, someone who thinks differently. And in business that's what counts - your reputation. It's often what other people think of you that determines how successful you are.

"Start the process of unlearning the bad memory and reading habits of a lifetime in just 1 day."
Ian Hallett, CEO, Halletts Financial Services Group

"Really useful tools that will benefit me in all aspects of my life - and presented in a very entertaining and effective manner."
Selina Stanford, Partner, Ascent Audit

"A must for business people."
Bronwyn Matthews, General Manager,
Mercury Telephones

"Simple and effective tools to use immediately. Very enjoyable, fun and interactive."
Adnan Mohamed, MBA Student



The 3 Most Overlooked And
Underused Business Tools

So what are the 3 tools that are overlooked by most ordinary business people?

  • Memory
  • Speed Reading and
  • Visual Thinking Techniques

These tools can save you time and give you an edge at work, an unfair advantage. What's more, few people in business are using them. Partly because there have been just a handful of courses tailored for people like you.

In fact, until recently you would have to spend time and money attending separate courses on each subject.

But now, for the first time, you can gain an effective introduction to the combined power of these 3 business tools in just 1 day.


"The biggest benefits for me have been that I can now remember when I need to and cover a lot more written material than previously - a significant boost to my productivity."
Lyndie Spurr, Executive General Manager,
Royal District Nursing Service

"Excellent starting point for school or business."
Chris Lyne, Area Manager, Auscott

"Great day. Enjoyable and fun. The memory systems are really useful. Very good pace, no time wasted."
John Shanahan, CEO, Colmar Brunton



Introducing...

When you attend this unique workshop, you'll be introduced to the brain-friendly techniques used by thousands of people all over the planet to read faster, remember more and tap into their natural creativity.

You'll see exactly how these time-tested, proven techniques work and why they are so powerful, particularly when used in business.

And we've limited the workshop to just 12 people maximum. So by the time you walk out the door, you'll have had first hand experience of using them yourself.


"Great course...had a ball! Interesting, fun and challenging. Thanks!"
Vicki Dempsey, Executive Assistant,
National Museum of Australia

"Energetic, positive presentation of very useful techniques."
Heather McMillan, Director, McMillan Staff Development



Why Attend?

As you're probably realising right now, this isn't your average training course.

Far from it.

Sure, you'll increase your reading speed and be able to remember more than you ever thought possible. (It feels great to do things you didn't think you could do!)

And the techniques you learn will save you heaps of precious time for years to come. Which means you can get more done and focus on the important stuff that you know makes a difference.

But what it's really all about is YOU... and your natural potential. It's about thinking differently and getting better results. It's about discovering and using more of your hidden talents.

The bottom line - it's about giving yourself a Hidden Advantage which most other business people are missing out on.


"One of the main areas of benefit for me is that the information provided has allowed me to maximise my organisational productivity. Highly recommended."
Anne Oakley, Manager, Melbourne Citymission

"Entertaining and engaging. I feel armed with practical techniques to make a greater contribution in what I do."
Mick Daley, COO, Sylvan Australia

Is For You If...

You are at the start of your career and are keen to give yourself an edge and get ahead. Or you may already be a successful middle or senior manager looking for more effective ways of doing things - for yourself, your team or your organisation.

You may be a professional working in an information-rich environment. Or you may be in a sales role and wanting to impress your clients and stand out from the pack. Or you may even run your own business and be looking for tools to further boost your success.

Whatever your current position, this workshop is for you if

  • You are frustrated by Information Overload
  • You are looking for different ways to get more done, faster
  • You want to double your reading speed
  • You want to improve your memory
  • You want to unlock more of your innate creativity

Or you may simply want to stretch your mind and discover the satisfaction that comes from using more of your true potential - and doing things you never thought you could.


"Great practical suggestions that will easily be incorporated into my daily work schedules. Very entertaining delivery."
Ann Dalton, ACT Branch Director,
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia



Here's What You'll Learn

In just 1 day you'll gain a rapid grounding in the following 3 business tools.

BUSINESS TOOL #1 Memory

How important is a good memory to your success at work?

In the Gloo Memory Survey, 85% of people rated having a good memory at work as 'very important'. What's more

  • 75% of people admitted to having trouble remembering names
  • 74% felt stressed by forgetting things
  • 66% were concerned about memory loss as they get older

And it's easy to see why. Forgetting names can not only be embarrassing, if it's a customer it can also be costly. Forgetting to do things can waste time, delay projects and cost money. Forgetting key business information can affect your confidence and ruin your reputation.

In contrast, if you have a good memory people will naturally assume you are highly intelligent (which of course you are). People will also assume that you are competent at what you do.

So here's what you'll learn

  • The real keys to remembering what you need to at work
  • The 3 step process for making names stick
  • How to build an unforgettable A-Z 'Visual Vocabulary' of names
  • How to remember numbers, facts and the things you have to do
  • How to use the Journey Method to give great presentations without referring to notes even once and impress your clients and colleagues
  • A guide to the most effective memory systems and techniques
  • Inside tips and techniques used by memory experts to perform record-breaking feats

At the Australian Memory Championships, I correctly memorised and recalled 118 names and faces in 15 minutes from photos I had not seen before. Impressive? Perhaps. Mysterious? Definitely not. I just used a technique. And you can learn how to use it too.  

Memory is a skill. And it's probably the single most overlooked and underused business tool of all.

BUSINESS TOOL #2 Speed Reading

In a world exploding with information, learning to read faster - or I should say more effectively - is a no-brainer. It can save you heaps of time.

This is especially so if you work in an information-rich environment. You may be a lawyer, doctor, accountant, teacher or other professional who needs to keep up-to-date with ever-changing information.

Or you may be studying for professional exams and want to discover how to absorb and retain information rapidly.

Here's what you'll learn

  • Speed reading - common myths, misconceptions and how reading faster can actually improve your comprehension and recall
  • 4 widespread reading problems - why most people read well below their capability
  • Keys to effective speed reading - how to get your brain and eyes working together to eliminate reading problems
  • 3 techniques to raise your reading speed while increasing comprehension and recall
  • The BDA approach to remembering more of what you read

With the correct techniques and a little practise many people can double their reading speed. Take a moment and just think how much that would boost your productivity now and in the years to come!

BUSINESS TOOL #3 Visual Thinking Techniques

Visual thinking and planning techniques are a simple yet powerful way to get organised and save time, especially when applied to common business tasks.

They can be used to plan projects, prepare reports and presentations, solve problems, sort and organise large amounts of data, and communicate complex information quickly and effectively... plus much more besides.

Here's what you'll learn

  • What is visual thinking and why it such a versatile business tool?
  • How to use visual thinking to prepare reports in a fraction of the time
  • How to use visual thinking techniques to run effective meetings
  • How to use the GO method to slash the time needed to prepare presentations
  • How to get started with visual thinking at work

I use visual thinking and planning techniques every single day and they save me countless hours each week. Discover for yourself how you too can use them to save yourself valuable time each day.

So as you can see, it's an information-packed day full of practical tools, tips and techniques to save you heaps of time and boost your business success. All designed to give you a 'Hidden Advantage'!

Who's Leading The Workshop?

Your trainer for this workshop will be myself, Chris Lyons. I'm a Director of Gloo - The Memory Company, an Australian Memory Record Holder and past organiser of the Australian Memory Championships.

My background also includes over 10 years' experience working in senior management roles in large public and private companies in Australia and the UK.

In January 2006 I doubled the Ultimate Australian Memory Record by reciting Pi to 4,400 places without error - to have a go yourself click here!

I've appeared on The Today Show, A Current Affair, Today Tonight and demonstrated how effective memory techniques can be on radio stations all around Australia including 2UE, 2GB, 3AW and the ABC.

But more importantly, my main focus is on delivering unique, fun and highly effective workshops and coaching programs that show you how you can profit from your memory - whatever your age or situation.

Because memory is a skill. And it's probably the single most overlooked and underused business tool of all.

I've been using these techniques myself for the last 20 years. I'm passionate about them - because they work!

Yet it constantly amazes me how few business people have realised the huge benefits you can gain from learning and applying these techniques at work.


"A fantastic course that has expanded my memory ability. Chris, your enthusiasm to coach was inspiring and made it very easy to pick up the techniques. I use them every day at work."
Kirsty Turner, Senior Manager, Mayne Group
