Most of us spend time pouring over the text, wasting time making copious notes, just so we can remember what we\u2019ve read!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save time, read faster, understand better, remember more and avoid information overload<\/strong><br \/>\nIndigo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigobusiness.co.uk\/Workshop\/rapid-reading\">Rapid Reading&#x2122;<\/a> workshop provides you with the tools and techniques to be able to read faster, without losing comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to read quickly is only useful if you can recall relevant information. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigobusiness.co.uk\/Workshop\/rapid-reading\">Rapid Reading&#x2122;<\/a> teaches two tools that help you speed through business documents, whilst rapidly identifying, extracting and remembering key information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mind mapping<\/strong> \u2013 is used to visually summarise information and take notes. It mirrors the human brain\u2019s natural ability to link, connect and associate pieces of information together. Using a combination of key words, images, lines and colour to aid learning, planning, decision-making, problem-solving, creative thinking and also boost memory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speed reading<\/strong> \u2013 isn\u2019t just about reading faster. It provides a number of techniques to ensure you manage and cope with information overload, by adapting your approach to the document you are reading. It can be used for any business document from business books and emails, to reports and proposals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The average business document contains only 20% relevant content to your objectives. This workshop also develops your memory techniques to ensure you can recall the information as and when you need it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you save a day a week?<\/strong><br \/>\nMost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigobusiness.co.uk\/Workshop\/rapid-reading\">Rapid Reading&#x2122;<\/a> delegates double, sometimes treble their reading speed. If you spend 40% of your day reading and you just double your reading speed, without losing comprehension \u2013 you\u2019ll save a day a week!<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigobusiness.co.uk\/Workshop\/rapid-reading\">Rapid Reading&#x2122;<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nUsing your own work-based documents or books, you will learn the tools and techniques required to \u2013 rapidly identify, extract and remember the information you need. Within a day, you should double your words per minute but with similar levels of comprehension.
