Brain training with speed reading and mind mapping

THE BRAIN AND MORE

Give your brain a powerful, practical upgrade with Brain-Based Learning with Speed Reading and Mind Mapping.

STRUCTURE INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY

Start with a clear understanding of how your brain works, then learn how to structure information using Mind Mapping. This technique activates more of your brain than traditional note-taking, helping you organize complex ideas, prepare projects, and deliver clearer, more effective presentations.

Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn to structure both information and your own thinking process. Even if you’re familiar with mind mapping, you’ll discover new ways to use it more effectively.

HOW YOUR BRAIN REMEMBERS

Why do you remember some things and forget others? Much of this happens subconsciously. In this module, you’ll learn how your brain decides what to retain, using the “Memory Pillars” developed by Purple Monkey.

You’ll discover how to present information in a way your brain recognizes as important—making it easier to remember. You’ll also learn practical memory techniques that help you recall information and speak confidently without notes.

SPEED READING FOR HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY

Most participants double their reading speed during this training. You’ll learn how to eliminate common “speed limiters” like subvocalization (reading in your head) and regression (re-reading text).

We also cover advanced techniques such as scanning and visual guidance, along with practical tips to help you read faster, focus better, and retain more—long after the training ends.
