Where is the training conducted?Training can be conducted locally in Yarram (typically at The Wellington Shire Hub) in Gippsland or at a range of venues to suit. Businesses may attend the local venues or provide the venue space in-house. Costs include the direct training fee and additional charges may include venue hire and/or travel costs which are kept to a minimum. Most affordable training per person is in groups, which are typically in the range of 10-20. Facilities include electronic screen and whiteboard for full interactive training.

Do I need to bring my laptop?No... but feel free to bring if you prefer to make notes through a keyboard. The training includes a notebook and worksheets for establishing own key words etc, so really, you don't need to bring anything other than an open mind and a willingness to try something very new.

I'm a manager and have to frequently present to staff and the board on a range of complex issues... so how can memory training help me?We understand that having to present reports, documents and policies can be tough for managers, even when documents are circulated in advance and then meetings held to breakdown and deliver points. Memory training helps one to easily commit the main points by paragraph to memory to aid and expand delivery with eye contact and confidence - vs. reading from a document they already have - so this can be an extremely powerful means of demonstrating your authority and providing your audience with great comfort in knowing that you are fully across the issue. That is memory training.

I'm in sales; can memory training help me when meeting with clients?Being tasked to remember a lot of product features and benefits is par for the course for sales professionals - we know this. And when meeting with new or potential clients, the sales person will need to take on board the details of their organisation, their issues... if and how your organisation might have solutions for their problems. So, research prior to such meetings can be intense. Just like for a job interview, the client will want to know how much you know about them and if you have research their company and field. So, imagine, especially if you are competing with other providers, the impact of being able to rattle off a number of pertinent questions, to be able to pull out of the air (having committed to memory,) pertinent facts on their organisation... This is where memory training can help to be the standout candidate.

As a regular public speaker, I want to get rid of cue cards when I give talks; can memory training help me?It certainly can; most of us started life when having to give talks with our cue cards in hand... the whole purpose being, not to embarrass ourselves by forgetting something. Of course, the more expert we become, the audience looks towards the speaker for just that, so from when a talk is accompanied by a slide show, the less one is reading from a card, the more relaxed, authoritative and expert one appears... and so the more is the expertise recognised. Memory training can help you dispense with those cue cards forever.

I'm studying History and English Literature; can memory training help me with important dates and events?Absolutely! In fact, the very nature of "mind's eye" and its relationship to the inherent alpha-numeric system, makes dates of historic events, whether fictional or real, cna be among the easiest to apply new found memory skills.

I'm a high school teacher; I see a few of my students will be using memory techniques to aid with recalling information in, say, exams; should I consider the same training so that I might help them on both the subject and memory fronts?A very good question and thank you for your interest. There is no doubt that a student's grasp of any subject is a measure of their understanding and the quality of teaching. Introduction of memory training techniques into the classroom should be seen as an innovative tool. As you know, memory is the process of encoding, storing and retrieving information... and so the simpler the encoding method, the easier the recall... which is what students need! So, yes... to be across the same memory enhancement methods as students will aid them enormously and hopefully add to the teaching role in terms of success and lessening of stresses at exam time!

I'm a primary school teacher; how can memory training help the younger students?While young children are still developing cognitive skills, memory training which is incorporated into playful and engaging activities, such as games, puzzles, and interactive exercises can make the learning process enjoyable for children, fostering a positive attitude towards memory enhancement. The beauty of memory training is the pictoral approach and as children are relative sponges for information, they can pick up so much and take through studies and later learning programs.

I had a stroke; can memory training help me with some short-term memory issues?Experts are agreed that physical exercise in getting oxygen to the brain and via muscle contraction to stimulate neuron expansion, along with mental exercises are very important as early as practicable after an event. Memory training will provide a system of remembering which most people will not have been exposed to before. As such, the techniques taught are designed to truly stretch the brain in terms of stimulating neurons and new neural pathways.
