Enhanced Learning Skills and Strategies for Adults

Learn how you learn and how to enhance what you do already, in addition to discovering techniques used by others that may fit your personal processes and learning strategies.    Schools claim to teach this implicitly--but rarely offer courses such as "How to Memorize" or "How to Acquire Information."  The result for most students is wasted time with rote (repetition) learning.

This workshop complements the "Thinking" workshops and has some overlap, but the various workshops' general objectives are very different.  The Learning workshop focuses on enhancing skills relevant to acquiring and retaining new information--memory, memorizing and learning. The Thinking workshops focus on using information you have (and recognizing what might be missing).

The workshops use both traditional and accelrated learning techniques.

Sample Outcomes

Workshops are tailored to clients’ needs.  Sample workshop outcomes include, but are not limited to, learning one or more of the following techniques:

• Pleasure: Neural activity takes energy. We tend to have energy for what we enjoy, and little left for what we don't like.   Various methods are shown to add pleasure to learning.
• Build on strengths:  Most of us have near perfect retention for some topics.  Learn how you do what you already do.
• Practical accelerated learning based on whole brain and multiple intelligences techniques.
• Practical memory tricks (mnemonics) for words, dates, names, numbers, lists.
• Special topics:  Retaining visual information for auditory learners; and auditory information (foreign words, names) for visual learners.
• Identity & Beliefs Related to Learning:  Many are limited by outdated limiting beliefs about their abilities. Re-calibrate your beliefs about your ability to learn and or memorize.
