Coping with the continuously growing piles of information is enough to overwhelm the most capable person at work today. The need is to find a way of acquiring information faster and with greater comprehension. The answer is Speed Reading and Memory Techniques.
First we will concentrate on developing your Speed Reading skills so that you can make fast work of all the material that you have to read. Then you will learn how to access the most powerful areas of your memory so that you can remember what you read quickly and easily. You will also learn how to work with your memory more effectively, so that you can remember more clearly, and for a longer period of time. The benefits are immediate and lasting.

This workshop provides important and useful information for anyone who wishes to improve the speed of their reading, as well as improve their concentration and retention.

She has also taught Speed Reading to particular groups such as IT specialists, accountants, engineers, lawyers, and MBA students.
Eileen has also developed a number of related courses including Memory Techniques and Study Skills which allow her to help people in all aspects of getting the most value from their reading time.
