Course Overview Buzans INFO-INTAKE SEMINAR OUTLINE Previously known as Speed Reading - or for the Buzan process it is actually Range Reading because what you will learn is how to take in the written word at a speed and manner appropriate for the information. What you can expect for the seminar is to learn about your eye and brain and how it actually takes in information. Based on this eye-brain information we will show you skills that can enable you to use your equipment far more efficiently! After that it is up to you to apply this information to build a new info-intake habit. During the seminar many people will have their eyes opened as to what is possible. Speed increases will vary depending on the individuals desire to create a new habit. In the past most people have at least doubled their speeds while maintaining their level of comprehension.
