Effective and Rapid Reading
The volume of emails, reports, leaflets, magazines and websites that council members are sent is climbing every day. As this happens, our ability to get what we want or need from them is ever more important. This practical and interactive workshop shows participants how to improve their understanding and retention of information from the written word, as well as their reading speed.
Who will benefit?
Any council member who regularly communicates via written documents will find this workshop particularly useful. Many of our participants have told us that attending this course has changed their entire approach to their use of email.
