Hello,
WOW! What an amazing few weeks! We've welcomed 97 new subscribers, and 93 people
accessed our Learning at Work Day free teleseminar -
Using the Brain in
Business. We don't always know where you are in the world, but recent joiners
are from countries including Australia, Denmark, Kazakhstan and Germany. Wherever you're
reading our ezine right now - we're delighted you're part of our brain friendly community
- and do email us to let us know how we can best serve you.
Because of this surge, we're returning this month to what we believe is the
key measure of your effectiveness as a communicator - how well does what you say
and write stick in your audience's memory? How do you know? If you're new to the
ezine, please access
May's edition from the
website, to read about the Ebbinghaus Curve of Forgetting.

Does your organisation, or an organisation you work with, experience challenges
in managing absence?

reduce absence and save costs. A recent example - a transport company reduced
absence by 8.5%, representing 3.5% of sales turnover.
Call Mel Ashworth on 01789 551 665 or

Here's 9 ideas we use which help to trigger memory:
1. Numbering.
2. Understanding.
3. Mnemonics.
4. Breaks.
5. Expectation.
6. Repetition.
7. Imagination.
8. Novelty.
9. orGanisation.
And can you spot the mnemonic we use to help us remember all that?
To learn how these 9 ideas can trigger people's memories of what you say and
write, join us at
Maximising Impact™
. Or to experience all the memory triggers we routinely use (which is now
well over 40!), join us at
How to be a Brain
Friendly Trainer™. Unlike those who learn through more traditional methods,
our learners have the tools to remember up to 100% of what we say and write. What
would be the benefits for you if you were able to say that about your learners?
