Memory Power

Paul Mellor

As court reporters know; the record never forgets. And neither will you. This interactive and educational session rids your poor memory from forgotten names, misplaced glasses and statements such as, "I know it's here somewhere," to a mind that’s efficient and reliable. This program dispels the myth that memory can't be improved. It can; easily and effectively. You’ll learn techniques on organizing your thoughts, remembering names and faces, and overcoming absent-mindedness. When you're skilled in memory, all your other skills get better. You can improve your memory. This program shows you how.
