About the course
In my work environment, I received hundreds of emails a day with detailed plans in many of them. I had to keep up with the products and technologies we developed and manage the instant messaging interactions. On top of that, I had a job to do.
Out of self-defense, I started learning to speed read and found that it wasn't how fast I was reading, it was how I was reading. This course helps you look at content, set and objective for what you need by investing your time to read it, and create a reading approach that meets your objective.
