“Leaders are readers.” I am pretty sure you have heard of this saying. And I think it is very true! Leaders have to read in order to keep them ahead. They constantly need good ideas to move ahead of their competitors and followers.

However, in this information age today, everyone is overloaded with information, they called it information overload. Unless you are not “connected” at all to this world or you are trying to “ignore” information, there is a very high chance that you are faced with this information-overload problem.

One common issue that all of us faced is that we just do not have enough time to read and absorb more knowledge or information, which sometimes can be pertinent to our successes that we need to acquire information, be it for personal or business successes.

Not too long ago, I came across the term “Photoreading” and I was introduced to this amazing technology called Photoreading by Jean Giam, a photoreading coach, based in Singapore. Apparently, I think she is the only Photoreading coach in Asia. To cut the whole story short, basically photoreading is a “skill” that enables you to read faster, so much faster than the usual way of reading that we were taught in school. And I know what you are thinking… it is Not Speed Reading… in fact I think Photoreading seems to be better than Speed Reading…

I guess this video below will give you a better idea of what Photoreading is all about, and whether Photoreading works or not!

Just in case you are keen to find out more about it, Jean is offering a free introductory seminar on Photoreading in Singapore. You can visit www.learnphotoreading.com to find out more information about this reading skill as well as to sign up for the free Photoreading seminar.
