Does your learning suffer from your parents' drama or your teacher's
demands?
Do you want to untangle your ability to learn quickly?
Do you want to Accelerate Learning?
If you do not regularly increase, update and use your
knowledge, you risk being left behind by people who do. Our accelerated
learning, knowledge management
and expert modeling are important
life skills - systemic education
-
that are rarely taught at school or university.
Your continued survival, wellbeing and success may require that
you learn and use not only intellectual skills, but emotional and relationship
skills. Some key skills for accelerated learning are:
- learn HOW to learn comfortably and efficiently
- learn HOW to organize information quickly
- learn HOW to use information effectively

For four years he was an average
student and yet he placed second in a class of 45 in his final examinations
... he said that he had attended sessions of your accelerated learning a
few days before the exams and that you "coached" him organize years of
information using something that sounds like hypnosis ... this seems rather
close to cheating.
From a University Professor, Fredericton, Canada 1988 |
There are easier ways to learn than most people experience
in schools and university. Some teachers seem to transform the natural curiosity
of children into boring repetition of irrelevant data. Many bored children learn
how to dissociate - they learn to sleep with their eyes open.
In many Eastern cultures, social skills, communication and
relationship skills are considered more important than information. In
the West, credentials are more important and
emotional maturity and
emotional intelligence may be ignored
or left to chance. Some key skills of emotional intelligence are:
- learn HOW to recognize and manage emotions
- learn HOW to find the causes and benefits of emotions
- learn HOW to express and communicate emotions appropriately
Failure to use
knowledge management and
emotional management skills may result in lower performance, reduced prospects at
work and a risk of being labeled as learning disabled - or just slow.
- learn HOW to recognize and appreciate people
- learn HOW to appropriately behave in different relationships
- learn HOW to recognize transferences and relationship types
If you fail to develop your relationship skills, you
risk a lowered acceptance by other people, and problems building
and enjoying friendship, teamwork, partnership and parenthood.
Some people prefer to avoid intellectual, emotional or
relationship intelligence. The reasons often involve
identity loss,
relationship bonds - resulting from
emotional incest and other
relationship experiences. We coach people to build their intellectual,
emotional and relationship excellence and resolve relationship and
emotional blocks to happiness.
Systemic Coaching in Education
It's not too late to learn - if you can
answer "Yes" to these questions:
- Do you accept responsibility for your own
learning?
- Do you want to apply your knowledge in the
real world?
- Do you want assimilate new information quickly
and easily?
Most people accept the learning styles of their parents and
teachers without question, and a few people develop their own learning styles.
Does your learning style help you assimilate and use new information? We can
coach
you to find, refine and use what is most effective for you; and help you design
and fine tune your own accelerated learning.
Accelerated Learning Strategies
Our accelerated learning includes strategies for improving learning.
We developed some of our strategies as we researched how people learn.
Our accelerated learning programs:
- are appropriate, relevant and demanding
- fit students emotional and intellectual ages
- develop students' ability to plan their
learning
- develop students' ability to deal with relationships
- help students' develop intellectually and
emotionally
- build problem solving skills in authentic applications
- focus on personal experiences and real world concerns
Systemic Accelerated Learning
We tailor our work to each client
and student, and we explore how to develop perhaps-unique accelerated learning
strategies appropriate for your personal goals. What accelerates your learning
may not be optimal for your friend, partner or student. We coach people to
create individual accelerated learning
strategies.

Martyn, I was a demonstration
subject during your workshop on accelerated learning, and I chose organizing
a parade in my town as a project. I was later too busy to organize the parade
and when I met the town council I felt that I had let them down. I was
shocked as I stood up and gave the council members almost all the details
that they needed. I was commended for my effort - but those compliments
should go to you! Canada |
Accelerated Learning for Children with Emotional Problems
We support children teenagers and young adults with suspected
relationship or emotional problems by 1. coaching their parents,
2. coaching their teachers, and 3. coaching the children or
teenagers themselves. We help provide appropriate social-emotional support for
parents, teachers and children, and ways to prevent, detect, evaluate and change
childhood relationship and emotional problems, and to accelerate learning.
Other Accelerated Learning Possibilities
While hypnosis, suggestions,
relaxation, music etc may benefit your learning, the effects are
likely to be short term. Most blocks to efficient learning originate
in uncomfortable emotions, limiting beliefs
and relationship fixations. If your goal is to pass an
examination and then forget everything, these approaches may be OK. For lasting
results, you may need to change some relationship bonds.
Hypnosis , Suggestion & Metaphors
Many books and CDs claim to help you improve
your learning, often by "overcoming your beliefs" with
"more powerful ideas". It sounds like marketing
to us, but some of it may work for you.
Speed Reading
Speed reading comprehension tests on people who have attended
popular speed reading workshops have not shown the wondrous claims
made for this modality.
Relaxation Response
When you are relaxed, you are more likely to concentrate
on whatever is being taught, especially if it is presented in interesting
ways. If you are anxious or worried about something, you may remember
your fears better than the material that you study.
Laughter & Fun
Why not make learning fun? Look for funny sides of the
material you want to remember. Maybe imagine clowns juggling with
the data or imagine what your favorite comedian might say about it.
Perhaps you can make funny anagrams of the first letters of key
information.
Musical Learning
Does listening to music help you study? Not me - although
some sellers of recorded music claim that their music can help you learn.
Dr Lozanov, a pioneer of accelerated learning, claimed that Baroque music
(e.g. J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel) helps people remember what they study.
Sleep Learning
Sleep learning seems more likely to disturb your sleep and cause
strange dreams rather than improve your rest. Even small amounts of sleep
deprivation can negatively affect your study. Instead of learning, tired
people may drift into inattention, daydreams, impaired memory and shortened
attention span.
Practice & Review
How you review and use your memorized knowledge is
a key part of learning. A review schedule can make a tremendous
difference to your retention of knowledge, rather than trying to
cram all review into the last day before an interview or examination.
Left and Right Brains
Some psychologists insist that both sides of your brain have
different functions. The left side is supposed to deal with language,
numbers and logic, while the right side may deal with music, visual
impressions and patterns. Even if true, we do not find this particularly useful.
Numbers
Some people have trouble remembering numbers and equations.
This may be due to a too-early introduction to
mathematics, which resulted in remembering frustration rather
than remembering relationships between quantities. This can result in
unpleasant feelings when you consider science problems or mathematical
equations. We can help people dissolve unpleasant associations.
Food for Thought
Some dietary supplements claim to boost brain power and memory, although
it may seem that many books on this topic have contradictory
recommendations. As many processed foods seem to lack nutritional
ingredients, some food supplements may make sense. But which ones?
Stress & Memory
Your stress can help or hinder your study and recall. Although you can
use many excellent relaxation techniques both ancient and modern, perhaps
choose a low-stress learning location where you can make mistakes and still
expect success.
Drugs & Memory: State Dependent Learning
The side-effects of some prescription & recreational drugs include
drowsiness and disorientation that does not support long-term memory.
While coffee may raise blood pressure and alertness, and nicotine may help
stabilize emotions for a while, both are addictive and neither may be available
during important exams or interviews.
Bottom Line
Filter everything you want to learn with a healthy skepticism
and test new information for accuracy, relevance and consequences. This can
increase your interest in the material and help you remember
the information that you choose. We can help you accelerate your learning.
