I work in Banking as an accountant with nearly 30 years’ experience. I was shocked at the progress we had made in such a short time period. Both my memory retention and reading speed have improved significantly; I’m able to give presentations rather than reading them off a script; I now read more often for pleasure and not just on holiday; I spend less time reviewing my email as my speed reading has improved and I’m more able to identify key information. In addition, post-course sessions have built on the techniques enabling me to memorise and deliver a short public speech (7 mins). I would definitely recommend the course. I wish I had been aware of it much earlier in my career. You will learn new techniques that can be applied in both your work and private life. You will also grow in confidence and see you are capable of much more than you ever realised.

Hi! My name is Shoshana Levenson and I’m a recent college grad and residential counselor in Boston. I chose to take the course because my cousin took it and had great results! I wanted to see if it would work for me as well. Before the course, I had been procrastinating many projects and was not super confident in my memory. Post course I’ve gained skills to improve my memory and have confidence in my abilities, and I have officially started writing my book! Looking forward to the future, I’m excited to take my new skills and master them. If you choose to take this course, embrace it. Embrace feeling a little silly at first. Trust the process because it works!

The weekend at Genius initially felt slow. I felt I wasn’t learning anything novel. However, when Giulia spoke at the end of the day, she gave arguably the most memorable advice—your mindset and attitude trumps all. Her words resonated with me, as I often beat myself up with a self-evaluated perfunctory performance. After the first day, the learning techniques began to make sense; I could vision myself becoming a Genius. The techniques were composed of simple imagery rather than complicated formulas I’ve utilized in my math and science classes. They were extremely intuitive and can easily be put into your daily life; it definitely reset my motor in full gear. I had found the lost ambition I had as a kid. Since the course, I managed to read 25+ novels, learned the basics of Python, passed multiple actuarial exams, and am constantly using memory techniques for abbreviations used at work. Later on, I plan on continuing these hobbies because I enjoy them. Does it sound weird that I call them hobbies? Some time ago it would have for me too. Do you enjoy lounging on the sofa watching Netflix or playing video games like me? I used to always do that. With a new mindset, doing “productive” things is enjoyable too, and it makes the relaxation sessions even more pleasurable. Take a chance on Genius and I promise you will not regret it.

I had three objectives when I joined: improving my memory, reading faster and becoming better organised with my time. Here are the results: First, my memory. Today I can confidently recall strings of numbers using the system I learned in Genius 21. When I see a short number of 4-8 digits, for example a membership number, I commit it to memory quickly rather than having to write it down. I feel sufficiently confident to memorize a few numbers, even if just for a short time. Every morning I practice the strings from 00 to 100 so that the number associations are fresh in my mind. I have also been learning poems in English and in Spanish (I have memorized about ten of them now). Second: I am reading faster. I used to read at 220 wpm and today I’m reading between 350 and 400 wpm. It’s a modest improvement but good enough for me. I used to read about 10 books per year before, this year I will read 25. Third: My organisation skills have improved too. I don’t build mind maps every single time, but, I organise my weeks based on the activities that need to be done and I can block time to do them. I am still too optimistic with the time it takes me to do something, but my current system with a notebook and a diary is much better than having multiple post-its all over the place and some information in a computer, some in a notebook and part in my brain.Since the course, I managed to read 25+ novels, learned the basics of Python, passed multiple actuarial exams, and am constantly using memory techniques for abbreviations used at work.

Since taking Genius, I have achieved tremendous success with the techniques. Within the first 6 weeks, I drastically improved my reading speed, so much so that I read over 150 pages in 2 and a half hours, I am learning 30 Japanese words a day and I memorised a 10 minute speech in 4 hours, word for word. Considering my results in such a short period of time and the way I have been able to integrate the techniques into my life, learning new things in the future is extremely exciting and well within my reach now that I know how. I am already reading books regularly and learning more around important topics which help me run my business successfully.
