Jim Muckle, CD, CAEN, CPF, MBA, The Brain Guy

Jim Muckle specializes in showing leadership brains how to do their best work. Jim will show you the secrets to using much more of your personal brain power AND the untapped capacity and productivity of those other brains you're already paying for. What would getting more done, in less time, with even better results, mean for you, for your team, for your organization, for your 'bottom line?'

Does your brain mostly:

a. Focus on organizing, understanding, and applying that understanding to add bottom-line business value - because you are a knowledge professional? Or ...

b. Try to learn as quickly and completely as possible - because you are a student or adult learner? Or ...

c. Do its best to deal with high levels of stress - because the demands being made on you are greater than the supply of capacity that you have available?

Or two or all three of the above?

Jim Muckle is a specialist in showing leaders and their team members how to increase their returns on their leadership, sales, training, and other people-related investments by:

a. Sorting and organizing information more quickly, clearly and completely, so that they can get to improved understanding in less time, and apply that better understanding to produce better results. He can show you how mind mapping and reading visually can help you and your colleagues to use much more of the brain's natural ability to process visual information 60,000 times faster than text or spoken language.

b. Learning how to learn faster and better. Jim shares the learning techniques of the world's fastest learner - techniques that are also used by the largest online college preparatory school in the U.S. to help their students of all ages to produce amazing learning and other academic results.

c. Building their capacity and leveraging that capacity to increase their productivity - all in the context of improving their brain health. Many of us have training plans. How many of us have longevity plans - particularly plans that reduce stress and improve brain fitness, and hence reduce absenteeism, stress-related disability, and lost productivity?

Jim is the:

a. Author or editor of several practical workshop handbooks on effective learning, memory, stress management, knowledge working skills, brain fitness, longevity, speed reading, and other aspects of human performance.

b. Author of MUCKLE Mapping (on DVD), and the co-author with Howard Berg (World's Fastest Reader, Guinness) of a 3-part DVD on Learning Faster & Better.

c. Author of The Ultimate Brain Book - a quick and easy-to-use guide to learning almost anything about your brain on the Internet in just 2 clicks!

Jim's background includes:

a. Academic studies in economics, mathematics and business. He is professionally certified in Applied Educational Neuroscience. He is a Certified Professional Facilitator and a lifetime member of the International Association of Facilitators (IAF).

Jim has adddressed, trained, coached and/or facilitated:

a. Leadership brains, billion-dollar sales management brains, classroom teacher brains, management brains, supervisory brains, coaching brains, foreign language teaching brains, training brains, and other guidance-providing brains.

b. Aging brains, teenage brains, childhood brains, parenting brains, want-to-remember-better brains, want-to-sleep-better brains, speed reading brains, hungry brains, artistic brains, exercising brains, video-gaming brains, multilingual brains, musical brains, want-to-be-healthier brains, relaxed brains, brains that are younger than their chronological ages, and brains that want to build their cognitive reserve.

c. Strategic intelligence brains, military brains, health care brains, research brains, police brains, language learning brains, stressed brains, high performance brains, diplomatic brains, team-based brains, and other results-oriented brains.

Jim's contributions to supporting your success and the success of your people, and to improving your bottom-line results can take the form of:

a. Keynotes up to 90 minutes in length.

b. Results-based 1/2-day workshops.
