Most people have two well-developed learning styles. Studies estimate:

• 60% are visual learners

• 25% are audio learners

• 15% are kinesthetic / tactical learners

Interesting Facts about Learning and Memory:

1. People will remember most effectively what is taught at the beginning and end of each session.

2. The longer a presentation – the less impact more information has.

3. Breaks or relaxing moments allow the brain to structure and organize information making it easier to recall later.

4. Repetition, analogies and linking to other parts of a presentation will increase memory.

5. Recall of information declines rapidly if not reviewed.

6. Active participation and visual aids enhance recall.

How does this affect the way a coach teaches concepts? What methods can I use to maximize learning?
