In this episode, we'll cover a variety of techniques, from the Memory Palace to mind mapping, and explore the impact of visual imagery, novelty, and spaced repetition in making information stick. I’m joined by Andy Gray who has been refining these techniques for many years and has combined them with graphic recording to help things stick.

Believing he had been called ‘stupid’ by his teachers in primary school causing his grades to nose-dive, and at A level receiving a prestigious 2 u’s and an X, (that’s 'unclassified' and 'didn’t turn up') he went on to learn how to learn and think, and receive two degrees in theology. He now incorporates memory skills, techniques, and how brains work into his art, consultancy, and graphic recording work. And is passionate about unlocking the potential in every human.Being autistic himself, his greatest joy is helping those who are neuro-divergent discover their own super-powers.As part of his work he is looking to help keynote speakers deliver without using notes, and connect with their audience with greater impact.He lives in Somerset with his family, cycles, climbs, and gets to be an artist who lives on a farm.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/onegraydot/Website: https://onegraydot.com/superpowers⚡️ In each episode, Paddy Dhanda deep dives into a new human Superpower to help you thrive in the age of AI.Paddy Dhanda (Host)Paddy works at the largest Tech training organisation in the UK and is passionate about helping tech professionals build human skills to thrive in the age of AI.Contact Paddy: [email protected] to my newsletter:👉 Newsletter: https://www.superpowers.school/subscribe Get full access to Superpowers School at www.superpowers.school/subscribe
