Apps like Evernote, Bear for Mac, Microsoft OneNote and Confluence are great options for those reader/writers who are more technologically inclined. To help readers retain information during a meeting, printed materials and written notes have a big impact. From emails to memos, the current business structure communicates primarily using the written word. Luckily for readers, most organizations are set up to support their learning style.
Those who learn best through reading and writing love interacting with text, which is more powerful for them than hearing or seeing images.
Tools like and Zoom and GoToMeeting can all be used to record meetings. Make sure you record important meetings and presentations so that any auditory learner who missed it can go back in afterward and listen. Auditory learners are able to recall up to 75 percent of what they’ve heard.Īuditory learners are best served through in-person meetings, presentations, and conversations. Auditory communicators are typically talkative, enjoying discussions and debates, as well as telling stories or jokes.

People retain 80 percent of what they see, compared to 20 percent of what they read and only 10 percent of what they hear. Studies have shown that the brain can process images and videos 60,000 times faster than text, making image-based communication remarkably valuable. Visuals add a component to communication that written and verbal methods do not: speed. Research has found that 65 percent of the general population are visual learners, meaning they need to see information in order to retain it. While these learning types have long been studied in academia, their principles are easily applied to business as well.Īfter all, what good is your well-written Confluence page or carefully rehearsed powerpoint presentation if no one pays attention to it? The majority of the population are visual learners How do you learn best?
