Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We forget <\/span>Words<\/span>. We forget what was discussed in the last meeting. We stand in front of a group and realise how the common thread has suddenly disappeared. And somehow we have come to terms with this - with the belief that a good memory is something that you either have or you don't have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memory is not a talent. It is a skill. And like any skill, it can be trained - with the right methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

The loci method - or: how Cicero gave his speeches<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of these methods is as old as rhetoric itself. Cicero used it to deliver speeches for hours without a single sheet of paper. Greek intellectuals developed it because books were rare and expensive and knowledge had to be stored in the mind. The essence is very simple: our brain remembers places and images with astonishing precision - far better than abstract information. The loci method utilises precisely this. You link what you want to remember with <\/span>visualised places and create mental connections from successive pieces of information to these places. <\/span>Locations<\/span>.<\/span> You build an inner space for yourself - and walk through it whenever you want to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

What sounds like a trick for memory athletes is actually an invitation: into your own imagination, into spatial thinking, into a completely different way of dealing with knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why this is a SOCIUS laboratory<\/b><\/p>\n

Annette Wiesneth is a memory trainer. Nicola Kriesel has been working in organisational development for years. Together we are not only interested in the <\/span>technology - but what it reveals about us.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do we deal with what we know in organisations? What do we remember - and what not, and why? What kind of sovereignty is created when I no longer have to search and scroll in a meeting, a moderation or a presentation, but am simply there? What does that do to my presence?<\/span><\/p>\n

The lab combines practical memory training with reflection. We practise the method - and see what it does to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

For whom?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
\"For<\/span><\/div><\/div>

For people who work in organisations - as managers, facilitators, consultants or in any other context that requires presence and clarity. And for anyone who is curious about themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
