How To Use Your Learning Style To Your Advantage With Furlough

Did you know that most people have a preferred learning style? 

They can be defined as:

• Auditory learner - Learns best when listening to educational material.
• Visual learner - Learns best when things are written down or presented within a visual format (pictures / diagrams)
• Kinesthetic learner - Learns best in "hands on" settings where they can practice the practical skills needed to learn a subject. 

If you are an Auditory or Visual learner (or even a combination) you'll find our Masterminds extremely an extremely useful resource. 

We've rounded up the best Masterminds of the year, so you can improve your marketing skills:
