Back to the plot…! The use of audio can be extremely powerful. Here’s why….

time whilst driving in the car, either to relieve boredom, or to take your mind off stressful situations such as being stuck on a motorway somewhere! You can also listen with your iPod as you go jogging as part of your New Year’s resolution and kill two birds with one stone! - Saves time on personal development activities. Most of us never have enough time to do all the things we want to do. Audio book CDs or .mp3′s are a brilliant time-saving method of listening and learning to personal development audios whilst you’re doing something at home, or whilst driving – providing that you’re not spending too much time fiddling with the knobs on your player and causing a prang in front and behind you!

- Beneficial impact of tone of voice on learning and communication as opposed to reading words. It is generally known that impact of communication is greater from the sound and tone of the spoken voice – 38% , compared to only 7% by the words used.
