"I am a visual learner and use images to recall information. Venn diagrams and graphs are helpful when taking in data and new concepts. I like to dive in and become involved in the materials right from the start, which allows me to absorb information much more quickly. While completing my initial CFP designation, I watched a lot of video tutorials online, for instance. This method helped me to commit particular concepts and methods to memory."

"As a university student, and now as I grow my career, I find that I learn best when I am on the move. I am a high-energy person, so if I can listen to an audiobook while running on the treadmill before work, I can nail a presentation on that book quickly after. I also learn kinetically; for instance, when memorizing finance terms in university, I created flashcards to study. This approach was also very effective."
