Harold Mangum is the president of
The Memory Technologies Institute. Harold brings 27 years of training
and development experience to the industry, 17 years of which he
has taught memory training specifically. Harold, a psychologist
educated at the University of Texas spent 13 years with ARCO Oil
& GAS Company as Director of Training and Development in the Operations
and Engineering division before joining Memory Training Institute
in 1989. He began studying mnemonics under two of the nations leading
memory experts well known in the field of mnemonics, Mr. Blaine
Athorn and Don Colton. After setting industry records as the fastest
memory instructor ever to be certified, he was appointed president
of the Memory Training Institute, Inc.. Within two years of joining
the Memory Training Institute he helped build the company to a staff
of 25 with operations in seven U.S. areas. In 1995 he left MTI to
start Memory Technologies Institute and began expanding the training
paradigm to include a multi-faceted training company within the
industry.
Harold's rapid climb in the field of mnemonics includes research and development
of new and simplified techniques for memory training including the 21-day Maximum
Recall system. In 1999, while conducting a customized workshop for 150 Pollock
Paper executives, Harold was interviewed and featured on ABC's Channel 8 segment
of "Information Overload". The TV special report was taped and conducted by special
news reporter Janet St. James and nighttime Channel 8 news anchor Tracy Rowlett.
The ABC special report featured well known psychologist, speech pathologist and
physicians in Dallas working with improving memory skills. The special explored
facts supporting the ability of training the brains memory as opposed to consumption
of the popular supplement Genko tablets. The outcome helped shine a new light
on the present day craze of taking supplements to improve memory, versus the advantage
of a trained memory. Pills will never be a substitute to training.
Harold, over the past 17 years, has conducted workshops at corporations
including Texas Instruments, J.C.Penney, AT&T, Shell Oil, Johnson
& Johnson, 3M, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb, Eastman Kodak, Schlumberger,
GTE, Motorola, IBM, Sun Micro Systems, AT&T and many more fortune
100 corporations. Harold resides in Dallas, Texas with his wife
and two daughters and oversees the day to day operations of Memory
Technologies Institute.
