Tansel Ali: How storytelling, emotions and imagination help build a strong healthy memory

Episode 8: Tansel Ali

Tansel Ali used to have a terrible memory. He’d forget people’s names, conversations he’d just had, numbers, and even had difficulties remembering what he just read. It was when he started learning ‘memory techniques’ that he realised his memory wasn’t bad, it was just untrained. Tansel was in his early 20s when he discovered memory training, at the same time he learned he needed serious stomach surgery, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. So while he recovered in hospital he put his mind to work. Since then, Tansel has been crowned four-time Australian Memory Sports Champion, memorised two Yellow Pages phone books, authored two books, created educational initiatives for schools and helped people with dyslexia, ADHD, as well as high performance athletes, keynote speakers and corporate leaders.

**We would like to say an extra special thank you to Tansel for recording this episode with us just a few days after his Dad had passed away, we so appreciated his willingness to sit down and chat and be so open. Our condolences to Tansel and his family**
