In highly interactive seminars, Luise M. Sommer first stuns her audience with some live memory experiments by spontaneously memorizing names, facts and/or figures presented to her by her audience. After having successfully passed this ‘entrance exam’, Luise M. Sommer then involves the participants in unexpected interactive exercises full of humor and surprise where they get to know the most important tools for enhancing their own memory power. At the end of the seminar, the audience might still be fascinated by Ms Sommer’s surprising demonstration at the beginning – but they will certainly be impressed too by their own memory performance they take home with them…a truly memorable experience.

Luise M. Sommer , born in Carinthia, Austria, on 16 February 1955, graduated from Graz University as Mag.phil (= Master of Arts) in 1978 to become a teacher for English and Sports. Later on she continued her studies of English and Educational Science to take her PhD alongside with her job. Although she had always achieved good grades both in school and later on at university, her memory capacity in everyday life at that time was far from being excellent.

In 1993 she discovered, by mere chance, the memory techniques of the ancient Greeks and Romans. She was fascinated – and has not stopped using and improving them ever since. In 2001 she became Austria’s first Memory Champion and defended her title in 2002. In February 2002 she got an invitation from the German TV-Channel ARD to take part in “The Guinness Show of Records”. In this show, Luise M. Sommer memorized – in two and a half minutes - 33 different directions of steps of a staircase. This brought her an entry into the Guinness Book of Records 2003 – and started off her career as a memory coach for people interested in discovering the full potential of their memory powers.
