#147. Connecting our Left & Right Brain for holistic presenting
We’ve all heard the idea that being a “left brain” person means you’re logical and a “right brain” person means you’re creative—but did you know that’s a bit of a myth?
Like most myths, it’s based in some truth:
The left side of our brain processes more analytical information while the right side tends to hold emotions and nuance. However, a study in 2017 at Duke University confirmed that the number of neural pathways that connect the two sides contributes to someone being more creatively capable.
In other words, the more we can connect and holistically bring together our Right & Left Brains, the better our creativity and communication can be.
Mikey and Molly, on their journey to be better presenters, apply this to the foundations of visual storytelling and how best to communicate within a slide platform.
This is an episode for: Neuroscience nerds, presenters and anyone that wants to be a better communicator.
