How important is your choice of pictures, when you create the slides in your presentation program? The human brain is designed for taking decisions from feelings, based on automatic responses according to your value judgments, and integrated by your subconscious. Images could trigger your feelings towards the speaker, based on your premises. That is why paintings and other forms of art, could give an immediate response and fuel for your soul. Carina and Martin are interested to continue the conversation on this important topic.
