What is your preference as a speaker? What is your preference as a participant? I like using slides if I am speaking for a recorded session where I won't be available for questions but when I am speaking live I prefer to keep the slides to a minimum and to break them up within the session. I'm doing a speakers' orientation session next week in my group. I would love your input now.

I have to tell you what I did today. I was pottering about on an online auction, and I saw the most beautiful old perambulator. I thought, oh, I do like that. So I bid — no plan, no sense, just pure impulse. And then, it was mine. Actually mine. Now, I can already hear you thinking 🤔— "Lindsay, what on earth has a hundred-year-old pram got to do with anything in this group?" Honestly, in that moment, I hadn't the foggiest either. But isn't that so often the way? The things that feel the least relevant, the least sensible, the ones we nearly talk ourselves out of — they've a funny habit of turning out to matter more than we ever expected. So go on then — when was the last time you said yes to something before you had the faintest idea why❓️

So I was hanging with my grandchildren last night. After my grandson went to sleep his sister and I settled in to watch There’s A Ghost in Our House. Not a bad movie actually. Instead of asking me to turn it up, Mary said, "Can you put on closed caption?" Once it was on she says, "Now I can hear it". My immediate reaction was she needs to get her hearing checked. I asked if it had been checked. She wasn't sure. She told me she didn't think so and that she "definitely needed to get it checked". I called her Mom about the next day. My daughter explained that she also uses closed caption because her brain's auditory processing is slower. One of her degrees is neoropsychology so I trust her. I'd never really given it much thought before, but I'm very sensitive to noise & light. I wonder now if it's connected to how my brain processes information. I use both text and video in my community. One of my members recently asked for more prompts to work with the video so I'm thinking I need to add writing prompts for the people who process best through journaling. I'd love to hear if others have a preference between visual & auditory processing? How are you incorporating this into your skool community?
