The 5 Visual Thinking Myths Busted: Why You're Already More Visual Than You Think
Description:
Think you're not a 'visual thinker'? Think again.
In this episode, we bust five common myths about visual thinking — from the belief that it's only for artists, to the idea that it slows you down.
You'll discover why visual thinking is a power tool for clearer ideas, faster learning, and better collaboration — and why you’re already more visual than you realise.
This episode includes quick interactive actions you can try today to rethink how you work, learn, and solve problems.
