Anand Tamboli  Our brain is such a fascinating part of our body that everyone has it, but not everyone uses it effectively. There are so many myths about the brain, and they are wildly used as a part of communication. Which not only spreads misinformation but also challenges our credibility while communicating.To bust some of those myths and understand better communication mechanisms, I have Dr. John Molidor on the show this week. We talk about:The 10% utilization, neuroplasticity, and left-brain-right-brain a myth?Do we really by emotionally and justify logically?How should we communicate our ideas in the right way?How long does it take to form a habit?Why is physical note-taking so important?The 10,000-hour rule myth.How long does it take to make a first impression?Several stages in communicating your message effectively.The thing about odd numbers and your messaging when communicating.How should you end your speech?Dr. John B. Molidor, CSP, comes to us from the United States at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, an Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Education and Research. Dr. John has a long-standing interest in the brain and how people use (and don't use), especially focusing on leaders, educators, and speakers! He is the current President of the Global Speakers Federation and a Past President of the National Speakers Association (US). He loves applying neuroscience principles to communicate more effectively ... as well as busting speaking myths (or as he says, "Things presenters/speakers say, sometimes, without even thinking ... when they should be using their brains!"He has authored the book Crazy Good Interviewing: How Acting A Little Crazy Can Get You The Job (published by Wiley and Sons) and available on Amazon.About the Podcast:ICT Podcast all about innovation, communication, and technology – a few key areas that are super important in today’s world. If you want to know what it takes to be a better innovator, better communicator, and leverage technology to make this world a better place, please subscribe.

My guest today is Dr. John Molidor, a Professor of Psychiatry and Community Assistant Dean at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine as well as a past president of the National Speakers Association Board of Directors. John shares his extensive knowledge about how to prepare a presentation that takes your audience's brain into consideration and provides a richer learning experience, or a “brain-friendly” presentation.John came to the NSA Ohio chapter in February 2017 and delivered a presentation on this topic and it was absolutely life changing for me – this knowledge has been the biggest game changer in my professional speaking career.John emphasizes that the job of any speaker is sharing what you know, creating a safe environment to learn, and inviting your audience into that safe environment, and we need to understand how the brain works, consumes information, and processes it to achieve those goals.What Presenters Should Know About the Brain &amp; Learning:Your cells will eavesdrop on what you're sending your brain. So if you're sending your brain negative information or positive information, your cells tend to pay attention to that, which then can cause a chemical reaction resulting in a cascade of chemicals, either for good or for bad. So try to keep pessimistic thoughts out of your head!Dr. Molidor says we don't refer to people as left or right brain anymore. Brains are hemisphere. They have both right hemisphere and left hemisphere. There are also a lot of redundancies, meaning when one side is working the other side is also active. So if you’re speaking to just one side of the brain, “you’re wasting opportunities.” Talk to both hemispheres: Tell the story, show the emotion, give the data, give the numbers. Contextual cueing teaches the audience to associate a symbol with an action. Everything from your header size to image choice to font color creates a contextual cue, and you should make sure those cues are consistent and conducive for learning. When you do that, the brain can focus on what the presenter is saying because you have cued it to do so The brain loves stories. “The oral tradition has been part of how the brain structure, if you will, has evolved over time.” Not only that, but different parts of the story are stored in different parts of the brain. So to access that information, you’re actually going to access different parts of the brain, and in doing that, the brain actually is more activated. And when we active more of the brain, we have a higher probability of things being remembered. Give your audience “commercial breaks.” If you’re putting out a lot of info, you have to give the brain a break so they can process it. We’ve also taught a generation of learners that they will receive these breaks, through the way both schools and entertainment like television are structured. Brains love oxygen, so you need to get the audience moving or inhaling oxygen occasionally. Asking them to stand up and do jumping jacks may not make sense, but even just getting the audience to yell or shout forces them to inhale more oxygen. The brain looks for patterns… and it looks for patterns even when they don’t really exist, so you have to be wary of that. Similar to contextual cueing, you should consider how the patterns in your presentation can help the audience actually figure out what you’re presenting to them.Resources:Connect with Dr. Molidor on  LinkedIn-- Change Your Mindset is produced by Podcast Masters Learn more about your ad choices.
