PRESENTER BIO
Kerri Schillinger is an entrepreneur and small business owner. Her interest in right-brained versus left-brained thinking began while working as a professional organizer. Kerri began to notice similarities in people who were chronically disorganized. After research and testing, she concluded that the chronically disorganized were quite often right-brained thinkers. This led her to a quest to learn and understand the differences and how they affect people at home, at school, and at work. Over the last 20 years, Kerri has given many lectures on the subject, including to businesses and their employees, to PTA meetings, to Psychology students, to the staff and volunteers of groups that work with children, and to foster parents. In Kerri’s spare time, she is the owner of Bull’s-Eye Bookkeeping, is CEO of Eras Natural Sciences, which manufactures a natural wound care topical, is a board member and CFO of three other corporations and two other non-profits, runs two Volkswagen car clubs, and does lectures on various historic topics.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop is designed to teach people about the cognitive, behavioral, and learning differences between right-brained and left-brained thinkers. The hemispheric dominance of a person’s brain is a big factor in how that person learns, behaves, and reacts to outside stimuli. We will learn how to identify if a person is a right-brained or left-brained thinker, and learn the common traits and behavior of both. We will then discuss methods of helping people to overcome some of the predominant issues they may face in school and at home, as well as to expand their ability to use both sides of their brain more equally.
