They are: visual, auditory, auditory digital, and kinesthetic. While all members of  audience will process information utilizing all four of these approaches at different times, each audience member will individually will individually tend to rely on one of these approaches more than other three. Visual: These people memorize and learn by seeing pictures and are less distracted by noise than others. They often have difficulty remembering and are bored by long, verbal presentations because their minds will wander. They are interested in how your presentation looks. They like it when you use words like “see, look, envision, imagine, and picture” in your presentation as these words encourage them to make pictures in their minds. Auditory: These people are easily distracted by any noises occurring during your presentation. Typically these audience members learn by listening, Your vocal tone and vocal quality will be very important with these people. Words that work well with people in this category include “hear, listen, sound, resonate, and harmonize.”

Many years ago one of my mentors taught me that human body is like a multi-billion dollar racehorse. If you owned that horse, how much time off would you give it in between races? The answer seems simple enough, but somehow we get caught up in stress of day-to-day life and we forget to rest. And I mean really rest! I know that putting in 18-hour days is not uncommon for me because I love what I do. I am sure that you also just go, go, go...all time between work, parenting, friends, exercise, problems, etc. One of best practices that I took on many years ago is what I call my six weeks on, one week off routines. Here's how it goes...I play full out for six weeks, then full off for one week. This gives me chance to really unwind and do zip, nada, nothing. I get a chance to totally rejuvenate, and what I've found is that I am so ready to get back to creation once I am truly rested, that I am ten times more productive. I used to feel that if "I just push a little longer, I'll get more done", but truth is that quality of my work was not up to my highest standard.
