Slide Notes
Slide One:
Which intelligence gift are you? Jer. 1:5 says, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.” Before you were formed, you were destined to be a writer. Your thought process is as unique as your fingerprints.
Slide Two:
Proverbs 9:1 says, “Wisdom has built a house; she has carved its seven columns. Dr. Caroline Leaf says, science has discovered seven pillars of intelligence in the human brain. You have all seven intelligence gifts, but in different orders.
Slide Three:
What is your unique gift?” The key is in what comes easy for you to do.
What gives you satisfaction, joy, confidence? As a writer, your gift may vary from your colleagues or be tribally similar.
Slide Four:
What are these learning gifts? In the brain’s frontal lobe is the intrapersonal pillar. A person dominant with this gift receives information best through introspection, reflection and deep thinking.
Slide Five
A writer gifted with introspection needs a lot of alone time--up to several hours a day without interruptions. These writers interact well socially, but not when writing. They write best when stranded alone on an island during their writing time.
Slide Six:
Interpersonal thinking is also called extroverted intelligence. This is the ability to understand and communicate with all kinds of people through social interaction, listening, sharing, and building relationships.
Slide Seven:
A writer gifted with an interpersonal gift can write well and sell well through a flurry of activity involving interruptions, various noises and an assortment of human involvement throughout her writing time.
Slide Eight:
Those with Linguistic thinking are able to express themselves through language. This pillar involves a heightened sensitivity to the meaning of words, sounds, rhythms and the various uses of language.
Slide Nine:
Most writers are linguistic dominant. Writers that don’t have linguistic as a primary gift are really not writers, but spies sent from the extrovert intelligence group, because writers are so much fun to be around.
Slide Ten:
The logical/mathematical gift uses scientific reasoning, logic and analysis. They understand numerical patterns and exercise long chains of reasoning with precision while manipulating numbers, quantities and operations.
Slide Eleven:
Einstein was gifted with logical/mathematical intelligence. At Write Well Sell Well, we are fortunate to have our own Einstein Writer, Wes Fryer. It can be assumed through logical deduction that Wes is also gifted in linguistics.
Slide Twelve:
The Kinesthetic learner processes thought through touch, feeling, motion and moving things around. Those dominate with kinesthetic intelligence need constant movement and touch and are usually good in sports and dance.
Slide Thirteen:
Kinesthetic writers like to write while taking soccer breaks with their children. They tend to customize basketball hoops over trashcans or create stand up desks to work from their computers while stretching out their hamstrings.
Slide Fourteen:
Those with musical intelligence may know how to play an instrument, read music or sing, but some may not. All share the unique ability to read patterns, identify rhythm, deal with instincts and read between the lines.
Slide Fifteen:
Poets or writers that use metaphor, imagery, rhythm and beat are more than likely writers high in musical intelligence. Their writing tends to flow with cadence, alliteration, assonance, and appeal to listeners and readers alike.
Slide Sixteen:
Visual spatial thinkers use abstract language and imagery. They see color, light, shape and depth, and can close their eyes and imagine, seeing things that are not present. This intelligence can operate through 3-dimensional space with ease.
Slide Seventeen:
Visual spatial writers see the whole picture and are rumored plotters when writing. They’re the members on the Write Well Sell Well team that know the exact placement of each table, chair, and color-coordinate their clothes with their underwear.
Slide Eighteen:
You carry seven intelligences. Proverbs 9:1 says, Wisdom has built a house; she has carved its seven columns. Those seven columns are intrapersonal, interpersonal, linguistic, logical/mathematical, kinesthetic, musical and visual/spatial.
Slide Nineteen:
Your thoughts start in your dominant two gifts, maneuver a quick loop through the other five gifts ending in your dominant intelligence. Each gift problem-solves according to the traits of that intelligence.
Slide Twenty:
Just as no two tigers have the same stripe patterns, nor do any two people share the same eye striation, or fingerprint--your intelligence pillars operating in the brain is just as unique. At Write Well Sell Well our gifts through writing make room for us.
