In this episode I introduce you to the concepts of top down and bottom up thinking and how your way of thinking can impact group project dynamics, academic tasks, and professional settings. I share definitions, strengths, and challenges for both ways of thinking, offering practical advice and strategies for leveraging your strengths. This episode is particularly beneficial for first-generation BIPOC students and individuals who may identify as neurodivergent, since I share how this topic ties back to advocating for yourself within and outside classrooms.
