## Resource

Are you a big picture thinker or all about the details? Let’s dive into how these processing styles shape our problem-solving... Share this with someone who needs to hear this! In our latest mini episode of the Unconventional Business Podcast, we explore the concepts of top-down and bottom-up processing. For many neurodivergent folks, our approach to problem-solving can vary greatly from "the norm." Where top-down processing starts with a big idea, bottom-up processing focuses on absorbing details first. This can be a real strength and allow us to spot details others miss, but it can also be a lot! Taking in lots of data can lead to sensory overwhelm for those of us who process the world differently. Take 5 minutes out of your busy day today and discover how recognising your processing style can empower your decision-making and help manage sensory overload. It’s not just about being able to do more stuff; it’s about understanding how your brain naturally operates. I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you noticed this in your life? How could switching approaches make things easier for you? ----- Curious to know more?
