Brain Power: Different for Women? May 22, 2013Expert BlogsOff

As I prepare for an upcoming teleseminar on the feminine brain, I began to think about whether our brains are really that much different than men’s brains. With so much information out there I decided to do my own research on this topic and discovered yes, there is a difference and some big differences that we as women can tap into to have better lives and careers.

According to Mona Lisa Schulz, the author of The New Feminine Brain: Developing Your Intuitive Genius, “women have a unique feminine brain. Being a woman gives you some inborn mental and emotional challenges, however, the unique wiring of your brain and body also gives you some unique gifts and abilities.” This has been a fascinating book to read and while I knew some of this “stuff” boy have I learned a lot about the power of the feminine brain.

For example, the feminine brain has more connections between brain areas whereas men have fewer. Men are more likely compartmentalize whereas women’s brains are making connections from one compartment to another at an ongoing and very active rate. Oh! I love this one, women’s brains have a greater capacity for growth and change over time (plasticity). And although the male brain is 10 percent larger than the female brain it has fewer connections between the cells. Wow! isn’t that something? This is not about superiority just about differences.

So how can women begin to tap into this feminine brain power and use it to their advantage and overcome life and work challenges? That is the million dollar question. As I continue my research on this topic, I will be sure to keep you updated on my findings and share insights on how you can tap into this wonderful power of the feminine brain!

What I hope to reveal is:

1. How we can better manage our time and energy by adequately using our femine brain power.

2. How we can use its uniqueness to achieve the life we desire.

3. How we can leverage this difference when in male-dominated situations.

Stay tuned and for a good laugh, but great insight visit this link and watch the video.
