"The benefits of writing by hand" presented by Katie McCleary in her TEDxEustis talk is an insightful exploration of the advantages that come with putting pen to paper. McCleary emphasizes the connection between writing by hand and enhanced cognition, memory retention, and creativity. By engaging multiple senses and promoting a slower, more deliberate pace, handwriting allows us to deepen our understanding, forge stronger neural pathways, and tap into our unique thought processes. McCleary's talk serves as a reminder that amidst the digital age, the act of writing by hand holds intrinsic value and provides us with a tangible and meaningful connection to our thoughts and ideas. 🖋📝✨

She has a very warmth and knowledgeable vibe about her. And a great take.

Honestly had no idea creative writing could have an impact on my "life's outcomes". Also had no idea I have outcomes for my life on a to do list somewhere.

I was initially skeptical about the connection between writing by hand and leadership, but Derek's story is quite eye-opening. It's amazing how a simple act like handwriting can bring out such deep introspection and growth in a person.
