When I take a look at a visual that shows my strengths as a right or left brain dominant person, I lean heavily towards the right. I am very visual, intuitive, emotional, speak with stories rather than stating facts, and can clearly see the forest from the trees.
Ways that I can (and try) to compensate for being less analytical and not being able to hone in on the details is by practicing looking at the big goal and picture and visualizing steps backwards from the goal to the first step, rather than the other way around. This is easier and less complicated for me to imagine than trying to start at the beginning.
The weakness I see in the whole left brain/right brain model is that it only stops at the brain. I think when we are working with people, especially the most vulnerable among us, the brain sometimes has to take a backseat to the callings of the heart. This has nothing to do with the right brain or any part of our brain, but is a calling to connect with all other human beings and do what we can for our brothers and sisters and allow that spirit to guide a shining light for all of humanity as a whole.
