Episode 14: From ‘Winging It’ to ‘Where’s My Notes?’ Executive Function’s Role in Presenting 

In this episode of CTRL+ALT+Think, Megan and Amy dive into the world of presentations, executive function, and the unique joys (or not) of prepping for public speaking. Ever feel like your brain is doing cartwheels when you’re supposed to be laser-focused? You’re not alone! Amy shares her experience preparing for an executive function presentation-juggling the anxiety of forgetting her main points with the struggle of winging it. Megan weighs in, reflecting on her own love-hate relationship with organizing thoughts, preparing materials, and managing last-minute adrenaline rushes.
The duo keeps it real (and a little funny) as they chat about how executive function impacts everything from presentation prep to delivery and why sometimes the best approach is knowing yourself well enough to build in scaffolding (and a little grace). Whether you’re a chronic wing-it presenter or a detail-oriented planner, you’ll laugh, relate, and maybe even find a few tips to ease the presentation panic. Get ready to press play and learn how to work with your brain, not against it!
