This course is for logical thinkers who want to flex their creative thinking muscles so that they can supercharge their existing level of intelligence. Creative thinking is like running. Everyone can do it, but the more you train, the better you are at it. And the more you practice, the more resilient, strategic, and intelligent you become.
In this course, you will discover a simple tool that helps you determine when you need creative thinking. You will practice the thinking skills necessary to innovate on your own or with a team. You will learn to balance your critical and creative thinking skills. And you will get to know yourself and the inner workings of your brain at a deeper level so that you always know how to tap into your own and others’ innate creativity.
