Unleashing Your Genius Thinking
This week (1/25/10 to 1/31/10) Work Matters celebrates your genius and explores how you can tap into it at work.
Why do you need to be creative? What is genius and do you have a hidden genius waiting to be unleashed? Once you discover your creative genius, what do you do with it?
This week's guest Michael Gelb passion for creativity shines through his conversation and through his writing. He is the author of best-selling books, including How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci. He talks about Da Vinci's genius and explains how to honor your own non-linear thinking.
Also, Nan's colleague Beth Pelkofsky joins her to field listener questions.
