Elastic Minds: What are you thinking?

Elastic minds are creatives who reimagine ways to create businesses, define how people engage in learning, and create tools to change markets. People who possess the ability to think elastically produce game-changing outcomes that are available globally.

Creative abilities are highly desired attributes by most people. Musicians, artists, and business innovators are highly admired by people with an appreciation for achievements beyond the ordinary. In popular culture, fans celebrate the performance of others to the point of devotion. Most of the people we admire often have the gift of the elastic mind. People with elastic minds have the ability to hit the winning basket during a basketball game, sing with grace and feelings, or innovate the next technology that changes the business landscape. The skills of the elastic mind are, at times, the gifts we’re born with or the results of sweat and tears. Either way, we have the “can do” attitude that empowers the creative and innovative spirit within.
