Synopsis
Do you know many people who had planned the best things that happened to them? For most of us, golden opportunities are seen as an unexpected reward. Luck is important, of course, but what is luck? As they say, serendipity pays visits to open and prepared minds. Defeats and successes are not so different. What is important is how we cope with the situation to turn it to our advantage. At The New School of Creativity, we are curious about human beings: How they learn? How do they think? How they create? What makes them happier? We're looking for 'out of the box' thinkers and doers who can inspire our strategies to get things done more creatively and efficiently.
