Creator vs. the MBA

I come to my first week in the ITEC program with excitement and anxiety, and like most new things I know that I will probably fluctuate between the two feelings for at least a few weeks. One concept that captured my interest was 21st Century Skills beyond the analytical. Storytelling, design, empathy were some of the ideas listed by Professor Foreman. When I heard this list, my anxiety level decreased and my excitement level increased. Storytelling, design, empathy. These are areas I can feel passionate about. The MBA degree, not so much. The creator wins versus the MBA. Can't wait to read "A Whole New Mind".
