En lo personal me gusta porque nos dice que el cerebro es un musculo que también se debe entrenar y que este nos ayuda a innovar con mejores decisiones, también nos menciona que cualquier persona puede innovar, que no importa el área donde nos encontremos, podemos tomar decisiones que nos lleven al objetivo que estamos buscando.

This course taught me a lot of information about innovation, but not only that, I also learned on how I can change my mindset for my own good and for others. The course even felt short, like I wanted to keep listening and learning more.

The question is very innovative. The course shows new ways of approaches. FYI there is such a thing as multitasking. Ask someone on the front lines, a cashier, mailroom, Emergency services...all people who are expected to work as an individual in a team environment.
