A Unique Opportunity to Stand Above the Competition
The most successful people are those who can balance logic and creativity. Our left brain allows us to think rationally, plan, and analyze. Our right brain fuels our imagination. On one side you have engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. On the other side, you have artists, writers, and musicians. In rare instances, you have someone like Leonardo DaVinci who was both a brilliant artist and visionary inventor. The modern day equivalents are trailblazers who push boundaries and continually reimagine what is possible, while also building a brand and making a fortune.
Having a “DaVinci brain” may be a genetic gift, but there are ways to develop and sharpen this type of intelligence. One is Caldwell’s unique, new double major in Business and English.
