When people say to me "you are so creative" it gives me a sense of pride that someone has seen I have put thought into my idea, action or work.  So when I was given the opportunity to have the co-author of the book "Cracking The Creativity Code" - Shlomo Maital, as a guest on my show, I jumped at the opportunity.  Shlomo, is Senior Research Fellow at the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies, Technion and Professor (Emeritus) at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. 

All that being said I was honored that he joined me and Michael Steiner, Executive Director of BEST Robotics, Inc. to discuss this topic of creativity.

We discussed whether creativity can be taught or are you born with it, and the answers were very interesting.

Shlomo and Michael talk about the situation in todays educational systems and some concerning trends they are seeing.

I am hoping that when leaders of industry and key executives listen to this conversation they learn to embrace creativity within the workforce, and educators see the potential in students that demonstrate creativity.
