It's fair to say that most education is about learning techniques, processes and rules that will help us avoid failure and excel. We learn to become our best selves; sometimes reducing our creativity and taking on behaviors that eliminate the space where creativity is most rewarding, during risk-taking, trial & error, or applying ourselves with empathy. We can reclaim our true creativity and be productive!

Today we're going to be talking about habits and a life by design with expert, Bernie Roth. Bernie is the Rodney H. Adams Professor of Engineering at Stanford University. In 2003, he joined a small group of colleagues to bring more cross-disciplinary collaboration into education. These discussions led to the formation of the Stanford Institute nicknamed "the d.school," which is changing the approach to problem-solving regardless of your discipline.

Bernie is also the author of The Achievement Habit; He has found that creative learning experiences empower people to make a meaningful positive difference in their lives and by extension the lives of others.
