  1. Mindset — To add to the mindset list, consider a WHOLE-BRAIN mindset as introduced in this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufsyD15k_rI

    By understanding more about how the brain works, we are able to engage our left and right brains and our conscious and subconscious minds and, as a result, work and live smarter — more effective, creative, and innovative.
