“If a plane ticket isn’t an option, maybe try taking the subway to a new neighborhood. Sometimes, the research suggests, all that’s needed for a creative boost is a fresh cultural scene.”

“Thanks to social engagement, I am able to stay in touch with current thinking, participate in conversations/tweetchats around topics of my interest and become a part of an empowering network.

In my case, social media made me a clearer thinker, better leader and a curious learner.” — @tnvora
