In this lecture, first, we have a mock job interview and go over the most frequently asked job interview questions. The next workshop is titled "Celebrating Your Weirdness". Weirdness is something that you need to cherish, nurture, and celebrate in yourself. We go through a lot of examples and exercises in this pursuit. The last workshop is titled "Celebrating Your Failures". You need to fail often and sooner, rather than later. Each failure is a learning opportunity. You can learn through failures. Failures should not be traumatized, they need to be celebrated and reflected upon. What matters is you turn these failures into learning opportunities and lessons.

This lecture provides a lot of suggestions, tips, and checklists for portfolio submission. In the section titled "The Age of Anxiety", we look at the deadlock of US elections (as the results still were not announced at the time of this lecture), and we also review the second lockdown looming over us in the UK. Mental Wellbeing becomes a priority for all of us, of course. We do have a short workshop titled "The Rise of the East" where we review The New Silk Roads, and the rising power of Asian countries, China in particular. We also have two self-exploration exercises that will be very useful for your career. In the first one, The Star Exercise, you make 3 lists of your strengths, your areas of development, and your visions. In the second one, Designing Your Life, you design three different lives and careers for yourself. You apply design thinking to your life to improve the quality of your life.

The need to write this document has been driven by two things: a) many years of experience of marking assignments at all levels and seeing the same issues crop up time and again, and b) the desire to see you all do better in your assignments by being aware of, paying attention to, and thus avoiding, simple and careless errors that result in lower marks being awarded.

Are you frustrated or overwhelmed when trying to balance punitive comments, or justifications for point deductions, with constructive criticism, or specific revision suggestions, in your evaluations of student assignments? Is listing the reasons points were deducted from student work the sole function of an effective teacher? How can instructors best manage their time to develop assignments and provide constructive criticism that fosters student learning and growth? If you find any of these questions compelling, please join our discussion on the struggle to balance objective and subjective criteria to develop positive, mentoring roles with your students.

More from Fahri Karakas

We live in interesting and accelerated times. No professional today, whether in the public or private sector, can afford to be unaware of the pace of changes surrounding them. The pace of business change happening around us is relentless. The global forces of competition, innovation, and new technologies are creating new markets while eliminating others. Multidimensional technological forces involving automation, 3D printing, augmented reality, machine learning, Industry 4.0, internet of things, and blockchain are rapidly transforming the future of work, organizations, and jobs. We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. Developments in machine learning, robotics, nanotech, biotech, and 3D printing are all building on and amplifying one another. Technology is disruptive and it keeps transforming workplaces, business practices, and work processes. Companies are trying hard to survive — the only way to survive is to adapt, change, and innovate fast. Companies are hungrier for smart ideas and innovations than ever before because they know they will go extinct unless they learn, improve, evolve, accelerate, and create constantly. 89% of Fortune 500 companies from 1955 are not on the list in 2014. The average age of a company listed on the S&P 500 was 67 years old in the 1920s. Right now this age is 15 years only and it keeps going down. In 2028, 40% of all S&P 500 companies are expected to disappear from this list. Similarly, 75% of S&P 500 firms are estimated to be replaced within 15 years. In 1996, Kodak had nearly 150 thousand employees and $28 billion market cap. In 2008, the whole market was gone. The invention of digital cameras eliminated traditional camera businesses. A company that is not trying to disrupt itself is destined to be disrupted. We are experiencing a digital revolution and the industrial paradigm is over. Mass production is becoming obsolete and 3D printers are replacing factories. Companies work in virtual networks and remote work is the order of the day. Products are bought on demand and they are customized by default. We do not need huge scales of economy, organization charts, hierarchies, factories, standardized exams, or large production floors anymore. We do not need cable TV, mass-market, and broadcast advertising. We are now experiencing a borderless, democratized, digital world where each individual can have a huge impact. We can now create our own game in this world. We can design games, create our own blogs or podcasts or YouTube channel or raise funds on Kickstarter. We can write a book and explain ourselves to the world. We can create fresh and exciting digital products (training, courses, etc.) We live in a world where ideas can change people’s lives. This means all of us can create our own game. It is impossible to imagine that the skills needed at work will remain the same in the new decade. The world is changing fast and we need to learn, re-invent, and disrupt ourselves every day.

YOU in a Changing World: Creativity and Personal Development in the age of AI

Fahri Karakas

Creativity is no longer a luxury. It is a critical survival skill that we need to adapt to rapid changes, solve complex problems, imagine new possibilities, and navigate uncharted waters ahead of us. In this lecture, we learn and practice creativity through a workshop titled "Improvised Lives". Improvised lives are lives defined by a sense of adventure, curiosity, exploration, and spontaneity. Improvised living requires a playful mode of continuous learning, intense curiosity, embracing chaos and uncertainty, thinking and problem-solving beyond borders, experimenting and making mistakes, and acting as an entrepreneur. In this workshop, you have opportunities to experiment with automated writing, doodling, drawing, ideating, imagining, and creating techniques. In addition, we have about 20 mini-puzzles to solve. We cover a wide range of topics ranging from Oscars to celebrities, from vulnerability to humor, and from wellness to fashion. Finally, we have a mini-workshop on future generations (Alpha generation in particular), explore the biggest challenge facing them (climate emergency), and discuss the number one mental problem plaguing the youth of today (climate anxiety). After we give a nod to Greta Thunberg, we turn to another futurist and visionary who has set one of the most challenging and ambitious goals for himself: Elon Musk aspires to send 1 million people to Mars by 2050. We finish the lecture with a mini-workshop on "Life and Employability on Mars", where we learn surprising facts about this red planet, including the fact that creativity indeed will be a surviving skill on this planet. https://medium.com/journal-of-curiosity-imagination-and-inspiration/improvised-lives-workshop-3b1df5bd7560?sk=949f6db678b49699f6eee922068ae4fe

In this workshop, I introduce "The Cube". I invented "The Cube" last night and I share it the first time with the world in this video. You will witness the first iteration of my invention and work on the exercises to explore yourself and create your future. I created this idea last night and turned into slides. I created six journeys to help individual creativity and success. I first created six metaphors for the journeys: The Ocean: Your Strengths The River: Your Interests The Jungle: Your Contributions The Cottage: Your Values The Garden: Your Assets The Mountain: Your Future Self After creating the slides, I created the doodle poster. I also created a physical cube that represents my vision. This cube will be marketed as a stationery product or innovation. It will be sold as a poster, and you can turn it into a cube. I have also created a preliminary video that features the cube. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDNhO... For the first time ever, you will experience the journey of "THE CUBE" in this video. Please follow the steps. Get a notebook and pencil. Mini-Journey 1: Discover Your Strengths THE OCEAN *Imagine that you are delving into a giant ocean. Imagine that you can breathe under water. *You can swim, walk, and explore everything under water. You are in your zone of genius. *You come across a treasure chest. You open it. What do you find inside this chest? Make a list of all the things you find there. *This treasure chest represents YOUR BEST STRENGTHS. *Make a long list of your best: -Talents -Skills -Strengths -Gifts -Expertise and knowledge Mini-Journey 2: Identify What Excites You THE RIVER *Imagine that you are now rafting along a fast- streaming river. *You are an amazing rafter, and you are rocking it. Everything is flowing well. You have achieved momentum in your activities. *You LOVE what you are doing. You leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in what you do. Greeks call this MERAKI, and Turks call it MERAK *Your raft represent your CHOPs (curiosities, hobbies, obsessions, and passions). *Make a long list of your CHOPS now: -Curiosities -Hobbies -Obsessions -Passions Mini-Journey 3: Figure Out Your Contributions THE JUNGLE *Imagine that you have now entered a tropical forest. *It is a jungle out there – there is a lot of risk and uncertainty. This is a world full of wicked problems and complex challenges. *You do not know what you will encounter in this journey. Nevertheless, you continue walking and exploring. You intend to carve your own path. You will make your own mark in the jungle. *You carry a shovel and an axe. These are your tools/toolkits. *Think about all your projects (i.e., your contribution, value creation, and problem solving). *Make a long list of your projects, solutions, systems, models, innovations, etc. -Which problems will you address and solve? -How will you create and add value? -What will be

ART DESCRIPTION/SYNOPSIS: "THE BORING LECTURE" “Curiosity and creativity are the new productivity.” Despite the abundance of entertainment media at the touch of our fingertips, we easily feel bored these days and we desperately want to escape from our mundane lives. Boredom strikes us particularly hard when we feel trapped by endless tasks, responsibilities, habits, and routines in our lives. We want to escape and immerse ourselves in new worlds – perhaps worlds that are more colorful, exciting, rich, and novel. We seek adventures to save us from all the baggage, drudgery, stress, and anxiety that surrounds us. ‘The Boring Lecture’ invites you to new possibilities and exciting life strategies to escape from boredom. It takes a bit of imagination, courage, and experimentation to get out of boredom (the rut). We will try to escape monotony and mediocrity through embracing uncertainty, curiosity, and wonder. Towards this goal, we take on a cross-disciplinary tour and explore geeks, mavericks, eccentric artists, weirdoes, crazy entrepreneurs, inventors, dreamers, mind-expanding authors, and insane filmmakers. As we travel from the sublime to the ridiculous, we will expand our sense of what is possible. Asteroids, stars, black holes, computer games, books, movies, and of course, the Metaverse will accompany us on our wonderful journey. We will travel through our body, our mind, our sleep, and our dreams. We will try to solve two dozens of mini-puzzles and we will experiment with a dozen of mini-learning adventures. We will explore future disruptive innovations and potential trillionaire sectors. We will learn about the new gold rush: The space economy. Finally, we will fly through space and land on Mars. We will learn about the Mars Generation and imagine what daily life might look like at the red planet. This will be a wild tour – far from boring - are you ready?

From the Metaverse to NFTs, from blockchain to GPT-3, from YOLO economy to crowdfunding, we witness a Cambrian explosion of intelligence and accelerated innovation. The world is changing too fast and our educational systems are stuck in the past. How can we design customized learning journeys that celebrate the unique talents and passions of our students? How can we inspire our students to unleash their creativity and create their own assets? I decided to wear four new hats of an entrepreneur, an artist, a futurist, and a content creator. I aim to enable learning moments driven by curiosity, excitement, and fun. I aim to share a glimpse of my own journey in this workshop.

In this seminar, we have a couple of activities aimed at improving your employability and personal brand. First, we discuss your job application portfolio. Second, we prepare our benchmarking table. In this exercise, you learn about brands at multiple levels (country brands, company brands, and individual brands). You choose 3 countries, 4 companies, and 4 individuals. You reflect on their success stories and brand power: What can you learn from these brands? How can you learn further? You create lessons and inspiration from these brands for your career. Third, you create a business model canvas to create your own creative assets. You might use this activity to plan your asset creation strategies, such as creating your own YouTube channel, podcast, or Medium blog. Fourth, you create a personal branding canvas to improve your employability. We go over a sample personal branding canvas exercise to illustrate how you can position yourself and your brand for the companies that you are applying for. Best luck in your job applications.

Designing Your Future: Creative and Reflective Exercises for Your Career

Fahri Karakas

In this workshop, I have just told the truth, only the truth to my students. Here is the core message: You cannot trust the system. You cannot trust institutions. You need to create your own system to design your life and be independent. This means taking control of your own life, career, and money. The world is crazy and full of shit out there. The earlier you realize this, the less you will get disappointed. The world is changing fast, but our systems, governments, universities, and institutions are unfortunately slow in adapting to these changes. That is why you need to assume full responsibility for your own learning, development, and asset creation. Even though many things look very bleak, you can still survive and thrive in this environment. You need to think and act like an entrepreneur. You need to learn about personal finance and investments to achieve financial independence in your life. This involves creating multiple income streams, creating assets, and creating a path to financial freedom.
