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:

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

I will now write an article for Medium.
I will then create a detailed guide and six sets of exercises.
Perhaps participants can write 6 letters to self for each
