Mastermind Exploration:

In our mastermind session, we’ll explore how the 6-Word Story technique can be used to inspire a shift in research and design thinking. The premise is simple but profound: by condensing complex ideas into just six words, we challenge ourselves to focus on what truly matters. This exercise not only fosters clarity and creativity but also opens up new perspectives that can drive innovation.

Imagine you’re introducing a new concept in your field. Instead of presenting it in a lengthy, traditional format, you create a 6-Word Story that captures the essence of your idea. This approach can be particularly effective in research and design, where concise, impactful communication can lead to breakthroughs in thinking and application. The brevity of the story makes it memorable, and the clarity makes it actionable.
