Perseverance

Let's have a conversation about Perseverance.

We'll have this conversation in a whole new location reserved for us: Diakonie @Theresienstraße! This organization is lending us a space just for ourselves for the evening, which will be more quiet and more conducive to deep conversations. Looking forward to see you there!

Feel free to bring something small to eat/drink.

Here are a few questions we will consider during this evening:

• what is perseverance?
• when should we continue, and when should we give up?
• what's the difference between perseverance and stubborn-ness?
• what's your attitude with regards to failure? What about societal norms and culture around failure?
• is perseverance too hyped?

If you've never participated before, here's what to expect:

• 2 hours of deep, interesting conversations in a respectful environment that will elevate your spirit and give you new ideas for life, work or relationships
• a supportive group of people sharing their own unique experiences and viewpoints, and encouraging you to do the same
• a rich mix of newcomers and regulars from different countries and cultures for a broad diversity of opinions and experiences

Please remember the existing rules of this group:

• DO listen respectfully. DON'T interrupt others.
• DO show up with a learning mindset. DON'T try to win an argument.
• DO show curiosity towards other people experiences and ideas. DON'T project judgement and blame.
• DO make yourself fully present. DON'T pull out your phone during the conversation.

🚫 No-show policy
As the group size is small, no-shows have a strong negative impact on the group. As such, the policy is that as a general rule, no-shows and same-day cancellations will not be able to sign up for future events. To avoid this:

• Only reserve a spot if you really intend to come.
• If your plans have changed, cancel at least 24 hours before the event, to give people on the waiting list a chance to change their own plans and make it to the event.
• If you have a real last-minute emergency and need to cancel in the last 24 hours, please contact me directly to avoid "no-show" status.
