**Discovery starts here! La parte del proceso que nadie te enseña** ¿Qué pasa cuando el equipo deja de caber en una mesa? Cuando ya no basta con mirarse a la cara para saber por dónde va cada uno. Cuando lo informal deja de escalar y hay que inventar una forma nueva de empezar las cosas. Esta es la historia de cómo Agustina Segura, Senior Product Manager en Total Energies y Jessica Siruno, Product Designer de Business Insights, aprendieron a trabajar juntas en ese momento exacto: el del Discovery. Cuatro versiones, muchos tropiezos y algunas conversaciones que cambiaron la forma en que entendemos nuestro trabajo. Hablaremos de lo que se rompe cuando un equipo crece, de las decisiones que se toman en pasillos paralelos, y de cómo aprendimos a hacer visible lo que antes dábamos por hecho. Pero sobre todo, hablaremos de personas — de las que diseñan, de las que planifican, de las que desarrollan — y de cómo encontrar una forma común de empezar. Una charla sobre lo que pasa antes de que pase algo. Y sobre por qué casi siempre se nos olvida prepararlo. Al terminar, habrá tiempo para debatir y hacer networking con unos refrigerios en la terraza de Aticco Verdaguer! Agenda: 18;30 - 19:10 - Charla B! talks: Discovery starts here! 19:10- 20:00 - Networking con cervezas en la terraza Reserva tu plaza: https://bit.ly/42ZcihU

AI has made it easier to move fast, but not easier to know what matters. As design teams adopt AI into their workflows, the challenge is no longer just output. It is coherence: knowing what to automate, how to measure value and how to lead people through a shift that is changing expectations in real time. On 27 May, Greg Kozakiewicz joins us for a practical talk on design’s next competitive advantage. The session will look at the “60/40” ratio in AI-driven design work, and what it means for designers, design leaders, and teams trying to stay strategically relevant while everything gets faster. We’ll explore: * Why speed is no longer enough * What the “60/40” ratio means for modern design teams * How to measure design value beyond taste and output * How business thinking increase design’s influence * Where design systems fit in the AI era How to manage teams, expectations and ambiguity right now This is not a portfolio talk. It’s a practical session for designers who want to understand where the work is heading, how to stay useful and how to turn design into a clearer business advantage.

In a world where fascists are winning elections, economic inequality is rampant, and the climate crisis is at its tipping point, it can feel like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is too much to handle. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action? Who will free us if not ourselves? In her new book Radical Justice, international human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow offers a powerful and practical guide for strengthening the movement for freedom and equality for all. Drawing on decades of legal and activist work, she shows how each of us—within our own spheres of influence—can take meaningful action toward systemic change. Inspired by anti-racist and social justice thinkers such as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Angela Davis, Radical Justice moves beyond despair and into action. The book explores concrete pathways including strategic litigation, digital rights, reparations, and climate justice, while inviting readers to learn, reflect, and act in a society that often tells us change is impossible. Brandee Butler, CEO of the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) and a long-time strategist working at the intersection of human rights, philanthropy, and responsible business, will host Jansen Reventlow in conversation. Taking inspiration from the book, they will explore some of the most pressing issues of our time and, most importantly, how each of us can be the revolution. **EVENT SCHEDULE** 17:30 Walk-in and informal mingling 18:00 Conversation begins 19:00 Book signing and continued conversation 19:30 Event ends *About the speakers* **Nani Jansen Reventlow** is an internationally recognised human rights lawyer who has worked with communities, movements, courts, and international institutions to challenge structural injustice and expand civic space.

Culture Jam welcomes[ La Casa Roja](https://www.instagram.com/lacasaroja.barcelona/)! A space for cyclical living, women’s health, yoga and collective care. On the occasion of International Menstrual Health Day, we invite you to gather for an intimate and open conversation around menstrual health, wellbeing and menstrual rights. This encounter marks the beginning of La Casa Roja, a project that creates spaces for embodied wellbeing, yoga, education, dialogue, and community and planetary care through a feminist and holistic approach to women’s health. Menstrual health continues to be surrounded by silence, stigma and misinformation. Yet talking about our cycles also means talking about health, rights, emotions, work, relationships, rest and the ways we inhabit our bodies. This gathering is an invitation to reconnect with the body as a source of knowledge, intuition and collective wisdom. Together we will reflect on: • menstrual health and cyclical awareness • menstrual dignity and rights • collective care and women’s wellbeing • why creating spaces for these conversations matters. The event will be held in both English and Spanish. No prior knowledge is needed, only openness, curiosity and the desire to share space with others. The event will also include the presentation of La Casa Roja’s vision, future activities and community initiatives. ✨ Come as you are. ✨Non menstruators are welcome ✨ Bring a friend if you’d like. ✨ Let’s open the conversation together.

Let’s meet and share discussion of the James Baldwin short story collection, Going to Meet The Man.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
