*“credentialism is the last acceptable prejudice. In the United States and Europe, disdain for the poorly educated is more pronounced (...) than prejudice against other disfavored groups”* **Michael J. Sandel - The Tyranny of Merit.** **(In english!)** Modern societies increasingly celebrate meritocracy — the idea that talent and effort should determine success. In principle, this seems logical: those who contribute more through their effort or abilities should secure a better life for themselves. Yet meritocracy has many critics. Some argue that it simply does not work or is broken. Others go further: even if it worked perfectly, it would still be unfair — and potentially oppressive. In *The Tyranny of Merit*, Michael J. Sandel, an american philosopher, argues that this belief system has quietly reshaped modern societies, fueling resentment, individualism, a loss of solidarity, and even contributing to the rise of radical political movements. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests with the question: * Have you ever achieved something difficult in your career? * How proud do you feel about it? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Do you think meritocracy actually exists? 2. Do you feel you truly deserve everything you have today? 3. Have you ever worked hard and still failed? 4. If success is deserved, does failure become deserved too? 5. Do you believe people who struggle are mostly responsible for their situation? 6. Can a society be both highly competitive and compassionate? 7. Should a CEO earn 100 times more than an employee? 8. Does a person’s market value reflect their social contribution or moral worth? 9. Does meritocracy unite or divide society? 10. Should policies aim for equality of outcomes, rather than only equality of opportunity? 11. Do you think meritocracy encourages humility or arrogance? 12. Do working-class voters feel represented by today’s progressive politicians? Why or why not? 13. What happens in a society where everyone has reached their “deserved” position? What happens to those at the bottom? 14. If you are a hardworking person, is that something you built — or something you were lucky to become? *** ### Thought Experiments * Two children: one born into wealth, one into poverty * Two worlds: one aristocratic, one meritocratic **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you are looking to order food, or drink alcohol-free wine, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection. We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow. These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself. To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

Most professional events feel like a job interview. Most social hangouts feel like aimless small talk. **We are here to do the opposite!** 🌟 WHY JOIN? At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting. We don’t just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. WHO IS THIS FOR? * 🎀 It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand. * 🎀 If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. * 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. * 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard.

We don’t shy away from the 'M' word at our table. Normalizing conversations about money is how we empower our circle — whether that’s exploring how to make your wealth work for you while you sleep, navigating the hurdles of investing, or sharing the financial challenges unique to women. These topics deserve a safe, casual space. Because real empowerment isn’t just a mindset; it’s about having the tools to fund your freedom. We’re here to bypass surface-level networking and dive into the things the corporate world often ignores. COME JOIN US IF YOU'RE * **Building your Budapest circle**, weather you're a local or a newcomer (expat), ready to make this city feel like home. * **Hungry for high-fidelity connections** that go deeper than a business card. * **Eager to swap stories** with women who see the world differently than you do. * **Looking for your people** and a supportive space where you can be inspired and offer a hand to others. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS **We discover the city’s hidden gems together.** Once you register, you’ll receive the secret location for our gathering. **You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome hug** **and your first coffee (or tea) is on us**. We keep our groups intimate to ensure real conversation. With the help of a facilitator and our custom cards, we open the door to insights you won't find anywhere else. **No pressure, just presence.** You can stay quiet and listen, or share your wisdom with the group. You only share what you’re comfortable with. When the gathering ends, the connection continues, and you’ll be invited to our private community to keep the chemistry going. WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT We know the algorithm loves loud, party-style events, but we believe in the power of the intimate and the intentional. We are here for the women who want to be seen, heard, and truly connected. 👉 Take your seat at our table.[ Register here](https://luma.com/mwb10eo1) \-\-\- *This group is part of the Women's Coffee Network.

We are back. And yes, we're keeping the Friday tradition alive! For this event, we’re cutting through the noise. In a world where everyone is shouting for attention, being "good" isn't enough anymore, you have to be **unforgettable**. This time, we’re dissecting the art of becoming truly memorable, both on stage and on the screen. This isn’t about cheap marketing hacks or shallow virality. It’s about understanding the core mechanics of how to make your ideas stick, how to resonate deeply with your audience, and how to scale a brand that commands the room. **The Agenda & What You'll Learn:** Two expert angles, one goal: Make sure you never blend into the background again. **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect. **18:10 – 18:15: Event Kickoff & Intro.** Setting the stage for a night of high-impact learning. **18:15 – 18:30: How to be a Memorable Presenter (by Alex MacIntosh).** Ever wonder why some talks echo in your mind for days, while others fade before the speaker even leaves the stage?

You’ll discover the psychological hooks that guarantee your audience leans in, pays attention, and actually acts on your core message. Walk away with an actionable framework to ensure your next pitch is unforgettable. **18:30 – 18:45: How to Build a Memorable Online Presence (by Chris Parker).** "Build it and they will come" is a lie in today's crowded digital landscape.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
