DIY (Do It Yourself)

ONLINE Free 4 sessions — Apr 7, 9, 14, 16 @ 1-2pm CT Most technical professionals are the smartest people in the room and the least likely to voice it. Hello World is a free, low pressure, four-session online workshop that uses standup comedy as a practical framework for communication, confidence, and presence. It's built specifically for engineers, IT pros, DevOps, PMs, and cybersecurity folks who are tired of having great ideas that don't get the attention they deserve. Over this 4-session series, you’ll learn simple, practical tools to: * Communicate with clarity and confidence * Structure ideas so they land * Add memorability to your work communications * Think on your feet and stay calm * Actually enjoy speaking Recent tech professionals that have taken the course come to learn how to think on their feet, how to transfer their Slack jokes into full jokes, or how to add levity to their workplace. All join in for the dose of dopamine. "I joined out of curiosity. I didn’t expect it to change how I show up in meetings, but it did. My boss was impressed with my set and asked me to take on a new opportunity at work.” [Register to save your spot for April 7](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985834274773?aff=oddtdtcreator) **What you get:** * 4 virtual coaching sessions over 2 weeks (Tuesdays & Thursdays, 11am PT/1pm CT) * Weekly drop-in micro-exercises + practice hours * Supportive, low-pressure environment with like-minded fellow tech pros * A totally different approach to professional development No Comedy Experience Required.

Love meeting new people? Passionate about building community and bringing ideas to life? I'm looking for enthusiastic, creative, and community-minded people to join the Leadership Team for one of Austin’s most active social meetup groups. Whether you’re an experienced event planner or just someone who loves connecting people, this is your chance to help create events, grow friendships, and make a real impact in Austin’s social scene. **Why Become an Event Organizer** Create meaningful connections and new friendships. Share your interests, whether that’s hiking, live music, happy hours, or unique local adventures. Gain valuable experience in leadership, teamwork, and event management. Be part of a growing, positive community that’s all about getting offline and meeting in real life. **Who Should Attend** Anyone curious about hosting events, volunteering, or getting more involved with the group. This is an informal, no-pressure meetup, come with questions, ideas, or just to see what it’s all about. RSVP now to join our Meetup Leadership Info Session and learn how you can help build community, create connection, and make Austin a friendlier place, one event at a time.

Chess, beer and pizza! Can it get any better? Come join us for a fun filled night of casual, social chess. We will provide the boards just bring yourself.

**IMPORTANT:** Due to construction at our previous meeting location which closed down the parking lot we've temporarily moved the starting location to **Brushy Creek Lake Park**. The relevant information has been updated to reflect this. Join us for our **recurring** scenic **6.6-mile (10.6-km)** evening at the Brushy Creek Regional Trail in Cedar Park! We’ll take a relaxed pace through one of the city’s most beautiful trails. The hike should take about **2 hours**. **ℹ️ Additional info** The purpose of this specific event is to have a recurring way for us to meet relatively easily. I want to make sure that recurring events are a "low effort" commitment, ie you don't have to drive 2 hours to get there. In the future once we have more organizers I plan to have more recurring events scheduled so we can cover a larger area. Also, you may have noticed that **this event has an RSVP limit**. This is done for multiple reasons. Not only to ensure that a large group is not disruptive to the rest of the Austin community on the trail, but also to allow us to prioritize the "meetup" experience for every attendee, as having +60 people may be overwhelming, and ultimately the goal of this group is to build a community, not just a collection of individuals that like a specific trail. **📍 Where to Meet** 2310 Brushy Creek Rd, Cedar Park, TX 78613 Google Maps **exact meeting spot link**: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yAzHpoVQdXXAG3XD8 Route on **AllTrails**: [Will be added in the future] **🅿️ Parking** Parking is available directly at the parking lot close to where we'll meet. There will be enough space for everyone. **ℹ️ Recommendations** * Bring good shoes (Although the terrain isn't challenging and relatively flat) * Pack some water (More than you need, just in case) * Bring a friend! (That's my attempt at a shameless self-promo for the group. Although even if you don't, I am confident that you'll get along great with the people you'll meet at the event!) * A flashlight! Your phone is better than nothing, but a dedicated flashlight would only be of benefit of you as the sun sets! **👍 Good to know** * 🐶 Dog-friendly * 👨‍👩‍👧 Family-friendly * ♿ Wheelchair accessible **Event Etiquette (Important!)** * If you RSVP'd, but are unable to make it, please update your attendance as soon as possible. The attendance limit prevents new people from joining if we're at capacity otherwise. If we notice a pattern of you RSVPing to events and not showing up, you will be kicked from this group. * Please show up on time. We will start right at the indicated event time. This is to respect everyones time. If you're a few minutes late, it should not be an issue as the "intro" to the event may take 15 minutes or so, but we will not delay the start until you get there. * Other than that, I know all of you will help me make this group great for everyone. So thanks in advance for that! **Event itinerary** Below is the general outline of how the events are going to function * Updates since last event * Official introductions of everyone * Icebreaker question * The event itself * After event: * (As needed) Updates for next event(s) * Exchange goodbyes **🙂 I want your feedback!** I am working on making this description as informative as possible, if anything is missing, you have any recommendations or there are errors/mistakes, please reach out to me, thanks!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
