May your future be what defines you: vision boarding

Sun, Oct 4, 12:00 AM

From Girls Who Boss - Melbourne

4.8

*May my future follow me into a room as aggressively as my past does.* Words that started as an affirmation in the phone notes but became something bigger. Because we have all walked into rooms carrying hard things. The stories we tell about ourselves, the chapters we would rather skip past, the versions of us that survived days we do not talk about at dinner parties. Sometimes, it’s easy for those things to dominate a conversation. Or to linger in the back of our minds while the room moves around us. Sometimes, our pain introduces us before we have had the chance to say who we are becoming. But what if the future could enter first? What if the woman you are working towards, the career you are building, the love you are opening yourself up to, the impact you want to have, could walk into the room before anything else? What if the room could feel your future before it remembered your past? This is a morning to explore that question. Join us for a guided journaling and vision boarding session where we will sit together and write and create our way towards the lives we are heading into. By choosing, on paper and in community, to let our future take up more space than what came before it. **What to expect** \* Guided journaling and vision boarding prompts centred on your next chapter, the woman you are becoming, and the life you are making room for \* A warm, held space with other women who are also in the process of rebuilding, or stepping into something new \* Time for quiet reflection and time for gentle conversation **Who this is for** This is for the woman in transition. The woman who is tired of being defined by what happened to her and is ready to be known for what she is building. The woman who is healing and also dreaming. The woman who wants to write her future into something she can feel arriving. You do not need to be a writer. You do not need to have the right words. You just need to bring yourself, a pen, and a willingness to let your future lead. ***May we be defined by the places we are working towards and the women we are becoming, not by the days that have brought us to our knees.*** Read more about the motivation behind this event [here](https://girlswhoboss.substack.com/p/may-my-future-follow-me-into-a-room?r=4apm4h&utm_medium=ios).

Presenting - Stage style & class workshop

Thu, Oct 1, 8:15 AM

From SmashSpeak- Real World Presenting & Leadership

4.7

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshops- Tonight get involved and have some fun. Tonight we study and learn unique stage styles and techniques of world-class presenters. Be inspired by the styles of Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, etc. Add class, presence, vocal variety and impact to your own presentations. Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, RED Room (End of corridor) More to come...
