Mid-Year Reset - The Courage To Be Ambitious

Sat, May 30, 3:00 AM

From Business & Professional Women (BPW) Sydney

**Mid-Year Reset - The Courage To Be Ambitious** Create Direction and Momentum in this Half Day Masterclass **Speaker: David Newton** **By the end of May most people realise something quietly important.** The goals they set at the beginning of the year have either gained momentum… or drifted slightly off course. This is normal. The reality is that meaningful goals rarely unfold in a straight line. Sometimes they require a reset. Sometimes a new decision. **And sometimes simply a fresh perspective.** This relaxed afternoon masterclass is designed to give you the space to step back, reflect, and reconnect with what you want to accomplish during the second half of the year. **Saturday 30th May 2026** **1:00pm – 5:00pm** Ford Room – Level 3 Crows Nest Community Centre (5 minute walk from the Metro Station) Light refreshments served during the break. **During the afternoon we will explore ideas such as:** • How powerful decisions often change the direction of a year • Why many intelligent people lose momentum halfway through their goals • How setbacks and rejection can sometimes become the turning point for success • How to remain focused when circumstances around you feel uncertain • Where new opportunities and resources often appear when you change direction **Who this session is for:** • Business owners and professionals who want to regain momentum this year • People with goals or projects that have stalled or slowed down • Anyone who wants to make the second half of 2026 count This is not a high-pressure seminar. It is simply an opportunity to spend a few hours thinking more clearly about your goals, your direction and what the rest of the year could still become.

Accelerated Serendipity - Planning To Be Lucky

Sat, Jun 13, 6:00 AM

From Transformational Leaders Collective

4.5

Most people think luck means random chance. This experiential learning session will mess with that assumption, and reveals how personal and professional transformation often begins with the opportunities we learn to notice, create, and act on. Yes, many people accidentally stumble into rewards. But for the rest of our lives, there is growing evidence that we are often the biggest limiter of our own success - including in situations involving random chance that could benefit us. Through interactive games, social experiments, roleplay scenarios, chain-reaction challenges, and coincidence simulations, we’re turning serendipity into something you can begin activating all around you. You’ll experience: 🎲 how to tweak conversation to bring up opportunities 🎲 invisible domino effects behind synchronicity 🎲 why energy, enthusiasm, and participation magnify possibilities 🎲 "being in the right place at the right time" more often 🎲 activate secrets of momentum no one talks about By the end of the session, you may begin questioning whether luck was ever truly random to begin with. Or at the very least…why not begin by asking: “What is the best that can happen?” if you attend this event. Secure your spot for this ticketed event at: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1585189 **ABOUT** Utopia Rising delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again. It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food.

SuperConshy: The Game That Rewires How You Make Decisions

Sat, May 30, 7:00 AM

From Sydney's Entrepreneurs Networking

4.7

Most entrepreneurs, consultants, and leaders don’t lack strategy. They lack visibility into the thinking patterns driving their decisions, leadership style, and results. We all operate within invisible structures—assumptions, beliefs, and reactions that shape how we: * Lead teams * Influence clients * Navigate uncertainty * Make high-stakes decisions **SuperConshy makes those invisible patterns visible, through play.** This isn’t a typical workshop or networking event. It’s an interactive, shared self-awareness experience designed for people who work with people. **A Different Kind of Growth Experience** In business, results are often treated as a function of strategy and execution. But beneath both… is how you think. When you play ***SuperConshy***, you’ll start to notice: * When you’re operating from clarity vs reactivity * The hidden drivers behind your decisions and behaviours * How your internal state influences external outcomes Each moment in the game reflects how you show up in real business situations allowing you to recognise patterns in real time and shift them. Because when you change the structure behind your thinking, you change how you lead, decide, and perform. ### **What You’ll Experience** * **Deeper Self-Awareness:** Identify the patterns shaping your leadership, communication, and decision-making * **Practical Insight:** Gain tools to navigate complexity, uncertainty, and people dynamics more effectively * **Engaged Learning:** A highly interactive experience that blends depth with energy, reflection with play * **Meaningful Connections:** Opportunities to connect and network with like-minded professionals in a more authentic, insightful way than traditional networking **What Stays With You After the Game** **For You as a Leader** * Clearer thinking under pressure * Greater emotional regulation and resilience * More intentional, aligned decision-making **For Your Clients, Teams & Stakeholders** * Stronger communication and influence * Increased trust and connection * The ability to navigate conflict and complexity with greater ease **For Your Business & Work** * Sharper focus on what truly matters * Greater adaptability in uncertain environments * More conscious, effective leadership **Who This Is For** This experience is designed for professionals who operate in high-trust, high-impact environments, including: * Entrepreneurs and founders * Consultants and advisors * Coaches (executive, business, leadership, life) * Business leaders and decision-makers If your work depends on how well you think, relate, and respond—this will be directly relevant. **How This Works** * Small groups of 4–5 people per table * Professionally facilitated or guided experience * Structured yet engaging gameplay (no prior experience required) * A respectful, confidential environment * Opportunities for reflection, without pressure to overshare **A High-Quality, Small Group Experience** Spaces are intentionally limited to ensure depth, quality interaction, and meaningful insight for every participant—while also creating space for genuine connection and valuable professional relationships to form. Master your internal game. Win in the external one. **🎟️ Register at:** [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/superconshy-what-if-a-game-could-change-your-life-tickets-1988469393484?](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/superconshy-what-if-a-game-could-change-your-life-tickets-1988469393484?aff=oddtdtcreator) Your ticket includes afternoon tea, snacks, dinner, and drinks. **ABOUT** ***Vivienne Black***, Founder of Vitelligence and the boardgame, ***SuperConshy.*** Vivienne is deeply committed to raising the collective consciousness and fostering personal growth on a global scale.

SuperConshy: What If A Game Could Change Your Life?

Sat, May 30, 7:00 AM

From Wired For Wisdom

Most people don’t realise how deeply their thinking shapes their reality. We operate within invisible patterns - habits, beliefs, and emotional responses - that quietly influence how we lead, connect, and make decisions. ***SuperConshy*** brings those hidden patterns into the light, through play. You’re not just playing… you’re being revealed! This isn’t your typical game night. It’s a powerful, interactive experience designed to spark self-awareness, meaningful connection, and lasting transformation. Because in this game, the real win happens after you stop playing. When you play ***SuperConshy***, you’re not just rolling dice, you’re exploring how you show up in life. You’ll begin to recognise what’s pulling you toward what you don’t want, so you can naturally shift toward what you do want. It reveals the hidden patterns shaping your thoughts, behaviours, and results - helping you to: 💡 Recognise when you’re stuck… and how to shift into flow. 💡 Gain clarity on what you truly want 💡 Catch unhelpful patterns before they take over 💡 Improve how you think, communicate, and lead 💡 Experience real insights in a fun, engaging way **What You’ll Experience** * **Greater awareness:** Uncover underlying thought patterns and behavioural tendencies, and gain deeper insight into yourself and others * **Personal Growth:** Develop new perspectives for navigating challenges, decisions, and relationships with clarity * **Fun & Connection:** A shared experience that’s both powerful and accessible designed to foster authentic professional and personal connections **What Stays With You After the Game** * **For You:** Greater clarity, confidence, and emotional awareness * **For Relationships:** Better listening, stronger connection, less reactive communication * **For Everyday Life:** Improved focus, resilience, and more intentional decision-making **Who This Is For** This experience is especially valuable for anyone who: * Are curious about deepening self-awareness in a practical way * Cares deeply about their relationships * Want a fresh, practical lens on human behaviour * Supports others in emotional or relational growth * Works with people, teams, or human dynamics * Wants more conscious connection in everyday life **How This Works** * Small groups of 4–5 people per table * Professionally facilitated or guided experience * Structured yet engaging gameplay (no prior experience required) * A respectful, confidential environment * Opportunities for reflection, without pressure to overshare **Play the game. Change the way you think, lead, and connect.** **🎟️ Register at:** [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/superconshy-what-if-a-game-could-change-your-life-tickets-1988469393484?](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/superconshy-what-if-a-game-could-change-your-life-tickets-1988469393484?aff=oddtdtcreator) Your ticket includes afternoon tea, snacks, dinner, and drinks. **ABOUT** ***Vivienne Black***, Founder of Vitelligence and the boardgame, ***SuperConshy.*** Vivienne is deeply committed to raising the collective consciousness and fostering personal growth on a global scale.

SuperConshy: What You Think About, You Bring About

Sat, May 30, 7:00 AM

What are you focussing on - What you DON'T want, or what you DO want? Most people are trying to improve their lives - personally, professional, socially and spiritually. But often, the real barrier isn’t effort. It’s the patterns we can’t see. The thoughts, reactions, and habits that quietly shape: * How we show up in relationships * How we connect with others * How we navigate our careers and opportunities * How we respond to challenges and change **SuperConshy brings those invisible patterns into the light—through play.** This isn’t just a game night. It’s a shared self-awareness experience designed to help you understand yourself—and others—on a deeper level. ### **A Different Way to Grow** Most personal development focuses on learning what to do. ***SuperConshy*** helps you see how you’re being while you do it. As you play, you’ll start to notice: * When you feel open, confident, and in flow * When you feel stuck, reactive, or uncertain * The subtle patterns influencing your choices and interactions And once you see these patterns, you can begin to shift them—naturally and in real time. Because when your awareness changes, your relationships, decisions, and direction begin to change too. **What You’ll Experience** * **Self-Awareness:** Discover the hidden patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours * **Personal Growth:** Gain practical insights to navigate life, relationships, and career choices more effectively * **Fun & Connection:** A relaxed, engaging environment where meaningful conversations and genuine social connections happen naturally * **Authentic Networking:** Connect with like-minded people in a way that goes beyond surface-level small talk **What Stays With You After the Game** **For You** * Greater clarity, confidence, and emotional awareness * The ability to catch unhelpful thoughts before they take over * More intentional decision-making in everyday life **For Your Relationships & Social Life** * Better listening and deeper conversations * Less reactivity, more understanding * Stronger, more authentic connections **For Your Career & Growth** * Increased confidence in navigating opportunities and change * Clearer thinking in decision-making * A greater sense of direction and purpose **Who This Is For** This experience is ideal for anyone who wants to grow personally while also improving how they connect with others and move forward in life, including: * Individuals focused on personal development and self-awareness * Professionals looking to grow in their careers * People wanting to build more meaningful relationships and social connections * Anyone curious about understanding themselves—and others—more deeply **A Thoughtful, Small Group Experience** Spaces are intentionally limited to create a safe, engaging environment where real conversations, meaningful insights, and genuine connections can unfold. **🎟️ Register at:** [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/superconshy-what-if-a-game-could-change-your-life-tickets-1988469393484?](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/superconshy-what-if-a-game-could-change-your-life-tickets-1988469393484?aff=oddtdtcreator) Your ticket includes afternoon tea, snacks, dinner, and drinks. **ABOUT** ***Vivienne Black***, Founder of Vitelligence and the boardgame, ***SuperConshy.*** Vivienne is deeply committed to raising the collective consciousness and fostering personal growth on a global scale.

Inside Payroll: Where Things Can Go Wrong

Thu, May 28, 2:00 AM

4.7

**Inside Payroll: Where Things Go Wrong** *** Most of the time, payroll looks fine. The system runs. The reports balance. Nothing obvious stands out. *** But as we’ve seen time and time again… that doesn’t always mean it’s right. *** This is a relaxed session to step back and talk about what’s really going on inside payroll systems: • Where things can quietly go wrong • Why issues don’t always show up in reports • How the same rules can lead to different outcomes • What most people never think to check *** No heavy legislation. No technical overload. Just a practical, honest conversation about how payroll actually behaves in the real world. *** If you work in payroll, bookkeeping, HR or finance — or you’re responsible for getting payroll right — this will be a valuable discussion. *** Come along, grab some lunch, and be part of the conversation. Early bird (until Friday evening on 24th April 2026): $79🎟 Standard: $97. Prices are plus GST. Email [askarin@payrollwhizzards.com.au](mailto:askarin@payrollwhizzards.com.au) for payment details
