The Next Chapter: A Guided Meditation & Reflection Circle

Mon, Jul 20, 8:30 AM

From BelongOz

Register here: [https://events.humanitix.com/thenextchaptermeditation](https://events.humanitix.com/thenextchaptermeditation) **Join us for a beautiful guided meditation & reflection circle, led by meditation teacher and life coach Veerle Beelen Da Costa David.** Have you ever caught yourself wondering… **“What’s next for me?”** Maybe you’ve outgrown a chapter of your life, but the next one hasn’t become clear yet. You can feel that something is shifting. But the more you try to think your way to the answer, the further away it seems. If that sounds familiar, this evening is for you. Instead of searching for answers outside yourself, you’ll be guided inward to reconnect with the quiet place that already knows what you need. Veerle often calls it **your hidden gem**: the inner wisdom that’s always been there, patiently waiting beneath the noise, overthinking, and expectations. Whether you’re navigating a career change, a life transition, or simply feeling ready for something new, this experience will help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and leave with greater clarity and a renewed sense of direction. Veerle’s guided meditations have been listened to more than **25k times** by people around the world, and she’s excited to bring one of her signature experiences exclusively to the BelongOz community. #### **✨ What you’ll experience** • A deeply relaxing guided meditation to reconnect with yourself and your next chapter • Guided journaling to capture the insights that arise • A warm and supportive reflection circle where you can share and connect You’ll leave feeling calmer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself than when you arrived. #### **✨ What to prepare** * Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. * Wear headphones for the most immersive experience. * Have a notebook and pen ready for journaling. * Bring an open mind — and no meditation experience is required. Whether this is your very first meditation or you’ve been practising for years, you’re warmly welcome. **Register here:** [https://events.humanitix.com/thenextchaptermeditation](https://events.humanitix.com/thenextchaptermeditation) **Please note:** To help create a safe and connected space for everyone, we ask that all participants keep their camera on during the event. *Photo & Video Disclaimer:* Please note that photos and videos may be taken throughout the event and may be used on our social media channels or other platforms.

SydDT #128: When Does Design Become Strategic?

Wed, Jul 22, 8:00 AM

From Sydney Design Thinking

4.7

Most designers want to be more strategic. But what does that actually mean? Is strategic design about working on bigger problems? Influencing executives? Creating visions and roadmaps? Driving transformation? Or are we confusing good design with strategic design? Join us for our July meetup where a panel of experienced strategic design leaders will explore one of the most debated questions in our profession: what makes design strategic? We’re lucky to have Dr Leanne Sobel, Jaimes Nel, Paul Merrell, and Lize Wordsworth sharing their insights with short lightning talks before we open up a panel discussion and audience conversation. We'll explore: * What strategic design is * What it isn’t – with common misconceptions and traps * How strategic design differs from other design disciplines * Where strategic design is heading * How designers can increase their strategic influence and impact Expect diverse perspectives, thoughtful discussions, and practical insights for designers at every stage of their career. Come join us for some fun conversations with interesting people in and around the design thinking community. New members are welcome! **SPEAKERS** **[Dr Leanne Sobel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lsobel/)** **Adjunct Fellow, UTS Business School** Leanne is a strategic designer, researcher, and educator. Her PhD research explored the role of design in strategy, and her work focuses on applying design practices, systems thinking, and participatory approaches to complex organisational challenges. With experience spanning consulting, academia, and industry, Leanne is a leading voice in the evolving field of strategic design. **[Jaimes Nel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimesnel/)** **Founder, Path Ventures** Jaimes is the founder of Path Ventures, a Sydney-based consultancy helping organisations connect strategy to action through design-led approaches. With more than 20 years of experience spanning service design, digital transformation, and organisational change, Jaimes has worked with organisations including the NHS, BBC, GOV.UK, Westpac, ING, and TAL. His work focuses on helping organisations “play the long game” by using strategic design to navigate complexity and deliver lasting change. **[Paul Merrell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-merrell-9861846/)** **Senior Service Designer, Allianz** Paul is a design leader and strategist with extensive experience applying service design and human-centred approaches to organisational transformation. Currently with Allianz Australia, Paul works at the intersection of customer experience, business strategy and change, helping organisations navigate complexity and deliver meaningful outcomes.

Testing Gen AI with Paul Maxwell-Walters & Influence in Testing by Rashik Prasad

Wed, Jul 29, 7:30 AM

From Sydney Testers

4.5

A bumper double-header of talks for our July Event with Rashik Prasad and Sydney Testers' own Paul Maxwell-Walters (and graciously hosted by Talenza), with the keynote covering how testers can achieve influence in decision making by Rashik Prasad and the next talk about testing Gen AI system. **Talk 1: How Your Teams can Test And Evaluate Gen AI and the Software that Uses It - Paul Maxwell-Walters** There has been much talk in QA about using Gen AI tools in our work to generate test cases and automation – however until recently very little on how testers can test the non-deterministic outputs of AI and evaluate their quality. Typically, direct testing of Gen AI is ignored and left for AI engineers and data scientists. This is a grave mistake. As products using Gen AI like ChatGPT become mainstream and used by all, testers need to learn how to write and automate testing of them – and fast. My talk is on techniques, tools and workflows used to validate the outputs of AI models and agents – including correct prompting, semantic and sentiment analysis, standard outputs, evals and LLM-as-Judge. I will call on my experience as QA lead at a Gen AI tech-ed startup , along with other approaches and use cases, to give info, tips and one or more demos to help you and your teams meet the challenge of testing Gen AI-powered applications. **Talk 2 (Keynote): Technical Excellent Alone Never Guarantees Success, Rashik Prasad** Technical excellence is the foundation of every successful testing career. \*It's what we're taught to develop. * It's what we spend years refining. \*And it's what our profession rightly values. But after leading testing across some of Australia's largest enterprise transformation and regulatory programmes, I've come to realise something that fundamentally changed the way I think about testing. Technical excellence alone never guarantees success. * Why do technically exceptional testing professionals sometimes struggle to influence important decisions? \*Why can the same testing evidence lead different stakeholders to completely different conclusions? * And why do some testing professionals consistently help programmes move forward, even when the testing itself hasn't changed? In this thought-provoking keynote, Rashik challenges one of the profession's most deeply held assumptions and explores what he believes is the missing half of testing. Drawing on real enterprise experiences, you'll discover why the role of testing doesn't end when the evidence is produced, and why the most effective testing professionals understand how testing helps organisations make better decisions. This isn't a session about becoming less technical. It's about understanding how technical excellence achieves the influence it deserves. Whether you're a Test Analyst, Test Lead, Test Manager or senior quality leader, you'll recognise many of the situations discussed throughout the session because you've probably experienced them yourself. You may not leave agreeing with every idea. But I suspect you'll never look at testing in quite the same way again. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- There will be the usual opposrtunities for networking and fun and some prizes to give away! Not to be missed!

Mon, Jul 20, 11:30 PM

From At a Crossroads? Let's Talk About It

4.7

**Morning Walk & Talk (Manly) — for professionals & entrepreneurs figuring out what's next, one step at a time** A free morning walk for professionals and entrepreneurs who are figuring out what's next. If you're at a bit of a crossroads, between roles, rethinking the work, weighing up a change this is a low-key hour by the water with a few others in the same boat. We meet at the flags on Manly Beach (diagonal to the Steyne Hotel), walk to Shelly Beach and back (about an hour, easy pace), and talk as much or as little as you like. Come as you are talkers and walkers both welcome. Grab a coffee after if you fancy it. **A few things it's *not*:** Not a networking thing, not a support group, not coaching. Just a walk and honest conversation with people navigating similar in-between moments. Small on purpose — capped at 12. Hosted by Juan, who's figuring things out himself. **When:** Tuesday 21 July, 9:30am **Where:** At the flags on Manly Beach, diagonal to the Steyne Hotel **Bring:** comfortable shoes and water. Any wet weather call goes up here the morning of. **Updates:** I'll share any event updates through Meetup, so keep your notifications on 😃. **Weather:** if it looks iffy, I'll post the go/no-go here by 7:30am the morning of the event so you'll get a Meetup notification, so no one turns up to a washout.

Don't prompt the Solution: Build the Brain

Tue, Jul 21, 8:00 AM

From Sydney Creative Customer Experience (CCX)

4.7

Welcome Back CCX Sydney to our Events for 2026 from myself, Lydia, Sylvia and James and we are planning a bumper selection of speakers for the new year. Our next event on July 21st will be a interactive AI tools workshop facilitated by our very own James Earnshaw and from Faster Zebra Charbel Zeaiter who will both be showing and helping our CCX members move beyond the prompt and start using AI more effectively to deepen Design discovery. As this will be a workshop, will be applying a $10.00 cover charge to cover Food and drinks and on this occasion will be kindly hosted by our new friends at Lorikeet. Details below on the venue location (Surry Hills) **IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS SESSION!** **An Important detail is that due to gaining entry to Lorikeet we will need any CCX Member planning to attend this session to supply us with their First and Last name in advance of attending.** On this occasion we will not be able to accept Members who do not supply these details. Many thanks CCX Sydney. PLEASE NOTE Attendees please bring your own Laptops and your favourite AI prompting tools installed ready to use. **About the workshop** AI is often framed as a way to move faster: faster ideas, faster wireframes, faster outputs. But for designers, that may be the least interesting use case. This session explores how AI can be used at the beginning of the design process — during discovery, framing and definition — not to replace design thinking, but to amplify it. Drawing on the Double Diamond, service design and UX discovery practices, we’ll look at how small, deliberate interactions with AI can build a shared “project brain”: a strategic thinking partner that understands the context, constraints, users, assumptions, risks and emerging opportunities. This is not a talk about agents. It is not a demo of one tool. It is a practical exploration of how the skills designers already have — framing, questioning, synthesis, critique and sense-making — become even more valuable when working with AI. Part talk, part workshop, attendees will try a step-by-step discovery flow for themselves and explore how AI can help them stay in the problem space longer before jumping to solutions. About James: James Earnshaw is a UX and product design leader who has spent his career helping teams make sense of complex problems across telecommunications, banking and financial services. With a background in service design, discovery, design systems and enterprise product delivery, James is interested in how strong design process helps teams avoid rushing to the first plausible answer. Recently, he has been using that experience to develop a new way of working with AI — one that leans into the Double Diamond, structured discovery and step-by-step context building to turn AI into a sharper strategic partner, rather than just a faster content generator. About Charbel: With 27+ years across design, tech, education, entrepreneurship, and product, I’ve built things that breathe across four continents. From shop floors to strategy rooms, classrooms to fabric cutting rooms, I’ve helped companies and people shape their vision and make it tangible. Right now, Charbel is focused on: • Neupreneur (coming soon) • Faster Zebra: learning for the new economy • Velvet Onion & Friends: an innovation and product development agency • Febble Flim & Family: fictional worlds that dance too close to the edge of reality And now, I'm bringing these vast experiences to life: Young Founders, The Innovators, XD4.0 & Brand Mavericks: kits and books for mindset-first founders building ventures that open up a world of possibility. If you're to explore something - conventional, unconventional, or completely undefined - I’d love to hear what you’re working on. Good things come to those who make. Therefore don't miss out on a place at our second interactive workshop CCX Sydney event for 2026, as places will be limited for this session.
