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. With a profound belief in the transformative power of self-awareness and emotional intelligence, she has dedicated her life's work to empowering individuals to take control of their own destinies. Driven by a vision of a world where individuals are empowered to embrace self-responsibility and conscious living, Vivienne continues to inspire positive change, one person at a time.
