🚀Still stuck in the same patterns? The real reason isn’t what you think—and it’s not discipline. 💡Real, lasting change doesn’t begin with motivation—it begins beneath your conscious awareness. In this powerful session, Harald Bartisch reveals why so many people stay stuck in repetitive behaviors despite their best efforts to change. You’ll explore how unconscious patterns, emotional triggers, and identity shape your decisions—and how these hidden drivers keep you in familiar loops. Instead of forcing change through willpower, this session introduces a more natural, effective approach grounded in NLP and practical psychology. Whether you're a coach, leader, or someone committed to personal growth, you’ll gain tools to recognize, interrupt, and transform these patterns—creating deeper, more sustainable results for yourself and your clients. 🗓️Join us this Sunday, **May 10, 2026**, for “**Breaking the Loop: How Real Change Happens Beneath Conscious Awareness**” with **Harald Bartisch**, and discover how to create real, lasting transformation from within. 🎯 **Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience** ✅ Understand why change feels difficult—and why it’s not about lacking discipline ✅ Learn how to identify and break unconscious patterns that keep you stuck 🎯 Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits ✅ Reframe change as a natural and achievable process ✅ Gain simple, practical tools for lasting transformation ✅ Support clients in moving beyond resistance more effectively ✅ Develop deeper awareness of how identity and emotions shape behavior ✅ Build confidence in guiding personal and professional change **🎤ABOUT THE SPEAKER🎤** Harald Bartisch is an experienced coach and consultant with over 30 years in engineering and industrial leadership, including 20+ years managing production companies and teams in China. Today, he brings that depth of real-world experience into coaching, helping individuals break unconscious patterns and create meaningful transformation. As an NLP Master Practitioner and ICF Coach, Harald is passionate about guiding people to reconnect with themselves and move forward with clarity and purpose. **CONTACT DETAILS** **Email**: harald.bartisch@bbasci.com **Wechat ID**: message3334 **Facebook**: https://www.facebook.com/harald.bartisch **Website**: https://www.bbasci.com ⏰**May 10, 2026 (Sunday), 1.5 Hour** 5:00 PM GMT+8 China/Indo/PH 7:00 PM GMT+10 Australia 5:00 AM GMT-4 New York 11:00 AM GMT+2 Barcelona 📌For first-time attendees please scan the QR code on the flyer or click the following link to register and become part of our enriching live discussion, all at no cost: https://adriancahill.agilecrm.com/forms/6002900926529536 📌Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/86301571361 Log-in: 86301571361 Password: #motivate 🔗 Secure your spot and register now!

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
