Your survival depends on knowing who you can rely on. But how can you tell who your real friends are? How can you determine if a person will help make a joint venture successful? Is there a way to predict behavior? Yes. There are fundamental elements to human behavior. When you know them you have insight into your fellow man, and just by observing how people act, you will know *everything* about them. #### On this lecture you will learn: * The important role of trust in human relationships. * The Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation—the tool to know true character and predict what people will do. * How to evaluate others accurately and guarantee a more certain future for yourself and those you care about. With the knowledge you learn on this course, you will have tools to know who you can trust and who you can depend on. *“Trustworthiness is a highly esteemed commodity. When one has it, one is considered valuable. When one has lost it, one may be considered worthless.”* *—L. Ron Hubbard*

🌿 Walk with Confidence: Women’s Self-Confidence & Presence Workshop 🗓 **Date:** Saturday, 11 April ⏰ **Time**: 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM 📍 **Location**: The Brick at Steps Studios - Shorteditch 90 Hanbury Street, London, E1 5JL (Nearest stations: [Aldgate East Station]() / [Shoreditch High Street Station]()) 💷 **Fee:** £5.50 per person ONLY you can make the payment here: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/246V695LH8DVG Any other questions just let us know ⸻ ✨ What this session is about Confidence isn’t just something you feel—it’s something people can see the moment you walk into a space. In this workshop, we focus on building confidence from the inside out, starting with something simple but powerful: the way you walk, carry yourself, and express your energy. The way you move through the world can influence how others see you—and more importantly, how safe, grounded, and confident you feel in yourself. This is a beginner-friendly, supportive session designed to help you reconnect with your natural presence and strength. ⸻ 🌸 What you’ll learn • How to walk with calm, grounded confidence • How posture and body language shape first impressions • How to express presence, boundaries, and self-assurance • How small physical changes can shift your internal confidence We’ll also gently touch on awareness and presence in public spaces—helping you feel more in control and at ease in everyday life. ⸻ 🌿 What we’ll do together This is not just a talk—it’s an interactive, experience-based session. We’ll explore: • Self-connection reflection A simple guided moment to ask yourself: “What is something I truly love about myself?” (No pressure to share—just for you.) • Body language awareness game A light and fun activity where we guess emotions from posture and movement—helping you understand how confidence is communicated without words. • Optional sharing circle A relaxed space where participants can share thoughts or experiences around confidence—listening is just as valuable as speaking. • Optional appreciation moment If the group feels comfortable, we may include a short moment where participants offer a genuine, strength-based compliment to someone else. (Always optional, based on group comfort.) ⸻ 👗 What to wear Wear something that makes you feel: • Comfortable • Confident • Like yourself Please wear shoes you normally wear in your daily life (trainers, flats, etc.). This session is about real-life confidence, not performance—so no need for heels unless that’s your everyday style. ⸻ 💬 Who this is for • Women who want to feel more confident in daily life • Anyone who wants to improve presence, posture, and energy • Beginners—no experience needed ⸻ 🌷 A gentle note This is a supportive, relaxed, and non-judgmental space. You’re welcome to come alone or bring a friend. 📸 By attending our event, you agree that you may be filmed or photographed and that we have the right to use these images or videos on our social media platforms. ⸻ 🤍 Join us Take a small step toward a more confident version of yourself—starting from how you move through the world.

**📢 Date Change: Sunday, April 12th. Apologies for any inconvenience.** 📚 **In our next Book Club, we ask: Is there a King (or Queen) inside all of us?** We are discussing the concepts of **Archetypal Energy**—universal personality patterns found in Jungian psychology. Our guide for the discussion is “King, Warrior, Magician, Lover” by Moore and Gillette. Don't let the title fool you; while the book focuses on men, we will be debating whether these structures (and their feminine counterparts) are universal to everyone. **Are archetypes a biological reality for both genders?** **POTENTIAL DISCUSSION POINTS:** * **Are personalities hard-wired?** Jung suggests we are born with deep-seated instincts like the "King" (Order) or "Lover" (Connection). Do you feel these forces exist inside you, or are they just made-up metaphors? * **Are these energies gender-specific?** While the book focuses on men, many argue there is a mirrored "feminine" quadrant: **Queen, Mother, Wise Woman, and Lover**. Is this symmetry real, or does the female psyche require a totally different map (like Toni Wolff's Mother, Amazon, Medium, & Hetaira)? * **Is "Boy Psychology" to blame for toxic behavior?** The authors argue society is full of adults acting like children because we lack "initiation" into adulthood. Does this explain modern "toxic masculinity," and is there a roadmap to fix it? * **Have you met the "Shadow" forms?** The book argues that when these energies are unbalanced, they turn dark (e.g., the King becomes a Tyrant). Have you seen these shadow behaviors in your boss, your partner, or even yourself? \-\-\-\-\- **Prior to meeting, please read/engage in the summaries of the book to ensure a fruitful discussion:** **Buy the book** “King, Warrior, Magician, Lover” by Moore and Gillette - https://www.amazon.co.uk/King-Warrior-Magician-Lover-Rediscovering/dp/0062506064 **Read or Listen for Free:** * **Download the PDF:** https://pdfroom.com/books/king-warrior-magician-lover-rediscovering-the-archetypes-of-the-mature-masculine/Y6R2XwP2gZ3 * **Listen to the Audiobook (YouTube):** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKwwHPV9IyA **Watch some of the online content about the books:** There are several great video summaries on YouTube to get up to speed quickly: * **The 4 Archetypes of the Mature Masculine (Animated Summary):** * **King, Warrior, Magician, Lover (Deep Dive):** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmS4bGb3bAE **GROUND RULES:** This is a nice gentle, but thought-provoking, discussion.

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
