Vision Board Workshop: Craft Your Future with Intention
**Vision Board Workshop: Craft Your Future with Intention**
*What if you could map out the future you truly want, not with a spreadsheet, but with a tool backed by neuroscience?*
Join us for this Vision Board Workshop, an intimate, hands-on session where you'll go beyond vague resolutions and build a powerful visual roadmap for your life and career.
A vision board isn't wishful thinking. It's a planning instrument that combines strategic thinking with neuroplasticity, engaging your brain's visual centers to drive real motivation and action.
This workshop is led by Mariana Lira, a business consultant with over 10 years of experience building and scaling companies. She is also the co-founder of Hall Partners, a property management company. With degrees in both Business Administration and Design, Mariana helps entrepreneurs and professionals bridge the gap between vision and execution, and she'll guide you through a process that turns abstract aspirations into a clear, actionable roadmap.
**Here's how the evening will unfold:**
1. We'll start with a brief introduction to the theory behind planning, vision boards, and neuroplasticity — understanding why this works.
2. Then you'll move into a guided planning phase to define what truly matters to you.
3. Finally, you'll build your own vision board using magazines, printed images, and a canvas provided for each participant.
You'll walk away with a finished vision board, greater clarity on the future you want to build, and a practical understanding of how visual planning fuels intentional action.
With only 6 spots available, this is a focused, high-quality experience designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone ready to plan their next chapter with purpose.
📅 April 18, 2026 · 10AM – 13PM
🗣️ English
👥 6 spots (intimate group)
💰 90€ (canvas and materials included)

Approach anyone, anywhere
Do you ever regret not approaching someone?
It feels like being stuck, but you don't get there by
watching more videos on IG of people approaching women.
You get there by doing it yourself.
Imagine being able to approach anyone anywhere.
The freedom. Confidence. And the amazing feeling of knowing that you won't have to stay single or settle, because when the opportunity arise, you know you can take it.
But it's hard to do by yourself. It takes time, effort and that extra push might be too difficult for you right now.
That's why, this Saturday, I'm going to help you.
We'll meet in the middle of Plaça de Catalunya (in the circle) at 15:00 and for two hours, I'll help you overcome your fears, anxiety and whatever thoughts that used to hold you back.
This is maybe a once in a life opportunity for you if you want to finally be able to walk up to anyone and start a conversation.
Any questions, just write me here on WhatsApp (+47 47311664).
Conferencia 🎯 Encuentra tu Propósito
**Conferencia 🎯 Encuentra tu Propósito**
**Claves para dar dirección a tu vida**
El propósito no es solo una idea inspiradora ni una meta que se impone desde fuera: es una dirección que emerge cuando comprendes quién eres, qué valoras y hacia dónde quieres ir.
En esta conferencia combinaremos una mirada profunda de autoconocimiento con un enfoque práctico de desarrollo personal, para ayudarte a dar claridad y sentido a tu vida, tanto a nivel personal como profesional.
Exploraremos el propósito desde una doble perspectiva:
por un lado, como algo que se descubre al mirar hacia dentro;
y por otro, como algo que se construye a través de decisiones, acción y compromiso.
Durante la sesión trabajaremos:
✅ Qué es realmente el propósito — y cómo descubrirlo y definirlo
✅ Misión, visión y valores personales — la base de una vida coherente
✅ El enfoque IKIGAI — alineando lo que amas, en lo que eres bueno, lo que el mundo necesita y lo que puede sostenerte
✅ Metas y objetivos con sentido — cómo definirlos desde tu identidad, no desde la presión externa
✅ Claves prácticas de autoconocimiento — preguntas y dinámicas para avanzar con claridad
✅ Herramientas de Coaching y PNL para orientar tu camino
Será un espacio para reflexionar, ordenar ideas y empezar a trazar una dirección más consciente y alineada contigo.
**Formato:** conferencia presencial
**Instructor**: Alejandro Alonso
**Linkedin**: [www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas](www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas)
👉 **Colaboración**: 5€ (Esta conferencia se impartirá dentro del espacio redConsciencia. Se pedirá una colaboración para la agrupación, en concepto de costes de sala y costes de organización)

Are you new in town and looking to meet people in a relaxed, welcoming way?
Join us at Nomad House for an easygoing afternoon designed to help newcomers connect, hang out, and feel at home — followed by an open deck to close the day.
[Sign up as a DJ for the open deck!](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4xV6kUN9ISBmfR5ZSDJp0mRqKZLQ_zs1-wQzAbqVy6jIw5Q/viewform?usp=header)
At the meetup you can meet other people who are also new to the city (or just open to meeting new faces). No pressure, no formal networking — just good conversations in a cozy space.
As the night progresses, we’ll smoothly transition into more and more of an open deck session, where any DJ can play music and keep the vibe going into the afternoon.
This event is perfect if you:
• Just moved to the city
• Want to meet people in a low-key, friendly setting
• Enjoy music, community vibes, or just feel like dancing
• Are curious about the BENE-FIT community
Location: Nomad House
Music: Open Deck
First time attending?
This event is very first-timer friendly. Many people come alone, and there’s no expectation to “network,” pitch, or know anyone beforehand. You can join conversations at your own pace, grab a seat, and simply enjoy the atmosphere.
***Español***

En el meetup podrás conocer a otras personas que también son nuevas en la ciudad (o simplemente abiertas a conocer caras nuevas). Sin presión, sin networking formal, solo buenas conversaciones en un espacio acogedor.

**Lachandra Baker** Founder of LBB Edutainment and the kind of person who makes you realize you’ve been confusing confidence with performance your whole life. Lachandra blends psychology, research, and radical humanity to help individuals and teams stop code-switching their way through the day and start showing up as someone they actually recognize. Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath.
**Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there.
**Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab.
**Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow.
**Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes.
**Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it.
