Career Coaching

**This event is taking place online.** You have probably tried AI. Maybe you use it quietly. Maybe you opened it, stared at the blank prompt, and closed the tab. Maybe you are not sure where to start, or why it still feels harder than it should. Welcome to our community! 17:00 — An intro: Why are we here? 17:15 — What research and data shows us about how AI impacts work 17:30 — Where are you right now, what have you tried, what is in your way? 17:45 — What comes next: shaping the next session together This is the first meetup in a series. We will learn from each other, explore AI at work, and eventually dive into the tools together — because the best way to loosen the fear is to do it in good company.

Liebe Deutschlernende, Das nächste Sprachcafé findet am **05.06.** von **15:30 bis 17 Uhr statt.** Das Thema: Künstliche Intelligenz Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Hello! We are organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 🌟 This week's special: Get your chores done! Fill out those Finanzamt forms, setup your broker accounts or finally get dental insurance. Any other work is welcome too, of course 😉 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

Wir setzen uns in einen entspannten Trance-Zustand und reisen zur gewünschten Transformation/Veränderung des eigenen Lebens. Dabei aktivieren wir die Ressourcen/Kräfte/Stärken, die dafür gebraucht werden, und die schon längst da sind: "Die Ressourcen, die du brauchst, findest du in deiner eigenen Geschichte" - Milton Erickson, der Vater der modernen Hypno-Therapie. Ich bin zertifizierte systemische Life & Business Coachin und arbeite u.a. mit dem Milton-Modell, um in einer Fantasiereise die Aufmerksamkeit nach Innen zu richten und den Zielzustand mit allen Sinnen zu erleben. Diese Form des Hypno-Coachings hilft durch unterstützte Aufmerksamkeitsfokussierung, sich in körperlich und geistig entspannte Zustände zu begeben. Je nach Tiefe der Entspannung kann man in Trance kommen. Trance ist ein ganz natürlicher Zustand (z.B. wenn man dieselbe Strecke wie im Auto-Pilot-Modus fährt) und ruft gut erforschte physiologische Veränderungen hervor wie Muskelentspannung, langsames Atmen, Abnehmen der Stresshormone. Gewünschte Zielzustände können in Trance intensiver erlebt und für positive Veränderungen nutzbar gemacht werden. **Ablauf:** \- 10 Min: Wir machen es uns auf den Matten gemütlich und machen eine kurze Runde \(wer mag\) "Wer bist du? Was möchtest du erreichen?" \- 20 Min: Wir legen uns bequem hin\. Ich führe mit anleitenden Worten durch eine Meditation hin zu einem angenehmen Trance\-Zustand\. \- 15 Min: Im Anschluss geht jede:r für sich in den Transfer "Was wäre ein guter nächster Schritt\, um dem erlebten Ziel näher zu kommen?" **Prinzipien:** \- Jede:r teilt nur das\, was er/sie möchte\. Niemand muss was sagen\. \- Der Raum ist geschützt\. Alles Geteilte bleibt im Raum\. **Mitbringen:** \- Stift \+ Zettel zum Notieren von Gedanken/Ideen/Erfahrungen **Mehr Infos zu mir:** [https://dr-anne-losert.de/](https://dr-anne-losert.de/)

Wir haben uns entschieden den Workshop, der kommenden Sonntag stattfindet, auf deutsch zu halten: 🔥 From BREAKUP to BREAKTHROUGH: Von Trennung zu Durchbruch 🔥 Denkst du noch an deine:n Ex‑Partner:in? Verlierst du dich in Gedanken daran, wie es hätte sein können – oder vielleicht noch sein könnte, wenn du oder die andere Person anders wären? Obwohl die Beziehung vorbei ist, fließt weiterhin Energie dorthin: durch Hoffen, Grübeln, Ärger, Groll oder Bewertungen. Fühlt sich das Loslassen wie ein endloser Prozess an? Oder steckst du in einer „Situationship“, die sich nicht wirklich bewegt? Wir kennen das. Und es hat uns viel Lebensenergie, Zeit und Klarheit gekostet – und auch andere Beziehungen beeinflusst. Deshalb öffnen wir einen Raum für Frauen\*, die in ihren Beziehungen eine echte Vollendung machen wollen – durch Schatten- und Wutarbeit. Das ist ein radikal verantwortungsvoller Raum. Wenn du nicht bereit bist, deinen eigenen Anteil anzuerkennen, ist dieser Workshop nicht für dich. Es ist ein tiefgehender, transformierender Raum, um abzuschließen, was zur Vergangenheit gehört – und alte Emotionen und Energien zu klären, die dir heute noch Lebenskraft entziehen. Hol dir deine Autorität zurück. Nimm deinen Raum ein. Gewinne deine Freiheit zurück. Bist du bereit, keine Aufmerksamkeit mehr einer toten Beziehung zu schenken? Bist du bereit, loszulassen und die Lektionen zu vollenden? Dann sei dabei und erlebe deinen Durchbruch. Mit Liebe und Wut, Johanna & Thea Sonntag\, 7\. Juni 2026 \| 14:00–18:00 Uhr Beitrag: 65–100 EUR (nach Selbsteinschätzung) Ort: Berlin, Neukölln (Adresse nach Anmeldung)

ENGLISH: **INNER GUIDANCE** **A Transformative Movement Workshop** **for all beautiful women / sisters** **Grow · Unfold · Integrate** The Inner GUIDANCE Workshop is an embodied journey into your inner knowing, wisdom, and clarity. Through free-form movement, dance, and gently guided impulses and intention-setting, you are invited to reconnect with your body as a source of guidance, truth, and trust. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we move to alchemize inner obstacles, awaken joy in the body, express a freer, new version of ourselves, and return to our inner center. Gratitude becomes a shared practice, raising our frequency, cultivating unity within ourselves and with others, and opening us to authentic human connection—expressed through the language of our moving bodies and hearts. This workshop creates space to listen deeply to your inner knowing via the body in movement. You will be supported to just be you in the present moment, allowing and discovering change, strengthening self-trust. Besides dancing mostly for yourself there will be also some partner and group invitations in movement which you can join or not and some physical touch involved, of course all volunteerly. We will end with an relaxing integration time and little sound bath. No prior dance experience is required. There is no right or wrong way to move—only the willingness to connect with your inner compass: your body. Move towards your true self, guided from within. Come just as you are and wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. **Energy exchange:** 20 Euro (normal), 15 Euro (reduced) The session may be held in German and/or English, depending on the needs of the participants. **Please register due limited spaces via email, PM, Meet Up message latest till Friday 05.06.2026:** EMAIL: soulbalance@mail.de I look forward to holding space for you. With love Mira (Certified Transformative Dance Facilitator & Integrative Dance Educator) *Note: This workshop is not therapeutic; your well-being remains your own responsibility. However, it may have therapeutic effects.* DEUTSCH: **INNER GUIDANCE** **Ein transformativer Bewegungs-Workshop** **für Frauen / Schwestern** **Grow - Unfold ·- Integrate** Der Inner GUIDANCE Workshop ist eine verkörperte Reise zu deinem inneren Wissen, deiner Klarheit und Intuition. Durch freie Bewegung, Tanz und sanft angeleitete Impulse verbindest du dich wieder mit deinem Körper als Quelle von Führung, Vertrauen und Wahrheit. In einem wertfreien und unterstützenden Raum bewegen wir uns, um innere Blockaden zu wandeln, Freude im Körper zu aktivieren und eine neue, freiere Version von uns selbst auszudrücken – und in unsere innere Mitte zurückzukehren. Dankbarkeit begleitet uns dabei als Praxis, um unsere Schwingung zu erhöhen und echte Verbindung mit uns selbst und anderen über dem Körper und unserem Herzen zu erleben. Dieser Workshop schafft Raum, um über den sich bewegenden Körper tiefer auf deine innere Weisheit zu hören. Du wirst darin unterstützt, einfach du selbst im gegenwärtigen Moment zu sein, Veränderung zuzulassen und zu entdecken sowie dein Vertrauen in dich selbst zu stärken. Neben dem Tanzen für dich selbst wird es auch Einladungen zu Partner- und Gruppenübungen in Bewegung geben, an denen du teilnehmen kannst oder nicht. Dabei kann es auch zu körperlicher Berührung kommen – selbstverständlich alles freiwillig. Zum Abschluss gibt es eine entspannende Integrationszeit und ein kleines Sound Bath. \- Keine Tanzerfahrung nötig\. \- Kein Richtig oder Falsch\. \- Nur du\, dein Körper und dein innerer Kompass\. \- Bewege dich auf dein wahres Selbst zu – geführt von innen\. Komm einfach so, wie du bist, und bring bequeme Kleidung mit, in der du dich gut bewegen kannst. Die Session kann auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch gehalten werden, je nach den Bedürfnissen der Movers. **Energieausgleich**: 20 Euro (normal), 15 Euro (reduziert) **Bitte registriere dich bis Freitag 05.06. per PM, Meet up Nachricht oder Emai**l (soulbalance@mail.de) Ich freue mich darauf, Raum für euch zu halten.

Dennoch kann er eine therapeutische Wirkung haben.*

**NVC & BOUNDRIES** ***Weekend Workshop*** What a delicate human moment it is — the one in which someone says or receives a “no.” “Can we make love?” — No. “Would you like to go for a coffee with me?” — No. “Would you like to work together?” — No. It takes such vulnerability to voice a request — to courageously share your heart and its dreams. And it takes just as much courage to stay true to yourself, not to please the other at the cost of your own authenticity. So often we end up saying *yes* when we actually mean *no* — because we’re afraid of losing connection, or because “it’s the right thing to do.” This weekend is an exploration of those delicate moments — their depth, their vulnerability, and the dynamics they reveal.We’ll begin by discovering our own boundaries and what truly matters to us, since so much confusion and pain arise when we don’t even know where our boundaries are. We’ll learn to say *no* in a way that is authentic, safe, and connecting. We’ll learn how to receive a *no* without betraying the vulnerability that comes with it. We’ll learn how to transform the moment of giving or receiving a *no* from a wall into the beginning of a meaningful dialogue — one where *you can be you, and I can be me*, together. “Words are windows, or they’re walls.” — *Marshall Rosenberg* **Teaching Style** Expect minimum 50-70% practice and exercises, demonstrations and other interactive ways to engage, and the rest it’s gonna be theory. **When?** 6 -7 June 2026 Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 - 17:30 **Daily schedule:** **Saturday** Arrival: From 9:30 Morning Workshop / Practice space: 10-13 Lunch: 13 - 14:15 Afternoon Workshop / Practice space: 14:15 - 17:30 **Sunday** Arrival: From 9:30 Morning Workshop / Practice space: 10-13 Lunch: 13 - 14:15 Afternoon Workshop / Practice space: 14:15 - 16:00 Financial Co-Responsibility Circle: 16:15 - 17:30 Goodbyes: Until 18:30 We’ll have organic breaks to support us through the schedule. **Where?** Braschzeile 12-14, 14109 Berlin (Wannsee). For this 2 days workshop, we’ll be able to gather in the privacy and calmness of a house in Wannsee. A large garden with solemn old trees offers the grounding and space needed to gently move into the vulnerability to meet ourselves and each other at our boundaries and in the pain of where they’ve been crossed. *It’s possible to sleep on site for a limited amount of people, priority it’s given to who comes from out of town.* **Experience**: No previous experience it’s required, everyone is welcome. The exercises will allow deepening the NVC practice even when you already have experience with it. **Who is this for?** Space is limited to a group of 14 people. As we want to create a safe container to also explore our hurting parts, we would prefer people to join for the full weekend flow. If you can’t join the whole thing contact us and we’ll see if it’s fitting for you to join only one day or a part of the workshop. **Price?** This event is neither charged, nor free. We’re intending to create/ to play with a conscious systems-based approach to money and how it flows in between humans. We want resources to flow towards serving & nourishing life. As we are co-creating learning, developmental and healing spaces we want to care for what’s needed for people to attend as well as for what’s needed so that we can continue to co-create such spaces. That’s why we’ll offer two systems of distributing (monetary) resources in between the people present in an attempt to make this event financially sustainable for everyone. **About the food** Lunches will be prepared in advance, let us know of any special food allergies **Register** To register, please fill [this form](https://forms.gle/2Dwkhm9JfM2WEPKv6). **YOUR FACILITATORS** **Martina Pesce** Hi, I'm Martina. I came in contact with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through a relationship where I started to grasp the beauty of this tool. After 3 years of self-study and occasional practice, I was touched by how this communication allowed me to connect with my mum in conflict, so strongly that I felt love for her for the first time in 20 years. Unsatisfied with the lack of mental health support in the neuroscience research field, I decided to switch careers and dive deep into NVC. I trained as a mediator, counsellor and trainer at the Connecting2life school (Yoram Mosenzon). It was a two-year-long process of embodying the tool and then learning how to transmit it so that it could sink in the body. For a year I've been holding my workshops, courses and 1:1 practice. My approach is based on practice and embodiment. I found NVC very revolutionary and with that respect, I like to let sink in our system a few bits of info at the time, rather than an overwhelming waterfall of theory. **Matthias Flury** Hi. My name is Matthias. To be honest with you, I’m incredibly hesitant to write this short biography about myself. Part of the resistance comes from a fear of not being enough - it’s an insecurity that often comes alive since for many years of my life my need for connection wasn’t met, no matter what I tried. Out of this experience I’m shy to show and present myself, even to an unknown reader, to not go through the pain of rejection again. Another source for this hesitation is that I’ve got an idea of how I need to present myself here as a teacher. “I need to sell myself well and in a way that will make you trust me and curious to learn from me”. And I’m worried that I’ll try to perform as something I’m not in order to achieve that. Underneath the pressure of trying to be perfect I’m certain I’ll lose something incredibly important. I’ll lose connection to myself and with that any hope of actually contributing value to you. That’s why I’ll start this introduction of myself like this. I’m looking forward to meeting you and exploring together how we can connect to our feelings and unknown desires. How we can hold space and lovingly meet each other exactly where we are in our authentic selves. This is the place where relationships gain intimacy and depth, where love grows and where life begins to make sense. Just in case you actually want to know about my background: I started learning about NVC in 2019, took my first lessons with Empathie Stadt Zurich in 2020, and completed my education in 2023 with a course about teaching and embodying NVC by CNVC-Trainer Yoram Mosenzon. I regularly support NVC-teachers as an assistant in their courses and occasionally teach myself. If you have any questions you can reach me at [matthias.flury@mail.ch](mailto:matthias.flury@mail.ch).

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.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
