Career Coaching

Helloo to all lovers of randomness and awkward moments! Come hang out with us for a night that’s a little silly, a little chaotic, but a lot of fun. PPT Karaoke is simple: you present a deck of random slides you’ve never seen before. You’ll be figuring it out as you go—and that’s exactly the point. No prep, no pressure, and definitely no boring quarterly charts. It’s a great way to try something new, laugh at yourself a bit, and maybe get a little more comfortable speaking in front of people. You can present… or not. Sign up if you’re feeling brave, or just grab a drink and enjoy the chaos from the audience. **What it is like** * People making things up on the spot * Moments that are unexpectedly funny (or *weirdly brilliant*) * A relaxed, supportive crowd that’s laughing with you **How it works** * We write your name at the entrance if you want to present * We draw random names to choose a presenter during the event * Get a completely random slide deck * Go for it—funny, serious, or totally nonsensical **Why You Should Come** * Try something new without pressure * Laugh a lot (at yourself and with others) * Take a break from taking things too seriously * Meet nice, low-key people who also have no idea what’s on Slide 4. * Experience Level: **None**. Really. If you can point at a screen and say words, you’re overqualified. **The vibe** Warm, welcoming, and zero judgment. We’re all just figuring it out together. If this sounds like your kind of fun, come join us 🙂 Spots are limited at the place—First-come, first-served!

Wir Frauen blicken oft mit einem sehr kritischen Auge auf unseren Körper. Diese Einstellung entsteht selten aus uns selbst heraus; sie wird uns oft schon früh von unserem Umfeld oder der Gesellschaft vermittelt. Botschaften darüber, dass wir von einigem „zu wenig“ und von anderem „zu viel“ hätten, begleiten uns stetig. Das erzeugt einen enormen Druck, den eigenen Körper zu verändern oder zu „optimieren“, weil der Körper irgendwie ja nicht (gut) genug ist. Und dadurch sind vielleicht auch wir, als Personen, nicht gut genug? An diesem Abend möchten wir dir den Raum geben, ganz ehrlich mit uns zu teilen, wie dein aktuelles Verhältnis zu deinem Körper aussieht. Du kannst dich dabei auch z.B. an folgende Fragen orientieren: * Wie zufrieden bist du mit deinem Körper? * Was tust du für deinen Körper? * Aus welcher Motivation tust du etwas für deinen Körper? * Inwiefern sind dein Körper und dein Bild von dir selbst als Person miteinander verknüpft? * Welche wichtigen Aspekte hat dein Körper für dich, außer dem Erscheinungsbild? * Was ermöglicht dir dein Körper und wofür bist du ihm dankbar? * Wie gehst du damit um, wenn dein Körper (z.B. durch Krankheit) in seiner Funktionalität eingeschränkt wird? **Ablauf**: Im Herzen der Treffen steht das Sharing: du hast die Möglichkeit, so tief in das jeweilige Thema einzutauchen und von dir zu erzählen, wie du es wünschst. Im Anschluss kannst du entscheiden, ob du von den anderen Frauen Rückmeldungen und Reaktionen erhalten möchtest. Die Gruppe findet in einem kleinen Kreis mit maximal **6 Teilnehmerinnen** statt. **Ort**: ca. 2 Minuten entfernt vom **U-Bhf Deutsche Oper**. Den genauen Ort teile ich dir in einer Bestätigungsnachricht mit! **Gebühr**: **12€** **Anmeldung**: dein Platz wird reserviert, sobald die 12€ bei mir eingegangen sind. Zahlung ist entweder per **PayPal** unter **r.juhasz@freemail.hu** oder **Überweisung** möglich. Falls du die Überweisung getätigt hast, aber keine Sofortüberweisung nutzst, schreib mir bitte kurz eine Mail. Dann reserviere ich dir den Platz schon mal vorab. Schreib mich auch kurz an, wenn du die Bankdaten noch nicht hast oder wenn du einfach Fragen hast: p.ritajuhasz@gmail.com. **Stornierungsfrist**: bis 48 Stunden vorher, ansonsten kann ich die 12€ nur dann zurückzahlen, wenn der Platz belegt werden kann. Ich freue mich sehr auf dich! Rita

**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.

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**).

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. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

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.
