Dublin Debaters is back on Tuesday, 18th February, and this time we’re doing things a little differently. Join us for a *Funny Story Night*, where members and guests will take the floor to share their most humorous, awkward, and downright entertaining true stories. Before the stories begin, we’ll warm things up with Table Topics short, fun questions thrown out to the room to get everyone talking and help build confidence in public speaking in a relaxed, supportive setting. Whether you want to tell a story or simply sit back and enjoy the fun, everyone is very welcome. Expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, plenty of chuckles , and a great chance to meet new people. Come along, bring a friend, and enjoy some much needed laughs on a dreary February night. Attendance €3 at door (Cash)

## 🔓 **UNLOCK THE POWER OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION** 🗣️✨ > *“I know what I should say, but it doesn't come out right.”* > *“I want to fix my relationship, but I don't know where to start.”* > *“When the time comes, I don't know what to say.”* > *“I have so many ideas, but I'm too afraid to share them.”* 😔💭 In every aspect of life—whether in **relationships**, **family dynamics**, **business**, or **the workplace**—**communication is the key 🔑**. Without it, progress is impossible. But with **effective communication**, the doors to success swing wide open 🚪✨ Learn the **secrets of how to communicate to anyone, anywhere**—whether you’re speaking to a small group 👥, addressing a large audience 🎤, or having a one-on-one conversation 🤝. ## 🌟 **THE POWER OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION** 🌟 Poor communication is often overlooked as the root of problems in **relationships**, **confidence**, and **work ability**. In this workshop, we’ll cover **the formula of communication** 🧭 and how to use it to **improve every aspect of your life**. ✅ Effective communication can handle: * 🤐 Shyness and introversion * 🤝 Business relationships and efficiency * 💑 Marriages and romantic relationships * 💪 Self-confidence and self-esteem * 🗨️ Everyday interactions This is not just a lecture where you sit quietly and listen 👂— It’s **interactive and LIVE** 🎯 so you can ask questions at any time and **start practicing your newfound skills right away**! 🚀 ✨ **And the most important topic:** 🗣️ *How to Communicate Effectively to Anyone* ### 📅 **18 February 2026 – 7:00 PM**📍 Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin, Firhouse Road, Dublin D24 CX39 🥤 Complimentary refreshments will be served ⚡ **Reserve your spot today!** Places are limited—sign up well in advance! 📝✨ I am looking forward to seeing you there! **Erik Smit** Dianetics & Scientology Life Coach

**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic** This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there. On the day, we’ll: * Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep * Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally * **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices * Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food * Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea: * The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin * What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome. Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key. This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. This is a **curated in-person meetup** for growth-minded professionals and founders who value **focus, depth, and action** over noise and small talk. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **private room inside a bar** — not in the middle of a loud crowd, not at shared tables, and not competing with background music. This space is intentionally chosen so that: * conversations can go deep * you can actually hear and think * your time feels **protected**, not diluted This is not a “drop-by networking event.” It’s a **deliberate environment for clarity, motivation, and execution**. ### **What makes this different** People often say: * “I hate loud bars where you can’t talk properly” * “I don’t want to pitch or be pitched” * “I don’t want to waste another evening with nice conversations and no outcome” This meetup is designed to avoid exactly that. Here, you: * come with clear goals * leave with concrete next steps * meet people who are **already taking action** ### **Why this is paid (€9.99)** The fee is not about exclusivity for its own sake. It’s about **commitment and quality**. Free meetups often lead to: * last-minute no-shows * people who just want to “see what it’s about” * shallow networking without contribution The small fee ensures: * people show up intentionally * everyone respects the space and each other * the room stays focused and valuable You’re not paying for access. You’re paying for a **high-quality room and high-quality people**. ### **Who this is for** ✔ Professionals, founders, freelancers ✔ People actively working on something ✔ Those who prefer **investing time** over spending it ### **Curation & Selection** To protect the group’s quality, **attendance is curated**. I personally review applications. **Quality over quantity — always.**

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. The Growth Circle is an **exclusive, in-person gathering** for professionals who are done with loud bars, random networking, and unstructured meetups. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **dedicated private room in a bar** — intentionally separated from the public area. This means: * no background noise * no interruptions * no competing conversations Just a room designed for **real focus and meaningful exchange**. ### **What this is (and what it isn’t)** This is: * a space to reflect, reset, and refocus * a room where action matters more than titles * a community built around **doing**, not talking This is not: * a casual after-work hangout * a place to collect contacts * a “free inspiration” event ### **Why there’s a €9.99 fee** Most people don’t mind paying — they mind paying for the **wrong experience**. This fee exists to prevent: * uncommitted drop-ins * people who just want to network without contributing * wasted time and low-energy rooms The result: * everyone arrives prepared * conversations stay intentional * the experience stays worth coming back to ### **Who this circle is for** ✔ Growth-minded professionals & founders ✔ People who respect their own time ✔ Those who want to leave feeling clearer than they arrived ### **Selection & Quality Control** Places are limited and **personally selected**. Not everyone will be accepted — and that’s intentional. The goal is a room where **every person adds value**.
