The event is free, but **prior registration is required -** [Mindset to Move - Growth, vulnerability, and the courage to change. · Luma](https://luma.com/4uo58izw) Growth rarely happens while staying in our comfort zone. In this inspiring session, Temenuzhka Zlateva will share her personal and professional journey from Development to VP Operations and the mindset shifts that helped her navigate change, embrace uncertainty, and continue growing along the way. ​Through real experiences and practical insights, the session will explore how growth, vulnerability, and the courage to move forward are deeply connected. From taking small steps without always knowing the full path ahead, to understanding why saying “I don’t know” is not a weakness, this talk is about building the confidence to keep evolving. ​We’ll also dive into the power of transferable skills, visibility, curiosity, and asking questions and how the lessons we gain professionally often help us grow personally as well. ​**What to expect:** * ​Lessons from a career journey across different roles and functions * ​Why growth starts outside the comfort zone * ​The importance of visibility, curiosity, and vulnerability * ​How transferable skills shape both career and personal development * ​A practical perspective on embracing change and continuous growth ​This is a session about developing a **mindset to move -** because growth is not about having all the answers, but about having the courage to take the next step.

🦞 Cogito Ergo Creo 🦞 Third gathering of OpenClaw Bulgaria. This time — Demo Day. Less talk, more show. We're opening the floor to the community: bring what you've built, plug in, and walk us through it. Agents, local LLM setups, side projects, half-broken experiments — all welcome. The point isn't polish. The point is to see what people are actually making. 🎤 Demos — 5–10 minutes each. Show the thing, tell us what's working, what isn't, what you'd build next. 💬 Q&A — Real questions from a room of builders. 🔥 Open floor — Stick around, swap notes, find collaborators. Want to demo? Please register your presentation at https://openclaw.bg/events/ — or ping us on Discord so we can sketch out a running order. Who is this for? Developers, makers, entrepreneurs, and the simply curious. Whether you're shipping in production or just got something running for the first time — if you're building, you belong here. Language: English + Bulgarian — whatever flows naturally. 📍 Location: SOHO — HOLISTIC Room, 4 Iskar Street, Sofia 1000 (near Serdika metro) 🕐 Start: 17:00 🌐 www.openclaw.bg 💬 discord.gg/qu4gusnZd3 Recurring meetup — every first Thursday of the month (moved this month).

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. 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! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
