SELF-CONFIDENCE! The key to your SUCCESS Free Class!
**Gain The Confidence to Be Unstoppable! Free Class.**
How to Achieve Self Confidence!
Without question, self confidence is the key to success. It determines how many of your goals you achieve in life and has an enormous impact on your happiness. It affects how people perceive you, your career achievements, your ability to take risks or try new endeavours, as well as your overall attitude toward yourself and others.
Self Confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get.
Did you ever feel more certain of yourself in the past?
Would you like to raise your self confidence ?
To increase self confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self esteem.
Self Confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. - L. Ron Hubbard.
This day you are able to Learn:
• The true source of security in life.
• How self-confidence, self respect and self trust interrelate, and what you can do to rehabilitate them.
• The exact steps to become more competent in whatever you do.
Today's free class will put you into a good position to help you achieve a new level of self-confidence, accomplish more, and progress towards a higher level of personal survival.

CREATING and IMPROVING ABILITY! Free Meetup!
Your ability to work and live with others is crucial to your survival.
To survive well one needs ability.
Today meetup topic: Creating and Improving Ability
And if you think you already have all the ability one needs to survive well then it is important for you to learn how to KEEP IT FROM GOING AWAY.
Attend our Free Meetup!
Definition for Ability: One's power to observe, to make decisions and to act.
A man is as free, as well-off, as he is able.
A family is as happy as it has ability.
A business is as well-off as it has able people in it.
A country is as well-off as it has able workers, foremen and executives.
At today's meetup learn what constitutes ability and more importantly how to develop and improve it so that it does not go away.
Fact's are that one's ability is never the same. It either goes up or it will go down.
Your natural as well as learned abilities are constantly subject to many of life's pressures.
One can therefore simply not rest on one's laurels regarding your current abilities and simply assume they will always be available for use.
The time to protect and enhance ability is when you are still able.
Any loss of ability will result in less confidence followed by problems resulting in unhappiness. This is called the dwindling spiral.
Not just for you, it will impact all others you associate with as well.
Today's topic applies to all aspects of life but will focus on how your abilities or lack of abilities or a sudden or gradual lowering of ability relates to work and family life.
On your arrival you will be asked to complete a Oxford Personality Test.
From this you will learn what ability it is that needs attention and improving.
Whilst at our meetup you will also learn about some of the different technologies are that you find here which actively create, protect or enhance ability in key areas of life.
The world cries out for better people (More Able People) that will lead happier life's with better better jobs, stronger families as well as community and businesses groups.
Get The Know-How for life, attend our meetup or ask me for a time that is better suited to your schedule.

Why it’s important to join meetups?
It’s in our DNA to connect with people. Let’s face it, we are social creatures and we need to be connected with one another. If you go back to our grandparents, they would be connected in a community (or village) and everyone would know each other.
Nowadays, we no longer live like this because there are big cities and we are continually moving fast, and disconnection has been widespread. This is why connection is important. We need to bring back connection.
As always, there will be us hosts to meet you and greet you. 👋
If you have any questions, feel free to inbox me me a direct message.✌🏽peace Kind regards, Abraham
The Six menu at the second last day of IDES.
Hi all,
Note: ensure to read the RSVP rules below on how to secure your spot for this event (Ides restaurant closing) after placing your name on the waitlist.
Some may have heard of the news that IDES’ last day is on the 14th March 2026 and the early session times were quickly taken on this day after their closure announcement. https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/food-and-drink/article/peter-gunn-to-close-ides-in-march, https://www.theage.com.au/goodfood/melbourne-eating-out/it-may-have-dropped-the-degustation-and-a-hat-but-this-fine-diner-is-still-a-winner-20260119-p5nv5k.html
I managed to reserve a table of 6 for The Six sample menu at 6:30pm, Friday 13th March 2026.
Those members who attended the farewell dinner at ides 2 years ago marking the founder’s (also group organizer) resignation from her Fine Diners group, would appreciate how nice Ides restaurant was/is. On this day the new organiser/s was/were also appointed for our group…the drum rolled and coronation was officially announced.
Anyways, back to the dinner at Ides-
Steps required to secure your seat to attend this event:
•Payment is required in order of RSVP. (Click on the waitlist to view the number in the queue next to your name)
•The first 6 members on the waitlist have 48 hours to make payment in full after placing your name on waitlist
•If payment is not made within this timeframe, you will have to give up your sport to the next member in line (eg member on queue number 7th) or you will be removed to "not going list" and if you wish to attend, feel free to re-place your name on the going list to re-queue
•Once payment is received I will move your name across to the going list.
•Cost of dinner:
The Six set menu and the Black Box is $188.70/person including card surcharge for food only. Drinks not included and can be purchased on the evening.
>>>>If you change your mind or cancel and are not attending in less than 48 hours' notice before the scheduled event or you are at risk of a cancellation fee of the full price of the reserved menu per person.
Time etiquette:
A strict 3-hour dining time has been allocated for us. Please arrive early or on time.
(I have reserved a table for 6 - please read the RSVP rules above to lock in your spot) (Most likely I won't be able to make it, but I will be meeting you there to finalise the bill for food that you paid me once everyone is arrived and seated. It’s similar to what I have done for the members for the Duck event at Aru last year
I hope you can make it.
Cheers,
LeAnn

Monthly Social in the Northern Suburbs - Moon Dog - Preston
Our monthly Northern social is held at Moon Dog World in Preston. Moon Dog World is a brewery, restaurant and bar with a lagoon, waterfall, hidden tiki bar and much more!
Atmosphere is on the family restaurant side (dogs and kids a plenty!) but still a fun tropical style environment. Food is better than standard pub fare with exotic flavours and generous serves.
Fun for pretty much everyone, so come along and enjoy it with us.
Do you live in the Northern or perhaps even the Western suburbs and are interested in catching-up with like minded people? Come along for dinner and meet some friendly people.
Our group is informal and open to all. We pay for own food and drinks individually and there is no charge for the organisation of the events. It is a great opportunity to meet others with an emphasis on fun and supporting each other.
So whether you choose to come at the start for dinner or later on for drinks, we hope to see you. If something comes up and you can no longer make it, then you can easy change your RSVP to not going.
I am looking forward to catching up with those who can make it,
Chris

How To Flow Through Group Conversations When You're Anxious
🌟 **How To** **Be A Social Butterfly And...**
### *Practice Group Conversations the Neurodivergent Way!!*
Do you ever watch people effortlessly move between groups at events and wonder how they do it?
Do you want to feel confident joining conversations, adding thoughtful insights, and creating real connection without forcing yourself to perform?
This session is a practice lab for learning how to navigate groups with awareness, curiosity, and genuine presence.
***
💬 **What This Session Is About**
In many social spaces the real skill is not talking more. The real skill is **listening deeply and adding value at the right moment**.
In this workshop we explore how to become the kind of person who can enter conversations naturally, understand what people are really talking about, and contribute something meaningful.
This workshop helps you practise:
• listening to the context of a conversation before speaking
• noticing what people might be missing, needing, or feeling
• adding thoughtful insight at the right moment
• asking powerful questions that deepen the discussion
• recognising whether a group needs ideas, empathy, energy, or curiosity
When you listen carefully enough, what you say can land in a way that makes people pause and think
"That was thoughtful. I never considered that before."
***
🧠 **The Real Secret of Working a Room**
Many people believe social success in groups comes from talking about themselves or trying to impress others.
In reality the opposite is true.
People remember the person who **added value** to the conversation.
Sometimes that value is an idea.
Sometimes it is a thoughtful question.
Sometimes it is simply recognising and validating the emotion behind what someone is sharing.
We will practise learning to notice:
• what people are talking about intellectually
• what emotions might be underneath the conversation
• when someone might need empathy and space
• when someone might want energetic discussion and ideas
Different groups need different things. The skill is learning to sense what will help the most.
***
🔄 **How the Session Runs**
The meetup is divided into two practical phases.
***\-\-\-\-\-\-First half: spontaneous mingling practice\-\-\-\-\-\-***
Participants will move between small groups and practise:
• listening in before speaking
• understanding the context of the discussion
• contributing thoughtfully at the right moment
• experimenting with adding value to different conversations
This is about observing group dynamics and learning what people might actually need in that moment.
***\-\-\-\-\-\-Second half: intentional group navigation\-\-\-\-\-\-***
In the second phase we practise approaching groups with intention.
You might enter a group with a simple internal goal such as:
• learning something about a topic
• contributing helpful insight
• building a meaningful connection
• supporting someone who seems unheard
But the key principle is this:
* **you pursue the goal by giving value rather than trying to take something.**
When people feel that you are trying to extract attention, approval, or connection, the interaction often feels draining.
When people feel that you are offering curiosity, attention, insight, or encouragement, the interaction becomes energising.
Your focus becomes listen carefully understand what might help and offer that freely without expecting anything in return.
***
🌱 **What You Will Practise**
• joining conversations in a natural, respectful way
• reading group dynamics and energy
• deciding when to contribute and when to listen
• asking questions that deepen discussion
• recognising when a group values empathy versus ideas
• moving between groups without feeling awkward
• adding genuine value to conversations
You will begin to notice that when you read people accurately and contribute something meaningful, their energy changes.
They lean in.
They become more animated.
They remember you.
Real connections start to form because **you helped bring the conversation to life.**
***
👋 **A Note From the Facilitator**
As an autistic and neurodivergent coach I once found group conversations extremely confusing.
Through years of practice in recruitment, interviewing, social events, friendships, and coaching, I realised that group interaction is not a personality trait.
It is a learnable skill.
This session is about experimenting, observing, and practising that skill together in a supportive environment.
Progress matters more than perfection.
If by the end of the evening you understand a little more about how to listen, add value, and navigate groups with confidence, that is a meaningful step forward.
***
📝 **Before and After**
You will be invited to optionally share:
• what feels hardest about group conversations
• what situations tend to overwhelm you socially
• what kind of interactions you would love to feel more confident in
At the end we will gather feedback so future sessions can evolve based on what participants actually find most helpful.
The goal is not to perform. The goal is to **learn how to bring energy, curiosity, and value into the spaces you enter.**
* ***And when you do that, people remember you for it.....***
***No more dead end numbers and contact cards....***
***Stoke real connection, with real skills and practice.***
Philosophy Roundtable: Can a secular society replace the functions of religion?
Please join us this Sunday as we discuss if a secular society can replace the functions of religion (or spirituality), and what this may mean for our lives. We will look at this at both the social and individual level.
**We will meet at the Queensberry Hotel, 593 Swanston Street, Carlton (100m north of previous location) at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp.**
**We kindly ask attendees to pay $5 to attend to help with MeetUp costs & venue costs. This is not mandatory, but if you are a regular member it would be appreciated. Any extra moneys will go towards buying food and drinks for the table. The venue also expects us to spend money as a group, so grateful if everyone could buy a drink from the venue.**
There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged.
Find below some questions to consider, however these are free-ranging events and the below serve as a springboard for the discussion:
**What might religion offer?**
\- Meaning and existential orientation
\- Moral formation
\- Community and belonging
\- Ritual and shared identity
\- Authority and moral limits
**Is religion needed?**
\- Are some countries \(perhaps Australia\, perhaps the Nordic countries\) doing well with a secular society?
\- Are they living off the moral inheritance of Christianity? If so\, how long will it last?
\- Do we create quasi\-religions instead\, such as nationalism?
\- If religion provides useful functions\, can we just replace them with something else?
\- Does this question look different elsewhere\, such as in East Asian societies\.
**Philosophers to draw upon**
\- religion as social glue \(Durkheim\, Tocqueville\, Haidt\)
\- religion as psychological response \(Hume\, James\)
\- religion as declining foundation of morality \(Nietzsche\, MacIntrye\, Dostoevsky\)
\- religion as historical force shaping society \(Weber\, Marx\)
\- religion as replaceable or reformable \(Mill\, Comte\, Kant\)
Hope to see you there!

Meetup in the Park: Minimal living and Tiny Home Living
**About this event:** Have you been dreaming of going tiny? Are you curious about minimal living, off-grid setups, or just downsizing your life in Victoria?
You are not alone! We are launching a new community for enthusiasts to connect, share stories, and support one another.
(Please book ticket in EventBrite [here](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/monthly-minimal-living-meetup-tiny-home-tickets-1983064391979?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl) )
Imagine a life with less clutter, less debt, and more freedom.
We are building a community in Victoria for those who want to step away from the traditional housing market and embrace tiny homes and minimal living.
For our first-ever meetup, we are keeping it simple. We’ll meet in the park to introduce ourselves and discuss what we want to create together. Whether you want to talk about the technical side (trailers, solar, regulations) or the lifestyle side (downsizing, remote work), this is the place to start.
Come along, make new friends, and let’s talk about how to make big dreams happen in tiny spaces.
Please book your ticket https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/monthly-minimal-living-meetup-tiny-home-tickets-1983064391979?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
**What to expect:** This is a strictly casual, unstructured meetup. No presentations, no sales pitches, and no pressure. Just a relaxed afternoon in the park with like-minded people.
We’re simply gathering to discuss:
* Who is already living the tiny life?
* Who is dreaming/planning?
* What are the local hurdles (council rules, finding land, etc.)?
* How can we support each other?
**Who should come:** Whether you have your tiny house plans drawn up, you're already living in one, or you just watched a documentary and thought "I could do that"—you are welcome here.
**What to bring:**
* A camping chair or picnic rug.
* Your own snacks/drinks.
* Sun protection (or an umbrella—it is Melbourne/Victoria after all!).
**About Your Host**
Hi, I’m Karen. After exploring over 50 countries, I’ve chosen Melbourne as my home. As an entrepreneur, I’ve come to realize that we don't need much to be truly happy. In fact, nature provides us with so many "free luxuries"—from sunlight to green spaces—that we often overlook in the modern world.
I am channeling this philosophy into building my own tiny home in Victoria this year. I started this group because I realized that while the tiny house movement is growing, the journey can feel a bit lonely. I want to build a supportive local community where we can share resources, untangle the regulations, and help each other turn these small dreams into reality.
* **Wet Weather Plan:** (e.g., "If it rains, we will move to a cafe close by.")

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
