CRM/Customer Relationship Management

## **BETA TESTING OPPORTUNITY - Limited to 10 People** We are launching a **3-week Stay-or-Leave Relationship Decision Framework** and need 10 beta testers to go through it first. Comment BETA to express interest and to receive more information. **What you get:** * Complete access to the 3-week decision framework * Structured process to reach a confident stay-or-leave decision * Support from a Registered Counsellor throughout **What we need from you:** * Complete the framework within 3 weeks (February-March) * Provide honest feedback to help refine the content * Optional testimonial if the framework helps you **Who This Framework Is For** This framework is designed for mid-lifers in long-term relationships or marriages who are: · Emotionally exhausted from years of unresolved resentment, quiet disconnection, or carrying the weight of indecision, caught between staying (and slowly disappearing) or leaving (and hurting people you care about) · Chronically conflicted - not occasionally doubting, but stuck in a long-term pattern of "maybe yes, maybe no" that's wearing you down · Deeply caring - you don't want to make a decision you'll regret, and that care is part of what's keeping you stuck **Who This Framework Is NOT For** This framework is not appropriate if: · You have already decided to leave and need logistical or legal guidance (not decision clarity).You are currently experiencing physical violence, threats, coercive control, or stalking from your partner. · Your partner is in active addiction or untreated severe mental illness that makes the relationship unsafe or unpredictable right now. · You are in acute mental health crisis (suicidal ideation, severe depression, panic disorder) and need immediate clinical support before doing deep decision work. **How the 5-Phase Decision Framework Works** This framework takes you from paralysed indecision to a values-aligned choice you can trust—and then shows you how to live it without spiraling back into doubt. **Phase 1 – Why You Can't Decide**: Identify what's driving your indecision, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and understand the hidden costs of staying in limbo. **Phase 2 – Diagnosing Your Relationship**: Run objective diagnostics across intimacy, communication, trust, compatibility, and effort to determine whether your relationship can actually meet your needs—not whether you wish it could. **Phase 3 – Mapping the Trade-Offs**: Compare the real costs and gains of staying versus leaving across emotional, financial, logistical, identity, health, and meaning dimensions to see which path aligns with your values. **Phase 4 – Making the Decision**: Synthesize everything you've learned, confront the core question, and choose your path—stay and repair, leave and rebuild, or consciously accept—with a written decision statement that anchors your commitment. **Phase 5 – Living the Decision**: Build certainty through commitment (not the other way around), rebuild self-trust through consistent action, and follow your path-specific 30-day integration plan—whether you're staying or leaving—without reopening the decision.

Have you ever experienced a relationship that soured into bitter or unresolved conflict? Have you ever attempted to connect with someone and seen your efforts come to nothing? WHAT IF you could resolve any upset and restore harmony? WHAT IF you could build positive relationships that last? NOW YOU CAN! The secret to successful relationships depends upon knowing what underlies all human relations, and nothing teaches you that basic foundation better than the how to improve relationships with others course. Today talk will go for roughly one hour, including the answering of all your questions. You also have the option to do a free personality test which takes about 20 minutes to fill out and another 30 min to go over the results with you. This free meetup talk is open to all people of goodwill. If the time and date does not suit you then contact the Event Organizer via meetup and rearrange it.

It's DDD but \***lightning**\*. The evening will be a hybrid event hosted by the DDD Melbourne crew and consist of short & sharp presentations of fifteen minutes in length on a dev related subject. Venue space is limited, we cannot accommodate more than **90 people**. First come first served! **ONLINE ATTENDANCE** You can join us online, we'll aim to get the call started somewhere around 6pm before we have our introductions and first speaker. Remote audience link --> **TBA** You can ask questions of our speakers via Slido. We'll try to ask your questions as they come through on Slido, but we may not get to all of them. **TALKS** **Elmer Rokerick Niem Bool** neurUL: Duplicateless Databases Using Biomimicry In this talk, Elmer will present neurUL (neurUL Universal Language), a new neurobiological programming language, inspired by computer science, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, and philosophy, that can enable a highly efficient and flexible method for data storage. Using neurUL, developers will be able to solve the ""unavoidable redundancies"" problem, wherein, despite the introduction of database normalization more than half a century ago, relational databases with their current limitations, are still plagued by costly, ever-growing redundancies across columns, rows, tables, as well as in schema definitions **Suyogya Taneja** CQRS in Modern .NET: Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice, Microservices, and AI-Assisted Development with Claude Code The talk will explore implementing CQRS in modern .NET applications across Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice Architecture, and Microservices, along with demonstrating how AI-assisted development using Claude Code can help accelerate building CQRS-based features such as commands, handlers, and tests. **Anderson Santos** Automate Work and Build Tools with No-Code Repetitive tasks are everywhere, copying data between systems, updating records, processing documents, and managing manual workflows. In this talk, Anderson will show how no-code automation platforms like Make allow anyone to connect systems, eliminate boring work, and build powerful workflows without writing code. He will also briefly explore how the same approach can be used to create internal tools and even launch small SaaS products. **Ben Taylor** Building MCP Servers is Surprisingly Easy The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing what is possible with LLMs and enabling general purpose agents. It turns out building MCP servers is super easy. Ben will talk about what an MCP is, some background around the security considerations involved, how to build one, and what you could use it for. **SCHEDULE** **5.45pm** Open doors, food served **6.10pm** Intro and three talks **7.30pm** Break for networking and drinks **8.00pm** Two more talks **8.45pm** Close **CODE OF CONDUCT** All DDD events are subject to the DDD Code of Conduct available at https://www.dddmelbourne.com/code-of-conduct/ **VENUE AND FOOD SPONSOR** [Luminary](https://www.luminary.com/) **FUTURE EVENTS** Are you interested in speaking at a future DDD by Night?

🌟 **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience** Many of you have been asking about structured events and if I’d ever bring them back. Well… here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.** Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events don’t give you the space for real conversation. 💫 **What to Expect** This is not speed dating, and it’s not a big mixer. It’s a curated, one-on-one connection experience where you’ll meet a few people who’ve been matched to you based on personality and vibe. Expect: * A cosy, comfortable venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly standing around * A series of guided one-on-one conversations * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating Each conversation is designed to feel natural — because the match is based on compatibility Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1985176043987?aff=oddtdtcreator 🧭 **Before the Event** Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, you’ll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**. It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors. This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event. 🌿 **Come Join Us** If you’re tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you. A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat. RSVP now — spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. 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 Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
