Design Sprint

Colori, chiacchiere e… brunch! ☕ Hai mai sentito parlare di armocromia o sei semplicemente curiosə di capire quali colori ti valorizzano davvero? In questo evento ti guiderò alla scoperta dell’armocromia: una disciplina che aiuta a scegliere le tonalità più adatte a noi per apparire più freschi, luminosi e autentici — nel modo più naturale possibile. ✨ Cosa ti aspetta? • una prima parte di workshop con spiegazione semplice e pratica dei principi base (stagioni, sottotoni, armonie) • una analisi flash personalizzata per individuare la tua palette ideale • consigli concreti per usare i colori giusti ogni giorno: abbigliamento, accessori, capelli (e make-up, se ti va) Dopo il workshop, ci sposteremo su una seconda parte più rilassata: brunch e chiacchiere insieme, per condividere domande, curiosità e continuare a parlare di colori… con qualcosa di buono davanti Il tutto in un locale accogliente, in orario brunch: una mattinata lenta tra profumo di caffè, piatti buoni, colori e nuove scoperte. Perché sì, si impara meglio con qualcosa di buono tra le mani Ogni consumazione sarà a carico del partecipante: si potrà scegliere liberamente cosa ordinare dal menu del locale L’evento è aperto a tuttə, uomini e donne, senza alcuna esperienza richiesta: solo voglia di stare bene, fare un brunch insieme e scoprire come piccoli dettagli possono fare una grande differenza. Vieni per il brunch, resta per scoprire quali colori ti fanno brillare. **NOTA IMPORTANTE!** La tua partecipazione sarà confermata solo dopo il ricevimento della quota tramite PayPal (scegliendo l’opzione “Amici e parenti”). La quota include l’accesso all’evento e una consulenza flash personalizzata di armocromia. Per qualsiasi dubbio o chiarimento, scrivimi pure in chat! 🙂

Chiuderemo l’esperienza con una tisana da sorseggiare sull’acqua. **SUPMindfulness è uno spazio Digital Detox** Durante l’esperienza mettiamo via lo smartphone, per rigenerarci e vivere davvero il momento: potrai lasciarlo in un locale custodito.

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

**Seminario di Costellazioni Familiari e Spirituali** Ti invito a vivere un pomeriggio di consapevolezza e trasformazione attraverso il metodo delle Costellazioni Familiari e Spirituali. **Guardare Oltre** è uno spazio dedicato a chi desidera comprendere meglio le dinamiche che influenzano la propria vita — familiari, relazionali o professionali — e fare un passo verso maggiore chiarezza, ordine interiore e fiducia. Non è necessario avere esperienza. Non è necessario “sapere cosa dire”. È sufficiente il desiderio di guardare un po’ più in profondità. **✨ Cosa aspettarti** Durante il seminario: * Inizieremo con una **meditazione guidata** per allinearci e prepararci al lavoro nel campo. * Seguirà una **breve introduzione al metodo**, per comprendere come avvengono le Costellazioni. * I partecipanti potranno portare una **richiesta personale** (familiare, professionale o relazionale). Anche partecipare come **rappresentante** è un’esperienza potente: spesso permette di comprendere aspetti della propria vita in modo sorprendente e profondo. Ogni incontro è unico, perché nasce dalle domande e dalla presenza delle persone che partecipano. **🕒 Agenda del pomeriggio** **14:15 – Accoglienza** **14:30 – Inizio con meditazione e introduzione** **15:00 – Lavoro di Costellazioni** **18:15 – Condivisione finale** **18:30 – Chiusura** Ti chiedo puntualità per rispettare il lavoro del gruppo. **🎒 Cosa portare** * Abbigliamento comodo * Calze (lavoriamo senza scarpe) * Una bottiglietta d’acqua Non serve portare oggetti o foto. Durante il seminario il cellulare dovrà essere spento **📍 Come trovare il gruppo** Una volta arrivata/o alla location: * Troverai un cartello con la scritta **“Guardare Oltre – Costellazioni”** * Ti accoglierò personalmente all’ingresso * Se hai difficoltà a trovare il posto, puoi scrivermi o chiamarmi al numero indicato nell’evento L’ambiente sarà raccolto, rispettoso e protetto. **💫 Per chi è questo seminario?** Per chi sente che: * alcune situazioni si ripetono nella propria vita * manca chiarezza o direzione * desidera ritrovare fiducia e forza * vuole comprendere meglio il proprio posto nel mondo Come ricordava Bert Hellinger: **“Dove c’è ordine, c’è pace. E dove c’è pace, cresce la forza.”** Ti aspetto per questo nuovo cammino, insieme.

**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.
