In this session, we’ll explore one of the most important and overlooked leadership skills: how to tackle difficult conversations in a way that builds trust, drives growth and sets the standard for the people around you. Too often, conflict is treated as a one-off conversation or a management tool reserved for performance issues. But in reality, the way a leader handles conflict shapes culture. It teaches people what honesty sounds like, what care looks like and whether growth feels safe. Together, we’ll explore four common ways people experience challenging conversations in the workplace. We’ll unpack how each one affects confidence, motivation, trust, and performance and what leaders can do differently to communicate with more intention and impact. This will be a practical, interactive session designed for professionals, founders, managers, team leads, and anyone who wants to communicate more effectively and lead by example. **During the session we’ll cover:** * Why leadership is better understood as an infinite game rather than a short-term win. * The four methods people often use to handle difficult conversations: compassionate clarity, brutal clarity, empty critique, and empty negativity. * How different approaches affect trust, confidence, motivation, and action. * Why vague kindness can be just as unhelpful as harsh criticism. **About the Speaker** Saba Shakir is a Leadership Communication and a Learning & Development specialist who designs practical training to improve speaking, interpersonal skills and leadership confidence. She is also President of Women4Space, promoting inclusion and opportunities in the space sector. With a Masters in Linguistics and degree in Social Psychology, she focuses on helping professionals communicate clearly and lead effectively. Her research on building an inclusive space workforce will be presented at IAC Antalya 2026. **Agenda** * Doors open: 7.00pm * Session starts: 7.15pm * Interactive activities and discussion: 7.30pm * Q&A / group reflection: 7.45pm * Networking: 8.00pm **About Let’s Speak Business** Join Let’s Speak Business, where ambitious people come together to strengthen the communication and leadership skills that shape real career growth.

​The mornings that get harder, the things that used to excite you that now feel hollow, the sense that you're running on empty but somehow still running. By the time most people recognise it, burnout has already been building for months. **​In this Growth Lab LIVE workshop session, Professor Joaquim T. Limonero takes a scientific look at what's actually happening, both psychologically and physically, when stress stops being useful and starts becoming harmful.** **[Tickets must be purchased via LUMA - from 10 euros.](https://luma.com/or3e7t07?utm-source-meetup)** ​Drawing on health psychology and emotional regulation research, we'll explore why your nervous system responds to a difficult email the same way it once responded to a predator, how the stories you tell yourself about pressure shape your experience of it, and why some people seem to absorb stress while others accumulate it. ​ This isn't about telling you to sleep more and drink less coffee. It's about understanding the real mechanics of stress — so that when you feel it building, you know what's happening, and you actually have somewhere to go with it. *** ## ​What You'll Take Away ​**1\. Stress isn't the enemy — your relationship with it is** Learn to distinguish between productive stress that sharpens your focus and toxic stress that quietly depletes you. The difference isn't always the situation — it's the meaning you assign to it. ​**2\. You have more control over your stress response than you think** Cognitive appraisal — how you interpret a situation — is one of the most powerful levers you have. We'll look at practical ways to shift your internal narrative before the stress response takes hold. ​**3\. Burnout is a psychological signal\, not a personal failure** Understanding *why* some people are more vulnerable to burnout changes the conversation entirely. It's not about weakness or laziness — it's about patterns, history, and what we've learned to believe about our own worth under pressure. ​**4\. Emotional regulation is a skill\, and most of us were never taught it** There's a big difference between suppressing how you feel and actually processing it. We'll explore regulation strategies that build genuine resilience — not just the appearance of coping. ​**5\. Recovery is an active process** Rest alone doesn't reverse burnout. We'll look at what psychological recovery actually requires, and how to build it into real life — not just in theory. ​**About the Speaker:** ​Dr. Joaquim T. Limonero is Professor of Psychology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and coordinator of the Research Group on Stress and Health (GIES). His work focuses on stress, anxiety, emotional wellbeing and health psychology, and he is President of the Spanish Society for the Study of Anxiety and Stress (SEAS). He also serves as editor-in-chief of the scientific journal *Ansiedad y Estrés*. * ​​1845h - Doors open * ​1900h - Talk starts * ​2000h - Q&A * ​2030h - Drinks & Networking * Tickets: https://luma.com/or3e7t07?utm-source-meetup ​​-- ​​​\*\*[Growth Lab: Unlock Your Potential](https://www.growth-lab.live/)\*\* ​​​​Join us at Growth Lab, where ambitious minds gather to explore ideas that fuel personal and professional growth.

**¿Cómo aparece tu web cuando alguien pregunta a ChatGPT, Perplexity o Google Gemini? El SEO tradicional nos enseñó a conquistar los 10 enlaces azules, pero el juego está cambiando.** Cada vez más usuarios buscan respuestas directamente en IAs que no muestran listas de resultados, sino una única respuesta. Bienvenidos a la era del GEO: Generative Engine Optimization. En esta charla veremos qué criterios usan los motores generativos para elegir qué fuentes citar y tácticas prácticas para WordPress: cómo estructurar contenido «citable», la importancia del E-E-A-T y Schema Markup. Porque el futuro no es solo aparecer en los resultados: es ser LA respuesta.

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional
