Have you ever noticed your confidence quietly depends on whether someone said “good job” that week? You’re capable. You know your stuff. But somehow, in the quieter moments, the self-doubt creeps in. And you realise you’ve been waiting for someone else’s validation to feel like enough. That’s the approval trap. Most of us are in it without realising. I’ve lived this pattern myself. This dinner is my way of creating the conversation I wish I’d had earlier. We’ll spend the evening unpacking the psychology behind approval-seeking, recognising how it quietly shows up in our lives, and leaving with something real to take forward. **💫 What to expect:** * A warm, guided group coaching conversation * Psychology-backed tools to shift the pattern * One personal takeaway to carry forward **Details** 📅 Thursday, 28 May 2026 · 7:00–9:00PM 📍 CBD (exact location shared upon registration and payment made) 👥 6 women 🎟️ S$30 per person (community pricing) Hosted by: Alicia https://alicia.co

Join us to build a quality network and accelerate your own growth! ### What To Expect **📍 Date:** Sat, 30th May 2026 **🕙 Time:** 10am–12pm **📌 Venue:** Programme Room 3, Basement 1, Central Library , 100 Victoria St **👥 Group Size:** Small & focused (20-25pax) so everyone gets to contribute Rather than the *typical* book club where everyone has to read the same book beforehand, WFC is a relaxed brunch-time huddle with 2-3 “Book Sharers” taking 15min turns to present insights from a piece of non-fiction that they’ve read which is followed by open discussion. Bring your curiosity and let’s bounce ideas around. ### How You Can Join **🙋 Learner**-Sit in, listen actively, and join the discussion if you feel like it **📚 Sharer**\- Read a non\-fiction book that blew your mind?

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
