Nous travaillerons sur un nombre de séances définies ⏰ 💻 (50min, 45min, 40min, 35min, 30min, 40min): Total = 4 heures; avec des petites pauses de 10min entre les séances Pendant les pauses, nous nous échangerons sur principaux défis de l'entrepreneuriat, les challenges de chacun, comment les surmonter, comment vendre plus, comment scaler son business, etc. À bientôt! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Do you have an online business? A website ? A Shopify store? Products on Amazon? Or simply an idea, a project that you'd like to work on? Then come and join us for 4 hours of "Deep Work" at the coffee shop of the boat Annette K. Deep Work relies on eliminating (or failing that, reducing) non-essential tasks to stay focused on what's important. Keep in mind that we cannot be at our maximum efficiency for more than 3 or 4 hours a day! During the breaks, we will discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, the challenges that each one of us is facing, how to overcome them, how to sell more, how to scale your business, etc. See you soon!

L’improvisation, c’est un peu comme sauter dans le vide… mais avec un trampoline en dessous. Ce que vous allez découvrir ici, c’est que vous avez déjà tout ce qu’il faut en vous : de la créativité, de l’écoute, de l’imagination… et surtout, une bonne dose de courage. L’impro, c’est aussi un formidable outil pour développer la confiance en soi, l’écoute des autres et la capacité à lâcher prise. Et oui, ça veut dire qu’on va sortir un peu de notre zone de confort. Mais rassurez-vous : on est tous là pour la même chose, et ce que vous direz, ferez, tenterez ici, restera dans un cadre bienveillant et sans jugement. Alors, faites-vous confiance, faites confiance au groupe… et surtout, amusez-vous ! Prêts à plonger ? Allez, c’est parti ! Les modalités vous seront communiquées par mp. Une participation de 10 euros sera à régler. Nous déclinons toute responsabilité, en cas d’incident. L’équipe d’organisation

DANS TOUS LES CAS, MERCI de téléphoner au 0782326054 au moins 48 heures avant la Date prévue ATELIER 1 spécial COACHS : Découvrez et Apprenez à faire une vidéo qui peut servir dans le domaine marketing mais aussi un outil d'expression dans le domaine du coaching et de l'accompagnement et relation d'aide : - aide à la visualisation d'un objectif - aide à l'expression de ses conflits intérieurs - construction de métaphores (visuel, son/musique générant plus d'émotions que de simples écrits) de style "main qui écrit " et autres effets originaux pour présenter vos services en seulement 2 heures ! https://youtu.be/ckHyvBomRF8 sans logiciel coûteux à installer ! Aujourd'hui, la vidéo est presque indispensable sur internet car elle est plus facile et ludique à regarder qu'un texte à lire. Une vidéo de quelques minutes permet d'ouvrir votre chaîne Youtube et de vous amener plus de notoriété et de nouveaux clients qui ne vous auraient pas trouvé par votre site internet. Beaucoup de personnes se filment simplement eux mêmes mais leurs vidéo ne ressort pas spécialement parmi les recherches sur Youtube car elle n'est pas "originale" par rapport aux autres. Or notre cerveau aime les métaphores, les représentations symboliques liées à des mots et phrases clés. "Un bon schéma vaut mieux qu'un long discours" auquel on rajoutera : "une méthaphore visuelle" vaut mieux qu'un long discours. De plus, si vous n'aimez pas spécialement vous montrer en vidéo, ceci est la solution qui réunit les 2 atouts. Mais rien ne vous empêche aussi de rajouter quelques secondes pour dire bonjour ou vous présenter en vidéo ou avec une simple photo. En 2 heures, vous apprendrez à créer ce genre de petite vidéo très utile et - efficace au point de vue marketing - mais cela peut aussi vous servir à faire des vidéos originales et attractives pour votre site, blog ou chaîne Youtube, Facebook etc. - Vous pouvez venir avec un projet vidéo ou non - Amenez vos ordinateurs portables si vous en avez ! Durée atelier : 2 heures Heure début : 17 heures Heure fin : 19 heures Tarif : 100 € en tout - dont la moitié 50€ pour réservation obligatoire pour une question d'organisation et d'engagement mutuel afin d'éviter que des personnes s'inscrivent au Meetup et ne viennent pas sans penser à se désinscrire, ce qui est malheureusement le cas de la majorité de Meetups - réservation obligatoire au plus tard la veille de l'atelier - et les 50 € restant à régler dès votre arrivée C'est un investissement à coup sûr qui vous fera gagner beaucoup efficacité, de temps et qui vous procura un moyen de grande créativité. - Cet outil permet aussi de fabriquer "des histoires" qui peuvent très bien convenir à l'approfondissement et à l’interaction avec un enfant dans le domaine éducatif ou psychologique. D'autres ateliers auront lieu certains Jeudi soir ou Dimanche après midi, mais il est souvent mieux d'agir maintenant pour avancer vers vos objectifs ! - Cet atelier sera suivi d'un Atelier 2 spécial Coachs où chacun travaillera sur son projet personnel (optionnel) pour les personnes intéressées. Merci de préciser sur ce mur si vous pouvez venir avec votre ordinateur portable afin de prévoir le nombre de place et de postes disponibles. http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/4/4/6/600_445910246.jpeg DANS TOUS LES CAS, MERCI de téléphoner au 0782326054 au moins 48 heures avant la Date prévue

Join us as we get the New Year started with one of the best films of the year: THE SECRET AGENT! This political thriller from Brazil is set in 1977 where a man flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown but soon finds the city is far from being the refuge he seeks. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: In 1977, a former professor flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown of Recife in search of peace. He soon realizes that the city is far from being the refuge he seeks.

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UfrzDKrhEc BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The Secret Agent was the most awarded film at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival where it won Best Actor for Wagner Moura, Best Director for Mendonça Filho, the Art House Cinema Award and the FIPRESCI Prize. At this year’s Golden Globes, it became Brazil’s first film ever to be nominated for Best Film (Drama)! It also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Film, a Best Actor nomination for Wagner Moura and was selected as Brazil’s entry for Best International Film at this year’s Academy Awards. The film is receiving an incredible 99% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics say, its “compelling script, impeccable acting, and striking 1970s aesthetic” make it “impossible to look away!” Critics say The Secret Agent is “one of the few standout movies of the year” and the Chicago Tribune calls it a “masterpiece of a film” and “the best film of the year!” PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St).

Once details are confirmed, advance ticket is advised. Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtime, location and complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer. Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Join us as we get together for an Oscar Watch film that’s also one of the year’s best: MARTY SUPREME! Timothee Chalamet delivers a “career-best performance” in this film that follows a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. Marty Supreme has already been named a Top 10 Film of the Year by IndieWire, Vulture, the BBC, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute and is well on its way to being one of the most nominated films at this year’s Oscars!

The film is directed (and co-written) by Josh Safdie and stars Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher.

Timothee Chalamet immediately shot to the top of the Best Actor race with a “career best performance” in a film described as an “awe inspiring cinematic tour-de-force!” Others call it, “an absolute blast of adrenaline” and a “pure delight,” “that soars from start to finish!” The film is earning a Certified Fresh 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where Variety calls it, “one of the year’s few masterpieces!” Slash Film declares, “This is unquestionably the best performance of Timothée Chalamet's career, and Marty Supreme is one of the best movies of the year. I can't wait to watch it again!” PLAN: For MARTY SUPREME at the Drexel, please purchase your ticket for the 3:30pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area between 3:10 and 3:20pm!

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 12:00 - quick intros. 12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Sunday!
