## Un format che invita ad andare oltre la copertina delle persone, delle storie, dei luoghi (comuni), e creare relazioni di valore. Dopo il successo dell’evento realizzato a settembre, nel corso della Rome Future Week, prosegue la collaborazione fra ReadMeet e TuSai. Questa volta l’appuntamento è alla libreria caffè letterario Mangiaparole, uno dei luoghi storici della vita culturale romana, nel pieno del quartiere Appio Latino, a due passi dal cinema Trianon e dalla fermata Furio Camillo della metro. Da un lato **Readmeet**, un’app di incontri e networking di valore che utilizza i libri invece delle foto per costruire match e relazioni, non soltanto d’amore ma anche di amicizia. Basata su una logica da Community, ha al suo interno anche canali social dedicati ad argomenti legati ai libri, alle relazioni d’amore e alla lettura. Nel canale YouTube sono disponibili videointerviste agli scrittori più amati e di successo. Dall’altro **TuSai**, il progetto internazionale ESG di sostenibilità sociale olistica che ha al centro il benessere delle persone e che propone percorsi e workshop che integrano l’arte, la mindfulness e la condivisione orizzontale tra i partecipanti. **Il 31 maggio TuSai e Readmeet fanno “match” negli spazio della Libreria Caffè Letterario Mangiaparole in via Manlio Capitolino 7/9 a pochi passi passi dalla Stazione M Furio Camillo.** Ancora una volta fulcro dell’attività sarà un workshop esperienziale firmata TuSai, creato per chi non si accontenta di uno swipe sul cellulare ma crede nel valore delle interazioni umane. In un tempo in cui si cerca di conoscersi in pochi secondi, “Conoscersi tra le Righe” invita ad attivare creatività e ascolto personale per leggere (e lasciarsi leggere), tra le righe. Evento gratuito, Prenotazioni obbligatoria, posti limitati [https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/](https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/) ## Cosa faremo insieme: Guidati dalla metodologia creativa di **TuSai**, i *Meeters* avranno modo di conoscere sé stessi e gli altri tramite il gioco e la lettura, e prenderanno parte ad un workshop esperienziale che vuole fa cambiare prospettiva sul dating. * **Creatività, letture condivise, pratiche di presenza e momenti di dialogo reale.** Una serata diversa, in cui, tramite disegni e colori, si prenderà contatto con le proprie emozioni e la fantasia dei libri per dar forma ad un linguaggio universale: quello dell’empatia, dell’ascolto profondo e di un sentire condiviso che sorprende a ogni incontro. * **Incontri & Networking di alto valore.** Per un’esperienza immersiva che va oltre lo swipe, oltre i luoghi comuni, oltre le prime impressioni. * **Introspezione e relazione:** un’esperienza relazionale e trasformativa, dove ogni pagina è un pretesto per raccontarsi, e ogni incontro un potenziale specchio di ciò che conosci, sai…e sei. * **Libri, libri, ed ancora libri.** Ad ogni partecipante sarà proposto di pensare ad un libro che lo/la rappresenta: il resto si scriverà insieme. ##### **E non finisce qui…** Scopri di più e prenotati GRATIS a questo link, i posti sono limitati !

## Whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EcNvCIJkBYX44Q18qYie01?mode=gi_t Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them? This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk. This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary. ### What we'll do * Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions * Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo) * Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle * End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together ### What’s included * Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry) * A small traditional snack during the walk * A relaxed, small-group experience * Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language ### Optional tip At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
