Small Business Networking

Enjoy your time learning and practicing public speaking with Budapest Toastmasters! There is no need to speak or any previous experience in Public Speaking. --- 👉Keycode: 12, 3rd Floor. Please arrive by 6:20 PM, the meeting starts at 6:30 PM👉No registration or dress code is needed, the event is FREE.👉NOTE: We will have signs in the place so you can locate easily the Toastmasters Meeting room. --- Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

**This week's venue: ANT Collective \| Tisza u\. 11\. Budapest 1133** (the venue requires 1000 Ft/person) We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup; 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

MIT NYER AZ ASSZERTÍV ÉS EGYÜTTMŰKÖDŐ KOMMUNIKÁCIÓVAL? Partnere vagy ügyfele pontosan megérti, hogy mit akar mondani és elérni. Bátran és nyíltan érvényesíti érdekeit mások érdekeinek tiszteletben tartásával. Önbecsülése erősödik. Nyugalmát megőrizve oldja meg konfliktusait. Jobban fog kapcsolódni másokhoz. Változatos helyzetekben képes lesz alkalmazni az együttműködő kommunikáció eszköztárát. MILYEN FORMÁBAN VALÓSÍTJUK MEG? 9.00-15.00 Interaktív tréning, teamcoaching módszerekkel RÖVID ÁTTEKINTÉS: Valamennyien tudjuk, hogy az asszertív kommunikáció az elképzeléseink érvényesítését jelenti olyan módon, hogy figyelembe vesszük mások elképzeléseit is. Hogyan valósíthatjuk meg ezt olyan módon, hogy a lehető legnagyobb közös nyereséggel zárjuk érdekeink ütközésével járó vitáinkat? Nem kell kibújnunk a bőrünkből: ha a kommunikációnkon tudatosan változtatunk, máris eredményesebben lépünk fel érdekeink képviseletében. TÉMAKÖRÖK: Az alábbiakban kiemeltük a tréning legfontosabb tanulási pontjait: Önérvényesítés – nem túl sok, nem túl kevés. Résztvevőink az önbecsülés- önérvényesítés kapcsolatával foglalkoznak, különbséget tesznek az asszertív és agresszív működésmód között. Asszertív jogaim Résztvevőink letesztelhetik, milyen mértékben alkalmazzák az önérvényesítés eszközeit, mekkora teret tartanak meg magunka, és mekkorát engednek át másoknak általuk fontosnak tartott kérdésekben. Új nyelvet tanulok: az önérvényesítő készségek szótára. Ha új nyelven szólalunk meg, új kifejezéseket tanulunk, és bővítjük szókincsünket. Nincs ez másképp az önérvényesítés nyelvének elsajátításakor sem. A tiszta, nyílt és bátor kommunikáció eszközei. Résztvevőink megtanulják alkalmazni megszerzett tudásokat a mindennapi szituációkban. Nemet mondani Hatásos, egyszerű módszerek arra, hogyan utasítsunk vissza feszültségmentesen olyan kéréseket, amelyek többletterheket rónak ránk, hogyan zárjunk rövidre olyan beszélgetéseket, amelyek kényelmetlenek nekünk. Azt kérd, amit szeretnél Gyakran nehéz kérni, különösen, ha nem vagyunk magabiztosak. Résztvevőink begyakorolják, hogyan fogalmazzák meg kéréseiket. Élményt szereznek arról, a magabiztos viselkedés pozitívan hat vissza önbecsülésükre. Az együttműködő kommunikáció modellje – érzelmileg feszült kapcsolatok kezelése Résztvevőink megtanulják az őszinte, szükségletek és érzések felismerésén és feltárásán alapuló kommunikációs módszert, az együttműködő vagy empatikus kommunikációt. Nyugodtan és meggyőzően: a düh és felindultság kezelése Megkülönböztetjük a düh kifejezésének előrevivő és akadályozó formáit. A megtanult önérvényesítő készségeket indulatteli helyzetekben is alkalmazzuk. Jelentkezési lap: https://coachingcentrum.hu/asszertiv-es-egyuttmukodo-kommunikacio-trening/

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
