🚀What if feeling stuck isn’t a problem—but a powerful form of self-protection? Feeling stuck is often seen as a failure or weakness, yet stuckness can actually serve as a powerful form of protection. In this MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar, Stuckness as Protection, you’ll explore how feeling immobilized or uncertain can prevent impulsive decisions, emotional overwhelm, and unhealthy situations. Led by Harald Bartisch, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, this session reframes stuckness as a meaningful pause—one that invites reflection, clarity, and balance. You’ll learn how stuckness can arise from fear, self-doubt, low self-esteem, or external constraints, and how recognizing its protective role can reduce frustration and self-judgment. Through practical insights and NLP-informed strategies such as setting boundaries, gaining clarity, and seeking support, this webinar will help you move from stuckness to empowered, intentional action. 🗓️Join us on **February 8, 2025**, for the MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar “**Stuckness as Protection**” with **Harald Bartisch**, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, as we explore how feeling stuck can guide meaningful change. 🎯 **Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience** ✅Stuckness is not always negative—it can be a form of protection that prevents rash decisions and supports reflection and healing. ✅Getting unstuck begins with identifying the true source of stuckness, whether it’s fear, self-doubt, protection, or external factors, and applying intentional strategies to address it. 🎯 **Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits** ✅Stuckness as a signal: Learn to see stuckness as useful information rather than resistance or failure. ✅Boundaries restore balance: Discover how healthy boundaries reduce burnout and support forward movement. ✅Clarity creates momentum: Gain tools to clarify values and goals, reducing indecision and fear. ✅Small steps matter: Break overwhelm into manageable actions that rebuild confidence. ✅Support accelerates growth: Understand the role of coaches, mentors, and community in navigating stuckness effectively. **ABOUT THE SPEAKER**🎤 Harald Bartisch has more than 30+ years of experience in engineering, industrial plant construction projects, thereof 20+ years in managing production companies, leading staff members in China.

Do you feel like you are too nice? Sherry Argov'sWhy Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask: · Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change? · Why do men take nice girls for granted? · Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself? Full of advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author's unique "Attraction Principles," Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry—you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort. This book addresses the dynamics of modern relationships. Sherry Argov argues that men are attracted to strong, independent women. Instead of being a “doormat,” women can gain respect and love by valuing themselves and setting boundaries. **An Overview of “Why Men Love Bitches”** Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” serves as a refreshing viewpoint on women’s relationships with men. The book dispenses advice on how to break from the cycle of being too accommodating in relationships. It challenges women to empower themselves and uphold their self-respect. Using humor and straightforward language, Argov clarifies the qualities of a “bitch”—a strong woman who knows her worth and stands firm in her identity. Focusing on relationship dynamics, she addresses the reasons men gravitate towards confident women instead of “nice girls.” **Understanding Men’s Behavior** One central theme of Argov’s advice tackles men’s romantic behavior. Why do men often seem enamored at first, only to withdraw later? Argov claims that once they perceive a woman as a “sure thing,” they lose interest. Men are drawn to the hunt, frequently motivated by the challenge. She suggests that withholding certain intimate aspects initially can heighten his respect and interest. The book offers practical steps to maintain this intrigue. For example, the author recommends creating an air of mystery around feelings and availability. This doesn’t imply manipulation; it’s about being genuine while developing a healthy balance of interest. The advice also includes classic tricks, like introducing playful teasing to defuse tension during awkward moments, keeping the relationship exciting and vibrant. *Why Men Love Bitches explores the dynamic of modern dating, shedding light on why independent and assertive women attract men more than those who are overly accommodating or submissive.* *The book “Why Men Love Bitches” by Sherry Argov offers a fresh perspective into dating and relationships. The author breaks down the idea that many women mistakenly believe that being nice and overly accommodating will earn them the love and admiration of men. Instead, Argov argues that the opposite is often true. Men are attracted to women who exude confidence, independence, and assertiveness. This book emphasizes the importance of self-respect and self-worth in relationships, guiding readers toward fostering a personality that commands respect and attracts quality partners.* *Why Men Love Bitches* (WMLB) has completely reshaped how woman approach relationships. In this fun & engaging read by *New York Times* bestselling author, Sherry Argov, women learn about the importance of standing your ground, knowing who you are, and holding your own in a relationship. Argov shares advice & stories that highlight the value of being a “bitch” in a relationship. This book separates women into one of two categories: a nice girl vs a bitch. A**“bitch”** in this book is not the stereotypical bitch most people automatically think of. In this book, being a bitch means you are sassy and confident. You are kind, yet strong and never chase a man. If he doesn’t want you — that’s fine, you don’t want him. The**nice girl** is someone who gives too much and doesn’t receive anything back. She often overcompensates and will do anything to keep her man because she thinks she is nothing without him. **The Balance of Independence and Togetherness** This guide doesn’t just criticize the overly nice; it offers hope, encouragement, and reaffirmation of one’s individuality. While the book prioritizes independence, Argov also emphasizes the importance of partnership. A relationship flourishes when both partners can be secure within themselves while still supporting one another. By communicating clearly and confidently, each partner should celebrate the other’s space instead of monopolizing it. This balance deepens intimacy while simultaneously preserving individuality, which is the essence of healthy love. Argov completes her exploration of relationships by reinforcing a key takeaway. A happy woman is the most attractive person in the room. When partnered with someone who understands their significance, a woman becomes magnetic. Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” is an assertive manifesto that advises women to love themselves fiercely. Through this perspective, readers can harness confidence, self-love, and respect within love, ensuring that they are never seen as a mere doormat but rather as the queen of their life’s narrative. 阿尔戈列举了一般情况下分成两类的女人：乖乖女和坏女人。先不说什么是坏女人，来看一个典型的乖乖女— ♀对喜欢的男人象忠犬，招之即来挥之即去；又象电视机，他想开就开，想关就关； ♀本来周末已有安排，对方一个电话过来，就扔下一切，驱车几十公里赴约； ♀对于从来不同意事先约好见面时间的男人也十分顺从； ♀没车坐机场巴士也要去接远道而归的男人； ♀为了捧红心上人的作品自己从零开始学做经纪人； 1、“坏“女人从不立刻回应男人的短信和电话，即使手机就在她手边。 对策：无需等待她的回复，忙你自己的事情，但一定要通过社交网络，展示你充实且美好的生活。实际上一直在监控你社交网络的她，总会忍不住想融入其中。这时候，你的手机就会响起短信提示音了。 2、“坏”女人不肯改变自己的既定行程，时常拒绝你的诚挚邀约。 对策：这并代表她不在乎你，反而恰恰证明她把你当男朋友，而不是“男闺蜜”。被拒绝后，请绅士的祝她既定行程顺利，并表示愿意等她的聚会结束后，开车接送她回家，这比请她吃晚餐更贴心。 3、“坏”女人让男人们感觉到，她爱自己胜过一切。 对策：收起你的玻璃心，她最爱自己并不代表她不爱你。每一个成熟的人都应该先学会“自爱”，然后才有资格去爱别人。让“坏”女人认识到你也是爱自己胜过一切，因为她喜欢懂得爱自己的男人。 4、“坏”女人不断声明，对于犯错的男人，她随时都会转身离去。 对策：离开并不等于不会回来，你无需因为害怕失去，而受“坏”女人摆布。你需要提前做好工作的是，让“坏”女人明白，你是一个能够独立思考的人，是非准则不由她一人决定。 5、“坏“女人从不让男人掌控自己，谁都不能独有她。 对策：这是“坏”女人在故意激发男人的征服欲，她深谙“得不到才是最好的”这个道理。你要配合她演好这出戏，然后给她最多自由的你，渐渐就成了她最不舍得离开的“牢笼”。 6、“坏”女人喜欢玩“一个耳光加一个糖豆”的游戏。 对策：“坏”女人会以有事为由，拒绝明晚与你约会，可当晚她又会临时告知你，她可以赴约。因为她盘算着，你会像个心爱玩具失而复得的小孩，对她感激不尽。这种情况下，你的正确回应是，告诉她你已经约好朋友一起去打球了。 7、“坏”女人好像能看穿你的小心思，你的情话总被她冷漠应对。 对策：在恋爱博弈中，人人都难免犯贱，聪明的“坏”女人早已洞悉一切。所以你不要刻意的去讨好她，不要把甜言蜜语挂在嘴边。有事说事，没事就闭嘴，是与“坏”女人交往的最好模式。 8、“坏”女人的床总是很难上，在楼道里就与你道晚安。 对策：做爱之前，男人糊涂，女人清醒；做爱之后，男人清醒，女人糊涂。承认吧，如果第一次约会时，“坏”女人就把身体给了你，你反而会担心更多。保持你的耐心，按捺你的欲望，当她缓缓解开睡衣的那一瞬间，你会发现等待是值得的。 9、“坏”女人从不做出承诺，让你倍感不安。 对策：“坏”女人是只狡猾的狐狸，她很会装聋作哑，虽然嘴上不说，但她心里和明镜似的。不要强迫“坏”女人做承诺，但你要主动向她做承诺。虽然表面上，她对此只会轻蔑一笑，但这只狐狸心里已经吃到了甜葡萄。 10、“坏”女人似乎并不需要你，你感觉自己可有可无。 对策：“坏”女人和你在一起，并不是因为她“需要“你，而是因为她“选择”了你，你们是平等的伴侣。因此，你无需主动给她什么，只需向她展示你可以提 **[#Redefine]() the word BITCH#** **She maintains her independence.** **She doesn't pursue him.** **She is mysterious.** **She maintains a sense of humor.** **She places a high value on herself.** **She is passionate about something other than him.** **She treats her body like a finely tuned machine** **Event schedule活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领， Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book. **How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?** The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar. **Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?** Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you. **Is this group open to everyone?** Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.

This is not just a money class. This is a restoration space. The I AM Worthy of Ownership™ Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressure—and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit. Many women don’t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are “behind” or “disqualified.” This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning. Together, we will talk honestly about: Releasing shame and money anxiety Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation Preparing for life’s unexpected moments without fear Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen. This is not about hustle. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace. Who this series is for: Women who are starting over or rebuilding Women who want stability without stress Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear No prior financial knowledge is required. Come as you are. Bring a notebook. Leave a little lighter than you arrived. Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

We will have lunch at Cap City Diner in Gahanna at 12:00 then walk over to the theater afterwards. The Movie Solo Mio starts at 1:20.It will be posted when tickets available to purchase probably the week before then we’ll post our seat number so we can all sit together 😎

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
