✨SPECIAL EVENT✨What does leadership & innovation look like in this moment?
✨SPECIAL EVENT✨What does leadership & innovation look like in this moment?
**✨ SPECIAL EVENT✨ What does design leadership and innovation look like in this moment? - with Adam StJohn Lawrence** *\*\* Highly acclaimed international guest speaker and global thought leader\*\** Organisations today are under increasing pressure. Expectations are shifting, complexity is rising, and AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday work. At the same time, the more technology advances, the more distinctly human capabilities like judgment, facilitation, collaboration, and meaning-making are coming into focus. What does design leadership and innovation look like in this moment at the interface of human, technology (AI) and business? How can designers not only protect their craft but continue to influence decision-makers to stay the course and make human-centred decisions? Join Adam StJohn Lawrence for an interactive evening with the MelbourneDT community, exploring how we work at the intersection of humans, technology, and business in a time of ongoing transformation. **This is not a traditional talk**. Expect an active, engaging session in Adam’s distinctive style, combining participation, reflection, and open discussion. The focus is on making design matter in real organisational contexts. **Together, explore:** ✨ How to position design, innovation, and facilitation in ways that resonate in today’s business environment ✨ The language we use to communicate value and influence decisions ✨ The evolving role of facilitation as systems become more complex ✨ What changes when we begin working not only with humans but alongside AI **About Adam StJohn Lawrence** ✨ Adam StJohn Lawrence is the co-author of the best-selling book "This is Service Design Doing" and co-initiator of the Global Service Jam. Named the Godfather of facilitation, Adam is one of the founding voices of Service Design and Design Thinking globally. *He's kind of a big deal.* Adam is no ordinary facilitator. His background spans psychology, the automotive industry, and professional theatre and comedy. Improvisation and rehearsal-room practice are central influences in his work, not as performance but as disciplined ways of working with uncertainty, emotion, status and collaboration. Much of Adam’s work takes place under real pressure, with ambiguity, competing agendas and difficult conversations present in the room, and he brings this wealth of real-world experience to his workshop sessions. He shows you how to work with status and egos, conflict, uncertainty and shifting power dynamics in real-life situations with real people, that you can transfer and apply in your next meeting. What Adam teaches you is that "strategy" is not a separate conversation, held behind closed doors or in PowerPoint slides. Rather, it's expressed through behaviour, through how people listen, challenge, decide and create together. He shows you how to "see it" in action and influence the strategic process not matter what level you're at. **Who is this for?** Everyone. Tickets limited. Book fast. Pizza & drinks included!

Why it’s important to join meetups? 
It’s in our DNA to connect with people. Let’s face it, we are social creatures and we need to be connected with one another. If you go back to our grandparents, they would be connected in a community (or village) and everyone would know each other. 
Nowadays, we no longer live like this because there are big cities and we are continually moving fast, and disconnection has been widespread. This is why connection is important. We need to bring back connection.
 
As always, there will be us hosts to meet you and greet you. πŸ‘‹β€©β€©β€©β€©If you have any questions, feel free to inbox me me a direct message.✌🏽peace Kind regards, Abraham

Fast Friending: New Connections! (21-40/Happy Hour/Bring a lady free)
Moving to a new city is exciting at first β€” a fresh start, new opportunities, a new chapter. But once things settle, being new in town can feel lonely. You don’t know anyone yet, you’re unsure where to go to meet people, and everyone else seems to already have their circles. That’s where we come in. Our Fast Friending evenings are designed especially for those who are new in town and ready to build real friendships β€” creating welcoming spaces where conversations flow naturally and meaningful connections begin. **You will need to buy a ticket for attending -** [https://mel27thmarch.eventbrite.co.uk](https://mel27thmarch.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account. TICKETS:- Early Bird - AUD 10 per person Regular Ticket - AUD 15 per person Cash at Meetup - If you do not purchase tickets in advance then you can pay AUD 20 cash to your host Ivy when you meet her at the event. **What's more?** \- We have happy hours\! \- If you’re feeling a little shy\, don’t worryβ€”we’ve got you covered\!

Find Your Personality Match - Make Friends (Age group: 25-45))
🌟 **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience** Many of you have been asking about structured events and if I’d ever bring them back. Well… here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.** Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events don’t give you the space for real conversation. πŸ’« **What to Expect** This is not speed dating, and it’s not a big mixer. It’s a curated, one-on-one connection experience where you’ll meet a few people who’ve been matched to you based on personality and vibe. Expect: * A cosy, comfortable venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly standing around * A series of guided one-on-one conversations * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating Each conversation is designed to feel natural β€” because the match is based on compatibility Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1985176043987?aff=oddtdtcreator 🧭 **Before the Event** Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, you’ll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**. It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors. This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event. 🌿 **Come Join Us** If you’re tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you. A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat. RSVP now β€” spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
