Hey. This week's workshop topic is: **"The Founder is the Bottleneck"** Most entrepreneurs don't burn out because they're doing too little. They burn out because they're doing everything - without managing the one resource that actually drives performance: their ENERGY. This session is a practical workshop for founders and professionals who are already working hard and want to stay sharp doing it. **What you'll learn?** * A clear picture of where your energy actually goes * Tools to stay sharp on your worst days, not just your best * One change you can implement the same week * Live Q&A — bring your questions **⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯** **About Christopher Knoll** * Certified CBC (cognitive behaviour coach), executive coach and NLP practitioner * Mentor at Criteo * 4x founder * 19 years working in startup and corporate environments * Ex- Harley Davidson, Pepe Jeans, Google & Criteo **After Workshop** We'll continue with our regular networking meetup structure. **⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯** Join our Community (10,000+ Members) **WhatsApp:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2V5hTCakTFA8BdNHKg05L](https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2V5hTCakTFA8BdNHKg05L) This week's in-person workshop is at the ICON Hotel. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **LOCATION:** Near Plaza Catalunya (5 mins walk) **NO LIMIT:** You're welcome to bring friends **PRICE:** €7 includes a drink \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- *\*\*paid at the entrance, you can redeem at the bar.* Our goal is to create a community of fellow entrepreneurs where: * we can discuss new ideas * be inspired * do business together * and support each other.

**Insight Circle** Connect deeply, developing greater intimacy, with yourself and others, in this **Relational** **Mindfulness Practice** in the form of a conversation. We will practice **observing without judgement**, what’s happening in us and between us, in the moment, as we relate to each other. **Observing sensations, emotions and thoughts** so that we get a complete picture of what it’s like to be us. In this way, we learn to **lead ourselves** through **greater awareness** of the moment, and cultivate our own **inner knowing**. Through exercises introduced at the beginning of each session, we will gradually develop our capacity together to **be present** with what is and listen deeply to ourselves and others. **This practice can help you:** * Connect to your emotions, and * Be more at ease and alignment in your body and mind. * Get inspiration. * Develop intuition to help you make decisions. * Improve your relationships and connect with others on a much deeper level. * Become unstuck in different areas of your life and take action. I spent many years meditating, but when I discovered this, it felt like a revelation, a missing piece that’s helping me get awareness of how I relate to other and create my life. The practice is based on Circling. You can find further information here: https://www.transformationalconnection.com/ Join us on this beautiful journey of discovering ourselves. **Further Information on participation** Previous experience of these practices is not necessary.

I bring my personal life experience to my work having transitioned career and country to be more in-tune with who I am. I am passionate about helping people connect deeply to themselves, bringing out their creativity and gifts for the world through their work. I have been practicing meditation for over 20 years, and spent 5 years living and helping to facilitate the space at a retreat centre on a tiny island in Scotland, established by a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, one of the pioneers of mindfulness in the UK. I believe meditation and mindfulness are wonderful tools which help people gain clarity and focus by creating a space to listen deeply within. They have certainly helped me a great deal!

In this session, we’ll explore one of the most important and overlooked leadership skills: how to tackle difficult conversations in a way that builds trust, drives growth and sets the standard for the people around you. Too often, conflict is treated as a one-off conversation or a management tool reserved for performance issues. But in reality, the way a leader handles conflict shapes culture. It teaches people what honesty sounds like, what care looks like and whether growth feels safe. Together, we’ll explore four common ways people experience challenging conversations in the workplace. We’ll unpack how each one affects confidence, motivation, trust, and performance and what leaders can do differently to communicate with more intention and impact. This will be a practical, interactive session designed for professionals, founders, managers, team leads, and anyone who wants to communicate more effectively and lead by example. **During the session we’ll cover:** * Why leadership is better understood as an infinite game rather than a short-term win. * The four methods people often use to handle difficult conversations: compassionate clarity, brutal clarity, empty critique, and empty negativity. * How different approaches affect trust, confidence, motivation, and action. * Why vague kindness can be just as unhelpful as harsh criticism. **About the Speaker** Saba Shakir is a Leadership Communication and a Learning & Development specialist who designs practical training to improve speaking, interpersonal skills and leadership confidence. She is also President of Women4Space, promoting inclusion and opportunities in the space sector. With a Masters in Linguistics and degree in Social Psychology, she focuses on helping professionals communicate clearly and lead effectively. Her research on building an inclusive space workforce will be presented at IAC Antalya 2026. **Agenda** * Doors open: 7.00pm * Session starts: 7.15pm * Interactive activities and discussion: 7.30pm * Q&A / group reflection: 7.45pm * Networking: 8.00pm **About Let’s Speak Business** Join Let’s Speak Business, where ambitious people come together to strengthen the communication and leadership skills that shape real career growth.
