Workshop: Flex Your Thinking – Techniques for Enhancing Emotional Resilience By Ioana Balcau-Wolters Brussels, 28 January 2026 register here: https://www.imaginationclub.org/brussels/flex_your_thinking.php Emotional resilience helps us bounce back, in one piece, from difficult situations and helps us better respond to stressful or unexpected situations and crises. It is a trait that can be trained, just as we train our body to maintain it in good physical shape. One way to do this is by building cognitive flexibility, which is the brain’s ability to adapt when faced with a new, changed, or unplanned situation -- so that our thinking becomes less rigid. Teaching our brains to be more flexible increases our problem-solving abilities and allows for more effective emotional regulation, leading to more resilience. During this workshop you can expect to: \* Learn what is cognitive flexibility and why it is useful. \* Understand the cognitive triangle (thoughts, emotions and behaviours). \* Discover what are the most common cognitive distortions and how to challenge them. \* Learn a few strategies on how to manage emotions skilfully rather than suppressing or ignoring them. About Ioana Ioana is a trained cognitive-behavioural coach, with a strong foundation in psychology. Along with traditional coaching (goal-oriented), she focuses on emotional self-management such as identifying troublesome emotions, self-defeating behaviours and thoughts by using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC). Originally from Romania, she completed her master’s degree in Berlin and spent over a decade in the corporate world, of various well-known German companies, as a consultant. Along with her relocation to Brussels, she decided to follow her longtime interest in psychology and neuroscience and is now supporting others in building mental strength and personal resilience to better manage challenging circumstances.

Making new friends in a new city doesn’t need to be a struggle at all.

Have you had experiences in your life that ended up leaving you with a sense of meaninglessness? This session will be an opportunity to unpack and explore many various ways in which 'meaninglessness' can occur in our lives, including the very idea of 'the meaninglessness of life itself'. But first of all, why frame this session's topic in the negative? Why not 'meaning' or 'meaningfulness'? There might be several reasons, including: 1.) 'Meaninglessness of life' seems to have become a more-important-than-ever issue in our contemporary times, and sociological, psychological and cultural problems as such are also philosophical problems 2.) Our commonly-held view that meaninglessness is something negative can nevertheless be challenged 3.) The idea that in order to understand meaninglessness we should first understand meaning and meaningfulness can be countered with the proposition that by first exploring meaninglessness, we might then have a better chance at understanding what meaningfulness can be. We can arguably identify two broad orders or levels of meaninglessness. One, when we are unable to detect patterns in a situation (such as recurrences, cause and effect, or relationships between sign/symbol and meaning) a situation which we might then describe as chaotic, random, arbitrary, or - in the case of symbol to meaning - nonsense or gibberish. The second order would be when everything does make sense, but we're still left with the question, "So what! What does all of this mean?" We can consider this second level of meaninglessness as 'meta-meaninglessness', or 'existential meaninglessness'. The first order of meaninglessness tends to leave us with a "What?" question, the second with a "Why?" Some (hopefully meaningful!) key questions: • Is any 'sense of meaninglessness'** that might sometimes overwhelm us basically caused by our lack of understanding - is meaninglessness essentially an *epistemological* problem? Culturally-speaking, is humankind currently in a transition period in which religion might no longer sufficiently give us the meaning we need, yet science still has not been able to provide us with ultimate answers? • Is meaninglessness fundamentally a *teleological* problem: "My life has no purpose"? "Life, the universe, even the phenomenon of existence itself, have no purpose"? • Is meaninglessness ultimately a *value* problem: "Life is worthless, life is not worth living"? "What good are humans anyway for the planet"? • Is meaninglessness an *ontological* problem: "No particular thing lasts forever, everything is transitory and everyone and everything will ultimately be totally forgotten" (cf. our theme Amnesia in September 2022)? • Is meaninglessness an inevitable property/consequence of disorder (note this ontological irony!), what we may call a *syntactical* problem: "My life has become so chaotic and unstructured to the point of meaninglessness"? • Do feelings of meaninglessness arise out of our experiences of suffering, cruelty, injustice and indifference - an *ethical* problem: "Life is nothing but unfairness, struggle and suffering..."? How are suffering and meaninglessness related? How are unfairness and meaninglessness related? How are futility and meaninglessness related? How are indifference and meaninglessness related? How can we all - individually and collectively - turn meaninglessness into sources of meaning in our lives? ** Is the commonly-used expression "sense of meaninglessness" an oxymoron? Is this expression moreover a sign that we instinctively try to derive meaning even out of meaninglessness? Illustration: "Atlas-turned-Sisyphus", concept by Alan Woo, executed by ChatGPT

Let's make new friends this New Year! Join us for our Fast-Friending Evening — the easiest, most enjoyable way to meet like-minded ladies and gents without the pressure, awkwardness, or small talk that leads nowhere! **You will need to buy a ticket for attending -** [https://brussels31stjan.eventbrite.co.uk](https://brussels31stjan.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout.

Tanya will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside. \- From 7\.30 to 8\.30 pm\, we will start 'Fast Friending' where our host will ask you to speak to a different attendee every 3 minutes\. You will be able to meet lots of ladies and gentlemen and not be limited to only those sitting or standing next you\. \- After 8\.30 pm you will have time to interact with those you have met as well as others\. \- We are not a close knit tight group\.

**Please update your attendance if you can not join as this game as we need to know the exact number of players.** The script will be decided on the day. Here are a few helpful links for beginners: * [How to play video](https://youtu.be/M-aZP47Nm9g) * [Gameplay video by Good Time Society](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g) * [Characters description](https://wiki.bloodontheclocktower.com/Trouble_Brewing) Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller. A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Geopolitical dynamics increasingly shape the environment in which boards operate, influencing strategic priorities, long-term positioning, and risk awareness. The challenge for many boards is translating this context into structured, forward-looking boardroom discussion. 🤝 Join us for an interactive fireside chat where we will explore what “enough” looks like at board level when geopolitical dynamics start affecting business assumptions, scenarios, and oversight priorities. Special Guests: 🎤 Prof. [Georg Guttmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgguttmann/), Director of Board Programmes (ES-HSG) and Assistant Professor of International Corporate Governance at the [University of St.Gallen](https://www.linkedin.com/company/university-of-st-gallen/) 🎤 [Prof. Rudy Aernoudt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paernoudt/), Co-founder of the [EBAN - European Business Angel Network](https://www.linkedin.com/company/eban-org/), Professor of Corporate Finance at [Ghent University](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ghent-university/), Affiliate Professor at [BMI Executive Institute](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bmiexecutiveinstitute/), former Chief Economist at the [European Commission](https://www.linkedin.com/company/european-commission/) The discussion will centre on practical board-level questions, exploring how geopolitical developments intersect with decision-making, oversight responsibilities, and long-term value creation. We will explore: 🔸 How geopolitics has become a recurring consideration for boards 🔸 How global political developments connect to strategy, risk, and governance 🔸 How boards can strengthen their approach without drifting into short-term reactivity Event details: 📆 29 January 2026 🕕 18:00–19:30 📍 [Comet Meetings](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cometeurope/) – Louise (Pl.

SERENDIP Wellbeing Apéro – A New Ritual to celebrate & end the week! We're giving you something wonderful to look forward to at the end of this month! After you finish work on Friday, 30th January - and before you head out to dinner with your friends/family, come on by to our Wellbeing Studio at 6.30pm. * ***Warm Tea & Relaxing***: Get yourself comfy and relaxed. Slip off your shoes and grab a meditation cushion. Warm tea in-hand, we'll just take a moment and breath. * ***Inspiring Discussion***: Listen and discuss with a short Q&A session with our invited guest speaker as we explore wellbeing in a transformative way. * ***Wine & Connection***: Select a glass of wine (including non-alcoholic options) and some nibbles and continue to relax, connect, and celebrate the end of your work week. **Curious about the theme and guest speaker for this event?** Join us on 30th January for an inspiring chat on ***"Find the Joy in Walking - and more!"*** Manuel Schmitz may already be familiar to you - especially if you follow his walking journey on Instagram and the latest article in the Brussels Times entitled, "I like to read the city". Manuel calls himself a professional and unprofessional walker. "In a very unprofessional way, I walked every street in Brussels by using an old paper map. It took me 4 years, 2.900 km, and around 570 walks to walk Brussels'6,000 streets." Incredible! Manuel has been working and walking as a professional guide for the last 10 years. Walking was essential for his research for his book on architectural history of Brussels ("Monumental") and his first novel ("Nimmerleinstage"). Prior to walking so much, he was sitting more at a desk - as a researcher with a PhD in Political Science. (Note - he says he prefers walking.) Let's get inspired together and chat about Finding the Joy in Walking - how this connects to our wellbeing in more ways that you may imagine! Free to attend - but you need to register your place on the link! Inspiration, tea and a glass of wine are offered to you. This event has limited space and will fill up very quickly. Reserve your meditation cushion today! Join here on Meetup and sign up here to [secure your place](https://www.serendipspa.com/special-events/wellbeingapero)!

**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)

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
