(*English Below*) Si te cuesta concentrarte, le das demasiadas vueltas a las cosas o te sientes agobiado por la vida y el trabajo, este es un punto de partida sencillo y sin compromisos. Todos los lunes nos reunimos en el parque de Poblenou para meditar juntos. Empezamos con un breve momento para compartir: qué te ocupa esta semana o qué necesitas, antes de pasar a una meditación guiada adaptada a lo que el grupo aporta. Terminamos con preguntas y una charla abierta. Abierto a todos los niveles, no hace falta traer nada y es totalmente gratuito. Clases en ESP o ING segun necesidades 😊 Sobre tu guía: Fritz es un antiguo consultor medioambiental y ahora profesor certificado de mindfulness (acreditado por la Asociación Internacional de Profesores de Mindfulness (IMTA) y por el Programa de Certificación de Profesores de Meditación Mindfulness (MMCTP) de Jack Kornfield y Tara Brach).

(english) Lacking concentration, overthinking a lot or overwhelmed by life and work too often, then this is a simple, low-pressure place to start. Every Monday we meet in the Poblenou parc to meditate together. We begin with a short check-in, what's coming up for you this week, or what you need, before moving into a guided meditation shaped around what the group brings. We close with questions and open conversation. Open to all levels, no need to bring anything and completely free of charge. Classes in ENG or SP according to needs 😊 **About your coach;** Fritz is a certified mindfulness teacher accredited by the International Mindfulness Teachers Association (IMTA) and Jack Kornfields and Tara Brach’ Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMCTP).

This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
