Los 4 Mundos que dirigen tu vida sin que lo sepas
**[Únete al grupo de WhatsApp para recibir el enlace](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPsrqI5o9xrE3EEPwb2DDn)**
**Muchas personas intentan cambiar su vida actuando solo sobre un área: pensar positivo, motivarse más o “esforzarse”. Sin embargo, los resultados no llegan porque la verdadera transformación ocurre cuando comprendes y alineas los distintos niveles que te gobiernan por dentro.**
En este evento descubrirás los **4 Mundos que influyen directamente en tus decisiones, emociones y resultados**, aunque no seas consciente de ello. Entenderlos te permitirá identificar con claridad dónde se están produciendo tus bloqueos y por qué repites ciertos patrones.
Durante la sesión trabajaremos:
* *Qué son los 4 Mundos y cómo interactúan entre sí*
* *Por qué cambiar solo desde uno genera frustración y retrocesos*
* *Cómo detectar en qué mundo está tu principal bloqueo actual*
* *La relación entre hábitos, pensamientos, emociones y propósito*
* *Claves prácticas para empezar a alinearlos de forma consciente*
Este encuentro está dirigido a personas que sienten estancamiento, confusión o repetición de patrones, y que buscan una comprensión más profunda de sí mismas y de su proceso de cambio.
No se trata de hacer más, sino de entender mejor desde dónde estás viviendo.
***Si quieres claridad, dirección y un mapa interno más consciente, este evento es para ti.***

TechFems TechTalks | Unlocking the Power of Data
We have prepared another evening of BI and Data Analytics at [Trainline](https://www.thetrainline.com/), open to everyone.
🚨 **To attend, RSVP at** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617). **This meetup does not accept RSVPs as we track attendance via Eventbrite** this time 🚨
**Agenda**
6:00 PM - Door opens and welcome 👋
6:30 PM - Talks Start
8:00 PM - Socializing & Networking with refreshments and snacks
⚠️ Make sure to **arrive before 6:30 PM**. No one can enter the building after that ⚠️
**🗣️Talks**
1️⃣ **From Chaos to Clarity: Building Your BI Platform**
🎙️ **[Viktoriia Kniazeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoriia-kniazeva-106403161/)**, Technical Consultant at [Omnevo](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omnevo/)
Many organizations accumulate multiple operational systems, each with its own data model, stack, and integration challenges — and BI often becomes an afterthought stitched on top. This session demonstrates how to design and implement a BI platform from scratch, unifying heterogeneous data sources into a reliable, scalable architecture. Based on hands-on experience with systems like Metabase, we examine patterns for creating clean data flows, ensuring trust, and building a foundation that analytics can grow on.
Takeaways:
• BI as Part of System Architecture: Why analytics needs to be architected—not improvised.
• Data Flow Design: Structuring the path from operational systems to actionable insights.
• What to prepare before starting a BI project — the key checks teams often forget
2️⃣ **Dashboards, Data, and “Did It Work?” at Grafana**
🎙️ **[Maria Dubinets](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-dubinets/)**, Senior Data Analyst at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com).
Grafana builds industry-leading tools for observing infrastructure — but how does an observability company observe its own products? This talk explores how Product Data Analytics and Experimentation are structured at Grafana, from high-volume event ingestion to statistically rigorous A/B testing. It will unpack how Grafana’s modern data stack — powered by RudderStack, BigQuery, dbt, Prefect, OpenMetadata, and Grafana itself — creates a scalable, governed, and trustworthy source of product truth. The session will then dive into one of Grafana’s most intricate live product experiments that just finished: testing whether automatically surfacing our Interactive Learning Plugin inside Grafana Cloud increases adoption of Synthetic Monitoring and IRM by moving users from Activation to Engagement. Attendees will see how the experiment was designed, sized, instrumented, and analyzed — and what was learned once the results came in. The talk concludes with a preview of the next onboarding experiment focused on improving Day 2–14 engagement for new Cloud users.
What Attendees Will Learn
• 🏗️ How Grafana structures its product data stack
• 📊 How dashboards evolve into decision systems
• 🧪 How product experiments are designed for rigor
• 🚀 Case Study: The Interactive Learning Plugin Experiment

Charla dirigida a todas aquellas personas que se encuentran viviendo procesos de cambio, transformación o nuevos comienzos. Tanto si estás cerrando una etapa, atravesando una transición vital o simplemente sintiendo que algo dentro de ti te invita a evolucionar, este espacio está pensado para acompañarte.
Un encuentro para quienes desean ganar claridad, recuperar impulso y convertir los momentos de incertidumbre en oportunidades de crecimiento, conciencia y renovación.
En ella exploraremos cómo, en muchos procesos de cambio, el caos no es un error ni un estado del que haya que salir rápidamente, sino una fase necesaria de gestación, en la que algo se está reorganizando internamente antes de tomar forma.
Desde una mirada de crecimiento personal, se abordará:
• por qué a veces sentimos que no avanzamos o que podemos quedarnos ahí para siempre
• cómo reconocer en qué fase del proceso estamos
• y cómo descubrir el propósito que ese cierre viene a cumplir, más allá del dolor o la incomodidad
La charla ofrece un espacio de comprensión y reflexión en torno a los procesos de cierre y transición personal, aportando una mirada más amplia y compasiva sobre las etapas de **cambio** y renacer

Vida Automática – Cumplir expectativas no garantiza sentido
Hay personas que funcionan perfectamente.
Responsables. Productivas. Adaptadas. Desde fuera, todo encaja.
Pero por dentro, algo se siente plano. Sin conflicto… pero sin profundidad. Sin caos… pero sin dirección propia.
La vida automática no se siente dramática.
Se siente correcta. Y ahí está el problema.
Este encuentro no va sobre romper con todo ni tomar decisiones impulsivas.
Va sobre detectar si estás viviendo desde elección consciente o desde programación silenciosa.
En esta sesión exploraremos:
– Cómo se instala el piloto automático sin que lo notes
– Qué señales indican que estás cumpliendo más que eligiendo
– La diferencia entre estabilidad y resignación sofisticada
– Por qué adaptarte demasiado puede desconectarte
– Cómo empezar a introducir microdecisiones conscientes en tu día a día
Este evento es para personas que no están en crisis… pero tampoco están plenamente conectadas.
Para quienes sospechan que su vida funciona, pero no necesariamente les pertenece del todo.
No vamos a hablar de abandonar tu realidad.
Vamos a hablar de habitarla de forma más consciente.
Porque cumplir expectativas puede darte estructura.
Pero solo elegir te da sentido.

Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions
Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences.
Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future.
What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs.
At this free local Meetup event we will talk about:
* What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic.
* Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences?
* How to break away from negativity and focus on the future
* What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions?
Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences.
