Instructional Design

This supportive program invites men to come together in a safe and respectful space to share experiences, explore challenges, and reflect on what matters most in their lives. Participants are welcome to bring a topic of their own or simply speak about what’s happening for them in the moment. Guided discussion topics may include navigating masculinity, communication styles, understanding personal needs and the needs of others, building resilience, connecting with emotions, and clarifying values—along with other issues that commonly impact men in relationships and daily life. When a topic is raised, participants are encouraged to explore how it relates to their own experiences, offering insights and reflections in a way that supports learning and growth. The facilitator participates alongside the group, modeling respectful sharing, open discussion, and thoughtful reflection, ensuring that everyone feels heard and empowered to engage at their own pace.

GRILLZ LAB INTRO TO CUSTOM GRILLZ JEWELLERY Hosted by Marie Grillz This hands on workshop introduces the creative process behind custom grillz as a form of wearable jewellery sculpture. Participants will learn how artists design and prototype grillz using wax-carving techniques commonly used in jewellery manufacturing. The session focuses on wax material experimentation and translating a personal aesthetic into a wearable metal object. You will be working on a pre-made dental plaster impression provided for practice. If you wish to create a personal impression of your own teeth, you may choose to take a mould of your own teeth prior to the workshop. * This must be performed by a professional dentist. Please contact Marie if you require assistance finding a dentist. This workshop is intended for creative education and jewellery making and not a dentistry course. About Your Instructor: Jennifer is the designer and grillz artist behind Marie Grillz. With a Bachelor in Fashion Enterprise, Fashion Design, Jewellery manufacturing, and mentorship from an established Australian grillz jeweller, Jennifer specialises in translating fashion aesthetics into precious metal mouth jewellery. Jennifer’s main research during her university degree was exploring body adornment. Taking this into her jewellery career, her art sits between fashion accessory and body adornment, and she will be teaching the same creative prototyping methods she uses in her studio practice. What You’ll Do: You will create a wax prototype for a grillz jewellery piece the stage used by jewellers before metal casting. Workshop Outline: * Welcome & Intro * Overview of the session * History of Grillz * Looking at sample grillz styles * Discuss design possibilities, materials, and what’s achievable in wax * Pouring plaster moulds to get a good impression mould * Wax melting and carving for grillz * Troubleshooting fitting issues Important Details: * All participants work on pre-made models, not their own teeth. * The metal grillz piece is decorative only and will NOT fit your teeth. * If you wish to bring your own model, it is your responsibility to arrange this with a licensed dental professional not with Marie grillz * This workshop is for beginners only — polishing, metal casting, or dental impression work will not be taught, though relevant information will be shared. * All activities are creative and jewellery-focused. FAQ What do I need to bring? * A notebook (optional, if you like jotting things down) * Positive energy and an open mind ✨ Dress code: * Comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting dirty * Closed toe flat shoes only (no sandals or heels) * Bring a hair tie if you have long hair Experience level: The workshop is beginner-friendly and guided step by step, so whether it’s your first time or you’ve worked with jewellery before, you’ll be supported throughout. What you will receive at the end of the workshop: * Grillz in person workshop notes * Grillz booklet on how to make grillz and everything I’ve learnt during my journey in the industry Take home two creations: 1. Your wax model 2. A decorative metal grillz piece made from your wax design Can’t wait to share my knowledge with you all 🫶

For our March meetup we are excited to host Darryl Wright who will demonstrate how you really can deliver 3 yr projects in 3 months using Value Stream Mapping and Flow Efficiency. Find out what other organisations are doing to slash the time it takes them to deliver value, and how you can do it too. This talk explores: 1\. What is Value Stream Mapping \(VSM\)\, and Flow Efficiency ? 2\. What does VSM reveal about how most organisations deliver value today ? 3\. The big lightbulb moment: can 3 yr projects really be delivered in 3 months? \(hint: yes\!\) 4\. Where to from here ? \(and can I use AI to help with all of this ?\) And then, as we always highly encourage participation to embed what we learnt, we'll give the method a go ourselves with Darryl's expert guidance. **Meet your Speaker - Darryl Wright, Value Delivery Advisor and Trainer at Organa** *The only constant in life is change.* Darryl comes from a strong commercial and delivery background borne from two decades of experience in traditional IT project and program management and running IT businesses. This led him on a journey to find more successful and humane ways of working, becoming an Enterprise Agile coach and trainer. He is now a passionate champion of changing the way the world works. His guiding vision is to assist organisations to become great places to work that have happy, effective staff who create brilliant products and services that their customers love.

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that. As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact? Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter.

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here!
