**• Career shifts** **• Business pivots** **• Identity changes** ***Your Identity is Your Ceiling*** There are moments when your life changes faster than you do. Whether you are launching a new venture, walking away from a career that drained you for years, or scaling a business that has reached its ceiling - internally, you are still operating on the old rules. ***You are trying to build a skyscraper on a foundation designed for a house.*** If your internal rules haven’t caught up to your new stakes, you are actively sabotaging your own results. This isn’t a lack of effort; it is a structural mismatch. You are trapped in a loop of the same mistakes because you are trying to solve new, high-stakes problems with an outdated operating system. BOOKINGS ONLY VIA LUMA [HERE](https://luma.com/pkw4tihd) **The 120-Minute Immersion Architecture: *The Identity Shift*** We are not here for "coaching" or theory. We are here to execute the alignment required for your next chapter to actually hold. **• *Expose the Sabotage*:** Identify the exact internal patterns and "employee-mindset" rules that are currently draining your energy and stalling your progress. **• *Decommission the Old Self*:** Learn the mechanics of closing your previous chapter completely so it stops leaking your resources into the past. **• *Engineering Alignment*:** Recalibrate your internal authority to match the scale of your next move, ensuring your actions and identity are finally congruent. **We ground it with the friendly networking with peers in similar stage.** **THE FILTER: Who Is in the Room?** This is a focused environment designed for a specific caliber of builder: • **The Transitioner**: You are escaping a "stable but soul-draining" chapter and refuse to bring those old, harmful patterns into your new life. • **The New Builder**: You are moving from "employment" to "independence" and need to settle into your new authority before the transition drains you. • **The Pivoting Founder**: You have an existing business but you’ve hit a ceiling of complexity that requires a new way of operating. **ABOUT THE FACILITATOR** Marek Urban has helped 200+ leaders achieve goals and navigate high-stakes transitions without burnout since 2019. With a track record of 2,000+ consultations and 150+ group sessions, he specializes in identifying and removing the patterns that quietly block progress. **PRACTICAL DETAILS** 📅 Wednesday, Jan 28th, 2026 ⏰ 18:30 – 21:30 📍 GroundInn LAB, Carrer dels Flassaders 32, Barcelona 👥 Strictly limited to 15 people 🍷 Snacks, drinks and networking included 🎟️ HOW TO JOIN US 1.

Close your laptop, shake off the stress, and kickstart your weekend with the right energy. This is the very first session of **Barcelona Fitness for Entrepreneurs**, and we want to make it special and free :) We’ve created the perfect transition from "work mode" to "weekend mode"—a space to disconnect from the grind and reconnect with your body and a like-minded community. **The Vibe:** We believe the best way to clear the mind after a busy week is through movement. Come ready to sweat, laugh, and high-five other founders who are also looking to finish the week strong. **The Plan (Friday @ 19:30):** * **The Warm-up:** We leave the emails behind and get the body moving. * **The Session:** A fun, functional movement session in our 300m² playground. It’s designed to boost your endorphins, not to destroy you. (Totally adaptable to all fitness levels). * **The Cooldown:** Good vibes and genuine conversation. No pitches, just people connecting and sharing a drink. **Where:** Rockfit (Movement Lab). **What to bring:** Comfortable clothes, water, and energy. Let’s wrap up the week the best way possible: moving together. See you there!

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years. As a proud Latina, with Venezuelan and Mexican heritage, Mary brings a rich cultural perspective to every choreography she creates. Her dedication to dance is matched only by her commitment to empowering others through the joy and elegance of movement. Mary’s journey began with a simple passion for dancing, which quickly grew into a thriving business. She specializes in crafting personalized choreography for weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens, ensuring each event is unforgettable. Determined to make a significant impact in Ohio, Mary established the first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar location that not only offers a space to practice these beautiful dances but also provides a boutique experience for purchasing or renting exquisite dresses and tuxedos for these special moments. Mary Grace is more than just a business owner; she is a trailblazer for Latina women in the community, dedicated to bringing elegance, joy, and a touch of her vibrant heritage to every event she touches. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
