***English***
Are you new in town and looking to meet people in a relaxed, welcoming way?
Join us at Nomad House for an easygoing afternoon designed to help newcomers connect, hang out, and feel at home — followed by an open deck to close the day.
[Sign up as a DJ for the open deck!](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4xV6kUN9ISBmfR5ZSDJp0mRqKZLQ_zs1-wQzAbqVy6jIw5Q/viewform?usp=header)
At the meetup you can meet other people who are also new to the city (or just open to meeting new faces). No pressure, no formal networking — just good conversations in a cozy space.
As the night progresses, we’ll smoothly transition into more and more of an open deck session, where any DJ can play music and keep the vibe going into the afternoon.
This event is perfect if you:
• Just moved to the city
• Want to meet people in a low-key, friendly setting
• Enjoy music, community vibes, or just feel like dancing
• Are curious about the BENE-FIT community
Location: Nomad House
Music: Open Deck
First time attending?
This event is very first-timer friendly. Many people come alone, and there’s no expectation to “network,” pitch, or know anyone beforehand. You can join conversations at your own pace, grab a seat, and simply enjoy the atmosphere.

En el meetup podrás conocer a otras personas que también son nuevas en la ciudad (o simplemente abiertas a conocer caras nuevas). Sin presión, sin networking formal, solo buenas conversaciones en un espacio acogedor.
A medida que avanza la tarde, iremos pasando de forma natural a una sesión de open deck, donde cualquier DJ puede pinchar y mantener el buen ambiente durante la tarde.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy*
You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life.
The problem isn't you. It's the format.
Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built.
Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else.
*That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real.
There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking.
Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum.
This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic.
You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation.
**April 14th. RSVP now.**
**When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
**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.*

After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
