JTBD (Jobs To Be Done)

Summer is beginning and - slowly inching to higher altitudes - the season for mountain hiking starts! This event is a good example of «true purpose» and «excuse» (i.e. formal purpose) being different: The true purpose, of course, is (1) after-work-drinks, but (2) a look behind the scenes of Zurich Hike & Outdoor is a good excuse, isn't it? **TARGET AUDIENCE:** * Work is done, after-work-drinks are just the right thing now. AND * Your approach has been so far: «Joining a hike is great, but being the host? Nah, rather not.» OR * There are things about organising hikes you always wanted to ask OR * There are not enough hikes to your liking / at your level OR * You are tired of remaining on the waitlist OR * You have thought about maybe organising a hike yourself, but ... errr ... but but but OR * You have seriously thought about becoming a H&O Event Organiser OR * After three drinks you might just accidentally say "Yes". **MEETING:** * 17:00h at the Bierwerk pub * Bierwerk Züri: [https://www.bierwerkzueri.ch/](https://www.bierwerkzueri.ch/) * Bierwerk Züri: Gustav-Gull-Platz 10, 8004 Zürich * Map (getting there from HB): [https://schweizmobil.ch/en/tour/760924908?layers=Station&logos=yes](https://schweizmobil.ch/en/tour/760924908?layers=Station&logos=yes) * Probably the weather will allow to be outside **THE PLAN:** * Drinks * Various topics around being a H&O event organiser * Discuss hiking ideas and plans * Maybe ... become an event organiser **DIFFICULTY:** * The trail from HB to the pub is NOT marked by any hiking signs, I guess it must be T5 or more then! #################### **DISCLAIMER:** You yourself are responsible for the drinks you have and the intoxication they might cause.

Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work. Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback. We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
