OPENING NIGHT: THE COACHING CLUB - coach and be coached in a creative space
**A one-off special to launch a new series of events š**
**(Update:** We have now scheduled our regular events, you can find all the details and get tickets **[here](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/alltogether)**.)
Jude & Bonny are collaborating to bring coaching to **everyone**.
Why? **Full story on [Substack.](https://open.substack.com/pub/experimentsingroupwisdom/p/create-the-event-you-wish-existed)**
In brief, they believe:
* Coaching can be life enhancing, inspiring, creative, and fun
* Everyone can learn coaching skills
* Having the experience of both coaching and being coached is doubly valuable
* Peer-to-peer connections are special :-)
**At THE COACHING CLUB, we will:**
* Learn a new skill (drawing on Judeās expertise and experience as a coach)
* See how it works in a short demo
* Practice in pairs
* Shuffle the pairs
* Reflect together
Jude and Bonny will guide the process, but you will also receive a tiny booklet for illustration (a Zine by [LESS STRESS PRESS](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress))
For this OPENING NIGHT SPECIAL we will share a method of discovering ālife as a gardenā š
**NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:**
Although weāll be learning new skills we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a thoughtful and interactive evening in a pub.
**WHO SHOULD COME:**
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to create space for one another.
**WHERE WEāLL MEET:**
This event will be at the Earl of Lonsdale Pub on Portobello. The nearest Tube station is Notting Hill Gate.
(Future, smaller events will be in a different pub. You can find them [here](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/alltogether).)

Mid Week, Level 1 NVC Foundation Training, In-Person, London Bridge
Join me for this rare mid-week, 2 day in-person training in London Bridge, where we will dive into the foundational principles and practices of Non Violent Communication (NVC).
Whether your interest is to influence your professional, interpersonal, parental or personal communication style, we will explore together the transformational potential of NVC to support you to see and hear yourself and others from a fresh perspective.
Armed this fresh perspective you will be equipped to find new ways through and around challenging situations that may previously have seemed unimaginable.
**During our 2 days together we will begin to:**
* Get curious about why our current strategies might not be supporting connection
* Discover compassion and understanding for ourselves and others where there was previously blame and criticism
* Find ways to communicate our intentions that are more likely to be heard
* Tune our ears to hear what is really being said
* Get creative about finding solutions to dilemmas that honour everyoneās needs
* Learn and practice in a non judgemental space where you will be seen and heard for your needs
The training will have an experiential focus drawing on small and large group activities and discussions to integrate the learning as a lived experience.

#WPLDN - May 2026: Block Editor Migration & WordPress Security
Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we're tackling two of the more practical conversations happening in WordPress right now. First up, the migration question: how do you move thousands of legacy ACF Flexible Content posts into the block editor without losing your weekend? Then we're shifting gears to security, with a live interview exploring how AI is reshaping both sides of the WordPress security landscape.
š
**Date:** Thursday, 28 May 2026
ā° **Time:** 6:00 PM BST
šļø **Cost:** Free (Registration Required)

**Session 1: How We Automated Migrating Thousands Of Blog Posts From ACF Flexible Content To The Block Editor**
š¤ **Speaker:** Cameron Jones ([cameronjonesweb.com.au](https://cameronjonesweb.com.au))
Before the block editor arrived, ACF's Flexible Content field was the go-to for giving clients control over custom layouts. The block editor now offers a far more powerful experience, but that leaves a familiar problem: how do you migrate thousands of existing posts without manual rebuilds? Cameron will walk through how his team automated the entire process with just a few lines of code.
Cameron Jones is the owner and lead developer of Shortie Designs, a web design agency based in the little beach town of Victor Harbor. With over a decade of experience building websites at various local and international agencies, he acquired Shortie Designs in 2024 to take the leap from developer to business owner.
With a particular speciality in plugin development, Cameron is also the founder of Mongoose Marketplace, where his free and premium plugins have been downloaded over 400,000 times. He also works with the free donation platform Ko-fi to maintain their official WordPress plugin and authored the popular āWordPress Plugin Development For Beginnersā course, which has been taken by almost 1,000 students.

**Session 2: A Conversation with Robert Abela & Tim Nash: WordPress Security, AI & the Human Factor**
š¤ **Speakers:** Robert Abela ([Melapress](https://melapress.com)) and Tim Nash ([WP Security 101](https://wpsecurity101.com))
What are the biggest security challenges facing WordPress today, and how is AI changing the landscape for both attackers and defenders? Robert and Tim join us for a live interview and audience discussion covering modern WordPress security, user account protection, and why user awareness and visibility are becoming critical to keeping sites safe.
Robert Abela is the founder and CEO of Melapress, where he and his team build WordPress plugins that help people manage and keep their websites and users secure.
Tim is a WordPress Security consultant and professional doomspeaker. He teaches WordPress Security through his [wpsecurity101.com](https://wpsecurity101.com) course and provides consultancy services via Tempered Ltd.

\- Do you know your basic purpose?
\- What makes a person's basic purpose?
\- Practical drills to help you define your own basic purpose\.
Pen and paper provided,so - let's get stuck in!!
Using information taken from the book '*Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health*' by L. Ron Hubbard.
*Testimonial:*
*"Great seminar. I liked how you took us through step by step and we found our own basic purposes. It is a common basic purpose for all, I believe. I realised that the spiritual is more important to me than anything else. My purpose is to help others and the webinar validated things I do. I liked how the participants feel free to communicate their situations. My win was that I can use your method to help others find their basic purpose too. Thanks!" - VR*
Maria: I have worked at the Scientology Life Improvement Centre helping and coaching others for over 20 years.
I enjoy this a lot! I have access to tools that anyone can put to use in their life to make the positive improvements that they may be looking for.
I look forward to meeting you.
What can you do after the workshop?
We have various other free services that you could do - such as the free personality test. We also have a lot of Life Improvement Courses. These focus on specific areas of life to help 'unblock' them, put your actual abilities to use!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals⦠all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isnāt more data. Itās often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)ās CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behaviorāmoving people, and moving metrics. Youāll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Then we will go into a topic discussion.
