⚠ Paid event - buy your ticket [here](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/playful-public-speaking-2-x-weekly-drop-in-wednesday-saturday-tickets-1987993897262) ⚠ Most public speaking classes will teach you to sound like a politician, a CEO, or a TED talk. Polished. Performative. A version of yourself wearing a suit. We're not doing that. If you want a class that's playful, varied, and treats you like a whole human rather than a presentation to be optimised, you've come to the right place. 🎉 **Our philosophy 🧠** Somewhere along the way, most of us learnt that it isn't quite safe to be ourselves in front of others. Here's the thing nobody tells you: you can't *learn* to be yourself. You already are yourself. The question isn't how to stand, where to put your hands, or how to walk across a stage. The real question is, why don't we feel safe enough to express who we already are? This class is about liberating you from your own social inhibitions. The goal? Get to a place where it makes no difference whether you're speaking to a close friend over coffee or addressing a room of 20 strangers. Imagine that. An audience with no power over your behaviour, no influence over your nervous system. That's freedom. 🕊️ **Who is it for? 👇🏽** * You go quiet the moment all eyes turn to you 😶 * You've done public speaking courses that felt fake or formulaic 🥱 * You want to be more yourself everywhere: in conversations, presentations, dates, meetings 🗣️ * You like learning through play, not lectures 🎲 You enjoy the company of curious, kind humans 🤝 * You're already a confident speaker but want to lose the performative edge ✨ No experience needed. No "level" required. Just show up. **What's in it for you? 🎁** * A nervous system that stays calm whether you're talking to one person or twenty 🧘 * The ability to speak from yourself, not from a memorised script 💭 Confidence that doesn't depend on the audience being friendly 💪 * A weekly playground for finding your voice 🎢 * New friendships with people doing the same brave work alongside you 🫂 **How does it work? 🛠️** A weekly drop-in class. Come once, come every week, come when life lets you. Each session includes: * Warm-up games to drop the day at the door 🎲 * Playful improv-style speaking exercises 🎭 * Questions that get you speaking from somewhere real 💬 Debates that loosen the grip of having to be "right" 🤔 * A different shape every week, so it never feels like a repeat 🔄 You'll be on your feet. You'll be laughing. You'll occasionally surprise yourself. Bring water and an open mind. 💧 **What to expect 🌟** A room where nobody's grading you. No "good" speaker or "bad" speaker labels. No critique sandwiches. No pressure to perform. We're aiming for liberation, not perfection. We laugh *with* each other, never *at* each other. What happens in the room stays in the room. 🤫 **Facilitator 🎙️** This event is being run in collaboration with [Gently Speaking](https://www.meetup.com/gentle-public-speaking/) and facilitated by James, a Deeper Connections regular who's spent serious time thinking about what makes speaking feel free rather than forced. **Ready to find your voice? 🎤** Not the polished one. Not the professional one. Not the one you put on for job interviews. Your actual voice. Join us. We'd love to have you. 👋 **About Deeper Connections** We have a mission at Deeper Connections to improve the quality of people's lives through conversation. All our events are centred around the concept of connecting deeply, because we believe we all deserve to be seen, felt and understood for who we really are. To have the 'deeper conversation' approach when relating with others can change our lives and can change the world. **Our Values** * **Respect:** Treat everyone with kindness and consideration. ❤️ * **Open-mindedness:** Be open to different perspectives and ideas. * **Active Participation:** Share your thoughts and engage in meaningful discussions. ️ **Staying in touch** Interested in finding out about all the events sooner than on Meetup or staying in touch beyond the events, you can join our WhatsApp channel and community using [Deeper Connections WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6CBAdIN9ijrEYdv33z) [Deeper Connections WhatsApp Community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/EqGsmF3021RKTwBpGcuR80)

Join us for a forward-looking conversation with design leaders exploring how AI, and increasingly autonomous agents, are reshaping how design teams work, collaborate, and create. **Speakers** **David Goligorsky - Senior Staff Product Designer, Shopify** David Goligorsky is a Senior Staff Product Designer at Shopify, working on the mobile app and AI-powered product initiatives. With nearly 20 years of experience across agencies, startups, and global companies, he focuses on turning ambiguity into shipped products and exploring new design workflows in the AI era. Previously, David was Principal Designer at Spotify, Senior Design Director at IDEO New York, and Head of Design at a Google Ventures–backed startup. He has also partnered with early-stage companies, including a venture spun out of IKEA, and has led multidisciplinary teams building products used by millions. He has guest lectured at Harvard, MIT, and Yale, and holds an MS from Stanford University and a BS from Boston University. **Adam Williams - Head of Experience Design, Lloyds Banking Group** Adam Williams is Head of Experience Design at Lloyds Banking Group, where he leads multidisciplinary design teams shaping digital banking experiences for millions of customers. He focuses on combining user research, design strategy, and cross-functional collaboration to create intuitive, customer-centred financial journeys that support the bank’s broader digital transformation. **Event Overview** Join us for an insightful panel discussion examining how modern design teams are adopting AI tools and agentic systems to accelerate workflows, expand creative possibilities, and rethink collaboration. **01 - How Design Teams Are Adopting AI** Explore how design teams are integrating AI into everyday workflows, from research and ideation to prototyping and delivery, and what separates meaningful adoption from surface-level experimentation. **02 - Working with Agents: Designing for Autonomy & Trust** Examine how designers collaborate with intelligent agents that can reason, act, and adapt. Learn what designers must consider around transparency, control, reliability, and UX when introducing autonomy into creative and product processes. **03 - The Future of Design Team Collaboration** Discover how AI is reshaping team structures, roles, and skill sets. We’ll discuss how designers partner with engineers, researchers, and machines, and what design leadership looks like in an AI-native organisation.

**📣**AI didn’t just change how we build products, it exposed the cracks in how we design, ship, and make decisions. **This meetup brings together three perspectives on the real challenges of AI products:** getting users to use them effectively, managing unpredictability and trust, and rethinking product strategy when execution is no longer the constraint. Together, these talks shift the focus from technology to judgment, design, and product thinking. \#\# Agenda: **18:00** \- Gather & Mingle\. **18:30** \- Opening remarks\. **18:40** -"**Shipping AI features isn’t enough**" by Ellie Jacobs, Product Director LTX @ Lightricks **19:00** - **"Shipping Products That Are Almost Right"** by Meital Kochawi Levin, Senior Product Manager @ Bringg **19:20** - **"Product Strategy in the AI Era"** by Hadas Sheinfeld, VP Product @ ProductX.biz **19:40** \- Networking & Mingle Time **20:00**\- Close 🗣️First talk by **Elli Jacobs** **"Shipping AI features isn’t enough"** Users often fail to get value from AI-based features, because they don’t use them “correctly.” This talk explores the hidden gap between capability and usage, and how product teams can design experiences that guide users toward better outcomes without adding friction or requiring education. It’s about turning AI from something impressive into something reliably useful. 🗣️ Second talk by **Meital Kochawi Levin** **"Shipping Products That Are Almost Right"** Long before LLMs, non-deterministic systems forced teams to grapple with unpredictability, trust, and imperfect outcomes. This talk distills hard-earned lessons into a practical framework for building and managing such products—defining where accuracy matters, designing for failure, and turning users into active contributors to improvement. It offers a grounded approach to making “unreliable” systems feel dependable. 🗣️ Third talk by **Hadas Sheinfeld** **"Product Strategy in the AI Era"** AI hasn’t changed the essence of product strategy, but it has removed many of the constraints that once shaped it. As execution becomes easier, the real challenge shifts to prioritization, judgment, and building long-term advantage. This talk redefines how to think about strategy in a world where speed is no longer a differentiator, and exposes the gap between teams that truly have a strategy and those that never did. \#\# Audience: * CPO * VPs * Head of Product * Product Director * Product Pros 👉 Join us for an insightful and inspiring meetup packed with practical takeaways. \* The number of seats is limited , so do hurry up and book yours. \*\* Prior to the meetup, you will receive an email containing a QR code, which you will be required to present upon entry to the event. \*\*\*We’re aware of the Tube strikes in London next week, but fortunately, from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, train services are expected to operate as usual, so there should be no difficulty getting to the meetup.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
