Hi all,
We’re going to **Village Cinema Wien Mitte** on **May 1st at 17:30** to watch the film (German version).

A little *Devil Wears Prada* vibe — chic, polished, or slightly elevated everyday style. Miranda, Andy, or just something that makes you feel confident. No pressure, just if you feel like it.

Outdoor Improv-Picknick for Spontaneity & Creative Flow (Session in German)
This is an event for ages 16 and up. Children are not allowed to participate. We cannot guarantee age-appropriate scenes and exercises.
We meet at Donauinsel Coordinates:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/FVhWPCS2ttP4EQ4Q8
We advise you to join the WA-Group because we maybe move to a different meadow. And the exact coordinates where we are will be posted there.
**Stop overthinking and start playing!** 🌿 This session is a soft, safe space to practice being present and letting go of perfectionism. Please note: The main part of this session will be held in **German**.
**Raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Moment!** 🎭 Hast du das Gefühl, oft festzustecken oder alles perfekt machen zu wollen? Improvisationstheater ist das perfekte Training gegen Procrastination und Perfektionismus. Hier lernst du, dem ersten Impuls zu vertrauen und mit dem zu arbeiten, was gerade da ist.
**Outdoor Vitality:** Training by the water is pure mindfulness. Nature helps calm your nervous system and instantly stops overthinking. Fresh air, open space, and improv—the perfect combo to clear your mind and boost your well-being.
**Bonus für Körper & Geist:** Das Training am Wasser ist Achtsamkeit pur. Die Natur hilft dir, das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und das Gedankenkarussell sofort zu stoppen. Frische Luft, weite Sicht und Impro – die beste Kombi, um mentalen Ballast einfach abzuwerfen.
**Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um:
* 🌱 **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken.
* ✨ **Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern".
* 🧠 **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren.
**Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit 1,5 Stunden lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen.
**Wichtig:** Du machst nur das, worauf du Lust hast. Es ist ein Safe Space – keine Vorkenntnisse nötig!
👤 **Host:** Simon Brauner (über 70geleitete Trainings)
Das Event ist kostenlos. Wir freuen uns über Spenden.
The event is free. We welcome donations.
**Komm vorbei, lass den Planungsmodus hinter dir und entdecke die Freude am Moment. Wir freuen uns auf dich! 💚**

Tango Argentino Basics

**Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends)**, we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino focusing not only on what to do, but on how and why we move the way we do in this dance.
✨ **No previous experience required**, just curiosity to work with essential principles that allow you to understand the Tango Argentino language sooner, and adapt easier to real social dance situations.
**✨ Experienced dancers refine technique and efficiency of their movements**
✨ **You can come with or without a dance partner**, and learn the role(s) of your choice (Jessica encourages to learn both).
✨ **Each class is followed by our Focused Práctica**, a guided practice gathering for all levels, where you can take time to socialize and integrate what you learned, ask questions, receive feedback, and practice in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Selbstwert & Sichtbarkeit: selbstbestimmt sichtbar werden - 2-Tages-Workshop
**Selbstwert & Sichtbarkeit**
2.–3. Mai 2026 | Wien
Ein Workshop von und mit Michael Rosenberg - Coach, Speaker & Visionär.
Du hast Talent, aber ein Sichtbarkeits-Thema.
Du weißt viel, du kannst viel.
Und trotzdem hältst du dich zurück.
Dieser Workshop ist kein Rhetoriktraining. Kein „Stell dich mal vorne hin“.
Es ist ein Raum für echte Arbeit an DIR:
• deinem Selbstwert
• deiner Präsenz
• deiner inneren Klarheit
• deiner Wirkung
Zwei Tage, um zu erleben, wie es sich anfühlt, nicht angepasst sichtbar zu sein, sondern selbstbestimmt.
Wir arbeiten in einer kleinen Gruppe (max. 10 Teilnehmer). Das schafft Tiefe. Verbindung. Echtheit.
Wenn du spürst, dass du dich nicht länger kleiner machen willst, dann ist das dein Raum.
📍 Wien
💶 € 280
🔗 Anmeldung: [info@rosenberg.vision](info@rosenberg.vision)

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Columbus, Ohio
From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill.
Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out.
Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**.

**Our Speakers**
**Lachandra Baker** Founder of LBB Edutainment and the kind of person who makes you realize you’ve been confusing confidence with performance your whole life. Lachandra blends psychology, research, and radical humanity to help individuals and teams stop code-switching their way through the day and start showing up as someone they actually recognize. Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath.
**Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there.
**Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab.
**Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow.
**Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes.
**Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it. She asks the questions most people are afraid to, creates space for honest reckoning, and somehow makes the hard work feel energizing. If you’ve ever wondered why doing everything right still feels like something’s missing, you’re in exactly the right room.
**Why Confidence Lab?**
Confidence is the foundation for success in every area of life. Whether you’re navigating a career change, launching a business, or striving for personal growth, building your confidence is the key to unlocking your higher purpose. This is your chance to invest in yourself and start living boldly.
