The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development
**About this event:**
Join us on 26 March in Vienna for an evening where we'll explore how leaders actually develop capability - not in classrooms, but inside work itself.
**Agenda:**
**16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles**
**16:30 – The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development**
* Why traditional leadership development isn't transferring to practice
* What leaders actually need in 2026 (and it's not just another model)
* What workflow embedded skills development actually looks like - real examples from teams we've worked with
**17:30 – Interactive Workshop: Building the Leadership Skills Your Organisation Needs**
* Learn about ways to build people skils hands-on
* Work through a real leadership challenge with peers
* Leave with practical next steps for your context
**19:30 – Networking**
* Wine, food (gluten-free and vegan options available)
* Connect with people facing similar challenges
**16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles**
**Why this matters**
Leadership development is broken. Organisations invest heavily, leaders attend programmes, certificates get handed out - and then nothing changes.
The problem isn't lack of frameworks. It's the gap between learning and doing.
In the coming years, leadership development must shift from event-based training to workflow-embedded practice.
At Kokoro, we've spent years answering one question: how do you empower leaders to create the conditions for sustained performance, genuine motivation, and teams that thrive?
At this event, we bring leaders, teams, L&D professionals, and organisations who are committed to making that shift. Together, we will develop steps to make it real.
**Who is this for**
You're leading a team, department, or organisation. You're in L&D and see that traditional programmes aren't transferring to practice. You run an SME and need practical ways to develop leaders without the corporate overhead.
You've sent people to leadership programmes and watched them return motivated, and then not being able to transfer the skills in to work. You know the theory-practice gap is real. You want skills development that builds into daily workflows, not outside them.

**About Kokoro**
Kokoro was founded in 2018 because we believed the way performance is measured and optimised is broken. We work with leaders and teams to build resilient, high-performing cultures where people can learn, grow, and thrive - even amid complexity and change.
We do this through our team and leadership development software and services like one-on-one coaching, team development, organisational consulting that help leaders turn intention into habit. Our approach draws on evidence from flow theory, motivation science, neurobiology, and real-world practice with teams across various industries and sizes.
Visit [bekokoro.com](https://www.bekokoro.com/) to learn more.
**Join the Kokoro community**
This is our first of 4 gatherings in 2026 - a chance to (re)connect with people making real change happen, and to introduce you to what we're building. If the culture and performance challenges you face resonate, we'd love to work with you.
Looking forward to seeing you on 26 March.

die ersten Blumen in der Perchtoldsdorfer Heide
Dear friends,
In the Perchtoldsdorfer Heide we can already see protected flowers like "adonis and pasque flower" (see photos), the typical vegetation in dry grasslands. Migration-birds begins to come back, I heard already the voices of chaffinch and blackcap and every week we can expect more species.
I hope to see you again, after this long time, in good health and with big motivation.
Let us meet at the end of **Tramway 60 in Rodaun at 10:00**
If the weather is really warm, it will be usefull to bring drinking bottles because there is no restaurant in the Heide.
But we can visit one after hiking, on the return to the station, crossing the city of Perchotldsdorf.
Happy to see you soon
Adi
Liebe Leute,
In der Perchtoldsdorfer Heide blühen bereits Blumen, die für Trockenrasengebiete typisch sind. Es sind geschütze Arten, wie der Frühlingsadonis, oder die Kuhschelle.
Die ersten Zugvögel kommen bereits zurück, ich konnte schon die Stimmen von Buchfink und Mönchsgrasmücke hören. Und jede Woche kommen nun weitere Arten hinzu.
Nach dieser langen Zeit freue ich mich darauf, möglichst viele von euch bei guter Gesundheit wieder zu sehen und mit frischem Mut.
Wir treffen uns bei der Endstation der **Linie 60 in Rodaun um 10:00**
Wenn das Wetter warm ist, empfehle ich, eine Trinkflasche mitzunehmen, da es in der Heide keine Gaststätte gibt. Wir können aber nach unserer Tour eine aufsuchen, auf dem Rückweg zur Station, der durch Perchtoldsdorf führt.
Liebe Grüße und bis bald
Adi

Founder Reflection Night — The Human Side of Entrepreneurship
**Feeling Stuck, Overwhelmed or at a Crossroads?**
***The Inner Friction of Building Something***
Building a venture or project often means stepping into unfamiliar territory.
There is rarely a clear roadmap, and many decisions have to be made without having all the answers yet.
In those moments, the biggest challenges are not necessarily external. Quite often they appear internally — as quiet doubts, second-guessing, or the sense of standing in front of too many possibilities without knowing where to begin.
Entrepreneurs frequently experience moments where they question whether they are truly ready for the role they have stepped into. At other times, there can be pressure to already have answers that are still unfolding, or hesitation to act because the next step feels unclear. When many possibilities are present at once, it can also become difficult to decide where to start.
During this evening, we will explore how these internal pressures influence **the way we think, decide, and take action while building something new.**
We will reflect on questions such as:
**Where am I currently in my project or venture?**
At what moments in my work do I start questioning myself the most?
* When facing uncertainty, do I tend to move forward, hesitate, or wait for more clarity?
* When do doubt, overwhelm, or overthinking begin to slow down my progress?
* What helps me regain perspective and momentum when things feel unclear?
* *What kind of support, structure, or perspective could help me move forward?*
The goal is not to solve these experiences in one evening, but to recognize them and open an useful dialogue, exchanging perspectives with others who are navigating similar challenges.
**A Space for Different Ways of Thinking**
Entrepreneurs often think differently — sometimes very differently.
Many founders and creatives identify as neurodivergent, including people with ADHD or other attention styles. Experiences such as racing ideas, overwhelm, or difficulty prioritizing can be especially common when building something new.
This space welcomes both neurotypical and neurodivergent participants. Different ways of thinking and approaching challenges are not only accepted here — they are valued.
The format of the evening is designed to be flexible, reflective, and conversational, allowing everyone to participate in a way that feels comfortable.
**What to Expect**
The evening will be relaxed, thoughtful, and interactive.
A typical flow may include:
**Short introduction**
A brief overview of the group and the upcoming Founder Growth Lab.
**Entrepreneur check-in**
Participants share what they are currently building or exploring.
**Reflection exercise**
A short guided reflection to explore where you are in your entrepreneurial journey and the internal barriers and moments of hesitation that come along the way.
**Small group conversations**
Participants exchange perspectives and experiences.
**Open discussion**
Space for insights, questions, and shared observations.
**Closing & outlook**
A short introduction to the upcoming Founder Growth Lab series.
**Who This Event Is For**
This gathering may resonate with you if you are:
* *small business owner*
* *an entrepreneur, freelancer, founder, or creator*
* *developing a business idea – or more, a product , or a project*
* *interested in personal growth alongside professional growth*
* *curious about how mindset, habits, and energy influence your work*
* *open to thoughtful conversations with other builders*
You do not **need to have a fully developed business or startup.**
We value curiosity and openness just as much as experience.
**Practical Details**
Doors open around 18:30, and we aim to start around 18:45.
The structured part of the evening will finish around 21:00, with some informal time afterward for those who would like to stay and continue conversations.
**A Small Note**
The event will be held in German or English, depending on the language most participants prefer. If the group is mixed, we will adapt so everyone can comfortably take part in the conversation.
This is not a networking mixer or traditional business workshop.
It is a space for reflection, exchange, and meaningful conversation among people who are building something — and growing along the way.
Kindness, curiosity, and mutual respect are the foundation of the space we want to create together.
✨Weekly Co-Working Session in Vienna – Get It Done Together (1–5PM)
Looking for consistent rhythm in your work? Been putting something off for too long?

This is a **reliable**, safe, supportive in-person space to move through procrastination with presence and companionship. Whether you’re working on admin tasks, tax returns, writing, creative/coding projects, or simply clearing up your inbox — bring whatever needs getting done and we’ll focus gently beside you. After a 30' intro and goal setting session, we will go through 3 **Pomodoro** **sessions** of 45' focused work and 15' breaks in between.
🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor long table: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna
💻 **Bring**: Your laptop(& charger), journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on
🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5.
Donations to support the community are voluntary and welcome.
🌱 **What to Expect**
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City**

* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive, or join us for the 30' intro session where we introduce ourselves and share our goals for the day
* **Enough spaces**: main table is for quiet focus, multiple nearby tables for casual conversation, and sofa's in the back for taking video calls(be mindful that the hotel music is always on in the background). After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, we can move to a social area for a relaxed break
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45' focus blocks followed by 15' social breaks. If 45' feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20' focus sessions with a short 5' reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.

Frauen*kreis / Women* Circle
*english below*
**Frauen\*kreis \| Vertrauen ins Unbekannte**
**Sonntag\, 29\.03\. \| 12:00–14:00 Uhr**
**Sprache:** Englisch oder Deutsch, je nach Teilnehmerinnen.
Komm am Sonntag, den 29.03., zu einem kleinen und intimen Frauen\*kreis zum Thema Vertrauen ins Unbekannte — in Momenten, in denen wir noch nicht wissen, was kommt, in Phasen der Veränderung und überall dort, wo das Leben uns einlädt, loszulassen und dem Neuen zu vertrauen.
Unsere Frauen\*kreise bieten einen unterstützenden und bewussten Raum, um langsamer zu werden, tiefer in Verbindung zu kommen und zu teilen, was gerade in uns präsent ist. Jedes Treffen ist einem vorab gewählten Thema gewidmet, das wir durch Gespräch, Reflexion sowie sanfte körper- und atembasierte Übungen erkunden. Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung — nur die Bereitschaft, so anzukommen, wie du bist.
Wir beginnen gemeinsam mit einer Tasse Tee und nehmen uns etwas Zeit, um anzukommen, uns aufzuwärmen und sanft in den Raum hineinzufinden.
(Für mehr Informationen schau dir bitte die Gruppenbeschreibung an.)
Jeder Kreis ist auf maximal sechs Frauen\* begrenzt, damit jede genug Raum hat, um zu sprechen, zuzuhören und gehört zu werden.
Willkommen sind alle, die sich in irgendeiner Weise mit dem Begriff Frau oder FLINTA identifizieren oder identifizieren möchten.
**Wichtig:** Wir sitzen auf dem Boden auf einer japanischen Matte. Es gibt einige Kissen, aber bring dir bitte gern ein eigenes Kissen und/oder eine Decke mit, wenn du es bequemer haben möchtest. Falls das Sitzen auf dem Boden für dich nicht angenehm ist, gibt es auch Stühle und ein Sofa :)
Bitte versuche, pünktlich zu kommen, damit wir gemeinsam anfangen und gemeinsam beenden können.
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
**Women’s Circle \| Trusting to Unknown**
**Sunday\, 29\.03\. \| 12:00–14:00**
**Language:** English or German, depending on the participants.
Join us on Sunday, 29.03., for a small and intimate women\* circle centered around the theme of trusting the unknown — in moments when we do not yet know what is coming, in times of change, and wherever life invites us to let go and trust what is new.
Our women\* circles offer a supportive and intentional space to slow down, connect more deeply, and share what is present within us. Each gathering is centered around a preselected topic, which we explore through conversation, reflection, and gentle body- and breath-based practices. You do not need any prior experience — only a willingness to arrive as you are.
We will begin with a cup of tea together and take some time to land, warm up, and gently arrive in the space. (For more information, check out the group description. )
Each circle is limited to a maximum of six women\*, so that everyone has space to speak, listen, and be heard.
This circle welcomes all who identify, or wish to identify, in any way with the term woman or FLINTA.
**Important:** We will be sitting on the floor on a Japanese-style mat. Some cushions will be available, but please bring your own pillow and/or blanket if you would like extra comfort. If sitting on the floor is not comfortable for you, chairs and a sofa are also available :)
Please try to arrive on time so that we can start and finish together.
AI Salon - THE LAST CEO
**THE LAST CEO**
What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office?
A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at.
The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite?
We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\.
**Programme:**
🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab
💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas
🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist)
🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no? Then you design the org chart of 2030.
🎉 **Afterparty & Networking**

The Mezze Table
A mix of cultures, stories and ideas
**The Mezze Table – A Cultural Dinner with Meaningful Conversations**
**Some of the best conversations in life happen around a table.**
**The Mezze Table is a structured social event where we come together to share food and real conversations.**
**The evening is gently guided with a few thoughtful conversation prompts that help people connect more naturally.**
**Only 10 seats are available.**
**At the center of the table we share traditional Lebanese mezze such as Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, and Tabbouleh.**
**The word mezze itself comes from the Mediterranean and refers to a collection of small dishes served together. But the idea behind the Mezze Table goes a bit further.**
**Just like a mezze table brings together different flavors, this evening brings together a mix of cultures, languages, experiences, and ideas.**
**Meals in the Middle East are rarely eaten alone. Food is shared, stories are exchanged, and conversations often go deeper than the usual “What do you do for work?”**
**To make the evening welcoming for everyone, we start with a few simple introductions and then explore a couple of conversation prompts during the dinner.**
**Past prompts have included questions like:**
**• What place in the world has changed how you see life?**
**• What is a tradition from your culture that people should know about?**
**• What are some gestures in your culture people often misunderstand?**
**What to expect**
**• Shared Lebanese mezze**
**• A small international group (max. 10 guests)**
**• Conversations in English**
**• A relaxed evening with thoughtful dialogue and cultural exchange**
**Hosted by Lydia**
**I work in leadership and resilience training and spend much of my professional life helping people have better conversations.**
**Over time I noticed something simple: the most interesting conversations rarely happen in meeting rooms.**
**They happen around tables.**
**The Mezze Table is a small experiment in bringing people together through food, culture, and curiosity.**
**Contribution**
**€15 includes the mezze.**

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
The Graduate
This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations.
After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
