🚀What if feeling stuck isn’t a problem—but a powerful form of self-protection? Feeling stuck is often seen as a failure or weakness, yet stuckness can actually serve as a powerful form of protection. In this MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar, Stuckness as Protection, you’ll explore how feeling immobilized or uncertain can prevent impulsive decisions, emotional overwhelm, and unhealthy situations. Led by Harald Bartisch, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, this session reframes stuckness as a meaningful pause—one that invites reflection, clarity, and balance. You’ll learn how stuckness can arise from fear, self-doubt, low self-esteem, or external constraints, and how recognizing its protective role can reduce frustration and self-judgment. Through practical insights and NLP-informed strategies such as setting boundaries, gaining clarity, and seeking support, this webinar will help you move from stuckness to empowered, intentional action. 🗓️Join us on **February 8, 2025**, for the MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar “**Stuckness as Protection**” with **Harald Bartisch**, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, as we explore how feeling stuck can guide meaningful change. 🎯 **Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience** ✅Stuckness is not always negative—it can be a form of protection that prevents rash decisions and supports reflection and healing. ✅Getting unstuck begins with identifying the true source of stuckness, whether it’s fear, self-doubt, protection, or external factors, and applying intentional strategies to address it. 🎯 **Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits** ✅Stuckness as a signal: Learn to see stuckness as useful information rather than resistance or failure. ✅Boundaries restore balance: Discover how healthy boundaries reduce burnout and support forward movement. ✅Clarity creates momentum: Gain tools to clarify values and goals, reducing indecision and fear. ✅Small steps matter: Break overwhelm into manageable actions that rebuild confidence. ✅Support accelerates growth: Understand the role of coaches, mentors, and community in navigating stuckness effectively. **ABOUT THE SPEAKER**🎤 Harald Bartisch has more than 30+ years of experience in engineering, industrial plant construction projects, thereof 20+ years in managing production companies, leading staff members in China. Lately he decided to change his profession and work with people and touch people’s hearts, supporting them to move to the next level.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years. As a proud Latina, with Venezuelan and Mexican heritage, Mary brings a rich cultural perspective to every choreography she creates. Her dedication to dance is matched only by her commitment to empowering others through the joy and elegance of movement. Mary’s journey began with a simple passion for dancing, which quickly grew into a thriving business. She specializes in crafting personalized choreography for weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens, ensuring each event is unforgettable. Determined to make a significant impact in Ohio, Mary established the first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar location that not only offers a space to practice these beautiful dances but also provides a boutique experience for purchasing or renting exquisite dresses and tuxedos for these special moments. Mary Grace is more than just a business owner; she is a trailblazer for Latina women in the community, dedicated to bringing elegance, joy, and a touch of her vibrant heritage to every event she touches. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
