Personal & Professional Development

**A)** You want to enjoy your career **B)** You want to enjoy your personal life **C)** You want to reach your potential **D)** You want insightful, transformative conversations that allow you to tap into the best of yourself **E)** You want to live up to your full potential and move forward in life **F)** You want to make it happen and no longer want to drift along **1)** Roger Federer, the greatest tennis player of all time, has a coach. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, had a coach. Mark Zukerberg and Richard Branson had coaches. **2)** Roger Federer, Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg and Richard Branson did not overcome their obstacles by attending feel good motivational talks that are over-priced 3 days rah rah concerts in disguise. **3)** They go for the real thing. They know that such rah rah talks cannot address specific challenges. **4)** Now, if these successful people have coaches, why should you be shy of coaching? Having a coach is as as natural as going to the doctor when you have a fever that doesn't go away with panadol. Having a coach is as natural as going to a mechanic when you can't figure out why your car cannot start. **5)** Empower Advisory is committed to give you a full single session of FREE life coaching.

​Many busy adults are doing their best to get quality sleep. Yet we often go to bed with a racing mind, wake up at 3 am, or get 7 hours of sleep and feel anything but rested. Over time, this can lead to fatigue, health issues and reduced performance. ​Modern work culture, the need for me time, and adulting responsibilities all make it hard to have a consistent routine. Even when we find the time, we're often not sure whether what we're doing is actually working. This interactive workshop goes beyond generic sleep advice. We will build change-resilient habits that work for individuals. We will explore options for designing a bedtime routine that fits your personal needs and remains doable when the week gets messy. ​Expect science-backed insights, guilt-free conversation and at least one practice you can apply to **Sleep Better Tonight**. # ​**What We’ll Explore** ​🛏️ Why modern lifestyles quietly damage sleep quality ​🛏️ The 3 “fixes” that continue to make people tired ​🛏️ A 5-minute exercise to reset focus and calm the mind ​🛏️ The 6 ways to unwind for overactive minds ​🛏️ Practical strategies for sustainable sleep habits

Most of us were told to think critically at school. Almost none of us were taught how. That gap was always there. It's just that now you're making hundreds of decisions a day inside systems specifically designed to exploit it. Feeds that reward reaction over reflection, content that's optimised to feel true rather than be true, and AI that can generate a convincing argument for almost anything. The cost of not thinking carefully has never been higher. Neither has the pressure not to bother. In this discussion, we visit this topic with the intent of simply thinking about it, because we believe this is the first step against a quiet avoidance of a very real problem. ***Some questions we'll be sitting with:*** * When did someone last genuinely change your mind — and what did it take? * Is there a difference between thinking critically and just being difficult? * Are you choosing what to learn based on who you are, or who you think you should be? * How is AI changing the way you think? * Can you think clearly about something you care deeply about? * What would you believe differently if you'd grown up somewhere else? **What to expect** The format is conversational. We sit in a circle. There's a short provocation to open ie a reading, a question, a claim worth disputing. Then we talk. A facilitator keeps things moving and honest. Sessions run two hours. This is Session One. It's free. Seating is intentionally capped at 20 so the conversation stays real. Come with an open mind and connect with like-minded people. **The Postmodern Place** is a monthly discussion community for people who want to engage seriously with ideas. Philosophy, society, culture, the forces shaping how we live. We read carefully, argue honestly, and try to leave with a clearer picture than when we walked in. No academic background required. No prior reading necessary. The only thing you need to bring is a willingness to think out loud with strangers.

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.
