♟ Business Chess & Backgammon Dubai
♟ Business Chess & Backgammon Dubai
### **This is not a public event.** On April 5, we’re gathering a **small, curated circle** of entrepreneurs, founders, and professionals in Dubai. No mass invites. No open access. No random crowd. **Why people come** Because most networking events don’t work. Too loud. Too superficial. Too many people who shouldn’t be in the room. We do it differently. **What happens here** No pitches. No сцен. No forced conversations. Only a carefully selected group where connections happen naturally — through presence, not performance. **Chess & backgammon?** Just an excuse. The real value is the room. And who is sitting across from you. **Event details** 📅 April 5 🕖 19:00–22:00 📍 Dubai (location shared after confirmation) 💎 Limited capacity 🔒 Approval required **Contribution** 💎 **100 AED — charitable contribution** This is not a ticket. It’s a filter. It ensures the right people in the room. **Important** We do not aim for quantity. We protect the quality of the circle. Once the list is full — registration closes. **If you feel this is for you — apply now.** **If you hesitate — it’s probably not.**

And yet… the moment all eyes are on you: * your mind goes blank * your voice feels shaky * you walk away thinking, *“That wasn’t me.”* Here’s the truth most people don’t talk about: **Public speaking isn’t a confidence problem. It’s a nervous system problem.** And once you learn how to work *with* your body and mind instead of fighting them, speaking changes completely. That’s exactly what this **2-hour live masterclass** is about. Not performing. Not pretending. ### In this 2-hour live masterclass, you’ll experience how to: * * Speak clearly without rambling or freezing * Stay composed even under pressure * Structure your thoughts so your message lands * Sound confident—without forcing it This is practical, real-time training—not theory. This is practical, grounded, and very human work. You’ll practice. You’ll reflect. You’ll walk out *different*. **Led by Samra** Certified Master Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Public Speaking Coach based in Dubai I work with professionals who are capable and driven, but struggle to express themselves clearly in high-stakes situations. This masterclass is a **safe, supportive, learn-by-doing space**. ### Details: **Location:** The Cycle Bistro, Jumeirah 1 ⏰ **2 hours (live & in-person)** 💰 **AED 99/-** 🎟 **Limited seats** **📲 Next Step (Secure Your Spot):** https://pay.ziina.com/Kailanithreads/aCuc7mfvS or Reach out on: https://wa.me/message/QVBVVAN25PSJD1 If you’re serious about improving how you speak, this is your sign.

IxDA Chat ‘n Pancakes
It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
