Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.

Es werden grundsätzliche Überlegungen besprochen, Themen wie Spielanalyse, Mathematik, Taktik, Einsätze, Glück und Wahrscheinlichkeit, Geduld, Positionsspiel, Bluffen, Kapitalmanagement und Etikette werden behandelt und es werden Handanalysen vorgenommen. Wir werden im Advanced Kurs generelle Theorien und Konzepte vom Pokerspiel anschauen, besprechen und analysieren. Wir fragen dabei niemals: "Was mache ich jetzt mit diesen Karten?" Sondern eher: "Was berücksichtige ich alles in dieser speziellen Situation, bevor ich mich entscheide, was ich tue?"

In Zeiten steigender Komplexität und zunehmender Sparmassnahmen stellt sich vielen Organisationen die Frage, wie sie Silos aufbrechen, Transparenz schaffen und ihre Wertschöpfung erhöhen können. Die Landesgeologie bei swisstopo hat diesen Wandel angestossen und zeigt als Praxisbeispiel aus der Bundesverwaltung, wie agile Strukturen auch in einem regulierten Umfeld funktionieren und eine Organisation gezielt auf kommende Herausforderungen vorbereiten können. Im Zentrum stehen Lean Portfolio Management, OKRs und PI Planning als Werkzeuge, die auf die Organisationsgrösse runterskaliert wurden. Dies um Fokus, gemeinsame Prioritäten und nachvollziehbare Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen und flexibel auf neue Anforderungen zu reagieren. Der Vortrag zeigt, wie eine lernende Organisation entsteht, die kontinuierliche Verbesserung verankert und Zusammenarbeit nachhaltig stärkt, ohne Stabilität einzubüssen. Eine Einladung an alle, die Agilität in komplexen Strukturen zum Leben erwecken wollen und konkrete Erfahrungen jenseits der Theorie suchen. **BIO** Michael Gysi arbeitet seit vier Jahren bei swisstopo und verantwortet als Prozessleiter Data Management sowie stellvertretender Bereichsleiter die fachliche, strategische und organisatorische Weiterentwicklung der Landesgeologie. Zu seinen Schwerpunkten gehören der Aufbau einer cloudbasierten Datenplattform, die Entwicklung KI-gestützter Automatisierungen und die Etablierung von Governance- und Qualitätsprozessen. Zudem prägt er die Transformation des Bereichs durch die Einführung agiler Strukturen. Bevor er zur Bundesverwaltung wechselte, war Michael neun Jahre international tätig. Als Country Manager in Malaysia und Ägypten baute er regionale Consulting-Standorte auf und leitete Explorationsprojekte in MENA und Südostasien. Später führte er bei der nagra ein geologisches Explorationsprogramm im Rahmen der Standortsuche für ein Tiefenlager für radioaktive Abfälle. Insgesamt bringt er 14 Jahre Erfahrung in strategischer Steuerung, datengetriebenen Transformationsprozessen und interdisziplinärer Teamführung in Europa, Afrika, dem Nahen Osten und Südostasien ein.

Aber wie gelingt es, es zu entdecken und bewusst zu leben? In diesem **einzigartigen Live-Event** erfährst du, wie du dein persönliches Glück selbst in die Hand nehmen kannst. Freu dich auf **praktische Übungen und inspirierende Impulse**, die du direkt in deinen Alltag mitnehmen kannst.

**Our January novel is: Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan** **This month's featured novel is a 20th-century biographical fiction, coming-of-age, historical romance, women’s fiction, world literature, student biography, heartfelt, magic, and feel-good novel. The book is 311 pages in print and 7 hours and 8 minutes on audiobook.** 1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it's just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: "Where did Narnia come from?" Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers. Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he shares the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life. After holding so tightly to logic and reason, her brother's request leads Megs to absorb a more profound truth: "The way stories change us can't be explained. It can only be felt. Like love."

**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.
