Confidence and Self-Esteem

Most professional relationships today start with a LinkedIn request and die in a DM. Meanwhile, AI-generated content is flooding every channel — making it harder to tell who's real, who's credible, and who's worth your time. Trust is becoming the scarcest currency in professional life. And you can't build it through a screen alone. Together with the Prague Founders & Digital Professionals community, we're hosting a small facilitated networking/mastermind evening at Spaces Smíchov. This is **not** a social mixer. Regardless of which language group is the majority, everyone speaks strictly in English so that everyone feels comfortable. **The Topic of the Evening:** AI is making everything easier to fake — credentials, content, even relationships. So how do you build a reputation that actually holds up? How do you know who to trust — and how do others decide whether to trust you? We'll get into it. Will share my tools & systems and would discuss your perspectives and protocols. **This session creates a space for that.** Together with the **Prague Founders & Digital Professionals** community, we’re hosting a small facilitated networking / mastermind evening at **Spaces Smíchov**. This is not a typical social mixer. It is a structured session designed for those who value depth over a stack of business cards. **The Topic of the Evening:** As AI tools automate content and work, how do professionals build real trust and maintain high-quality relationships today? We’ll discuss how reputation, credibility, and professional connections are evolving in 2026. **What to Expect:** * **30 min Group Discussion:** Insights on developing and maintaining trusted relationships in an AI-driven environment. We’ll cover specific frameworks and tools for staying "human" while scaling. * **60 min Facilitated Networking:** No small talk. Structured table rotations designed so you have real conversations with most people in the room. * **The Vibe:** No pitches. No panels. No "let me tell you about my startup." etc. **Who usually comes:** Founders, consultants, product people, designers, and remote professionals who work globally and are tired of shallow networking. **Agenda:** * 17:30 – 17:45: Welcome & Snacks. * 17:45 – 18:15: Shared Discussion: The New Rules of Trust * 18:15 – 19:15: Facilitated Networking (Table Rotations) * 19:15 – 19:30: Wrapping up **About the Facilitator:** The session is led by **[Alexander Benkendorf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benkendorf/)**, a branding strategist for international tech companies (Benkendorf Group). Alex has 20 years of experience in human experience design and product development. **Practical details:** * **📍 Where:** Spaces Smíchov, Prague (Business Club / Lounge) * **📅 When:** Tuesday\, March 10 \| 17:30 – 19:30 * **🌍 Language:** Strictly English * **👥 Limit:** \~25 people to keep discussions comfortable * 🎟 **Cost:** Free to attend, as a community event (RSVP is required to secure your spot). **Spaces are limited to ensure quality of conversation. Please RSVP to secure your spot.**

We will discuss our reactions and interpretations of Poe’s classic 25-page short story, readable online [here](https://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Poe/Usher.pdf). Poe is, among other things, often considered the inventor of the detective story and an original voice in the canon of American lit. This story (like many of his) is a romantic-era “gothic” work interested in madness, decay, and the supernatural. I look forward to hearing what you all think!

Through guided breathing and music, participants are supported in reconnecting with inner steadiness and allowing recent experiences — personal, emotional, or relational — to land in the body with greater clarity and calm. This session emphasizes nervous system regulation, integration, and a felt sense of orientation before moving forward. The practice is gentle, accessible, and does not require previous breathwork experience. The evening includes a short introduction, approximately 50 minutes of guided breathwork, and a sharing circle with tea afterward. Masculine / Shiva / Yang Ground. Direct. Build. This ceremony is an exploration of the masculine current within us — the part that moves forward, sets boundaries, and creates structure. When distorted, it can easily turn into aggression or rigidity. It is often said that we live in a world largely driven by masculine power. Let’s explore together how the masculine shows up in your life and in your body. This journey is about restoring clean strength. Shaking up rigidity. Gaining inner clarity, stability, and direction.

Březnový sraz v [pivovaru Lajka](https://pivovarlajka.cz/pivovar/) je zpátky a tentokrát to bude pestrý mix — od umělé inteligence přes seriálové právo až po networking s lidmi, kteří žijí frontendem a designem. Vezměte dobrou náladu a přijďte! Budeme se scházet postupně od 18:00 a **od 18:30 máme na programu:** * 📰 Nowwwinky od Tomáše Kouta * 🤖 AI tě naučí všechno. Nebo nic. – Karolína Vyskočilová * ⚖️ Seriál Silicon Valley byl více o právu než o techu.

Tomáš pro vás jako vždy vybral to nejzajímavější, co se od posledního srazu událo. **AI tě naučí všechno. Nebo nic. 🤖 – Karolína Vyskočilová** Studie od Anthropicu ukazuje, že lidi, co AI slepě poslouchají, rozumí vlastní práci míň než ti, co ji nepoužívají vůbec. Naopak ti, co se zeptat umí, mohou růst rychleji. Kde je hranice mezi „AI mi pomáhá růst" a „AI za mě přemýšlí"? Podíváme se, jak k tomu přistupuju já a budu ráda, když nasdílíte, jak to máte vy. Karolína Vyskočilová – nezávislá vývojářka a konzultantka (kybernaut.cz). Lingvistka, co víc než 15 let programuje weby a aplikace, a teď sleduje, jak se s AI všechno točí kolem jazyka. **Seriál Silicon Valley byl více o právu než o techu. Nevěříš? ⚖️ – Karel Navrátil & Jakub Gregorec** Seriál Silicon Valley není prorokem jen v tech světě, ale i v právu. Na první dobrou jsme to neviděli. Proto jsme se po letech na něj podívali znovu, tentokrát se zkušenostmi právníka i znalostí startup světa. A bylo tam opravdu všechno. Žádná přednáška vám nedokáže vysvětlit realitu práva jako tento seriál. Tvůrci mezi řádky schovali právní rady k nezaplacení. My vám ty nejlepší ukážeme pohledem právníka. Pozor! Některé postavy po přednášce už nikdy neuvidíte jako dřív. **„Risk{f}uj!"** 🎲 Čeká nás další kolo oblíbené vědomostní soutěže na frontendová témata.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **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!
