SELF-CONFIDENCE! The key to your SUCCESS!
**Gain The Confidence to Be Unstoppable! Free Class.**
How to Achieve Self Confidence!
Without question, self confidence is the key to success. It determines how many of your goals you achieve in life and has an enormous impact on your happiness. It affects how people perceive you, your career achievements, your ability to take risks or try new endeavours, as well as your overall attitude toward yourself and others.
Self Confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get.
Did you ever feel more certain of yourself in the past?
Would you like to raise your self confidence ?
To increase self confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self esteem.
Self Confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's go the universe in his pocket. - L. Ron Hubbard.
This day you are able to Learn a few things about:
• The true source of security in life.
• How self-confidence, self respect and self trust interrelate, and what you can do to rehabilitate them.
• The exact steps to become more competent in whatever you do.
Today's free class will put you into a good position to help you achieve a new level of self-confidence, accomplish more and progress towards a higher level of personal survival.

【Melbourne Meetup】AWS re:Invent re:Cap
AWS re:Invent is Amazon Web Services’ flagship global technology conference, held annually in Las Vegas since 2012.
Every year, the most critical updates and shifts around Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and AI are first discussed, debated, validated, and refined at re:Invent — shaping technology decisions for years to come.
This is not just another tech conference. It is where engineers, architects, and AWS core teams collectively define the future direction of cloud technology.
Many AWS technologies are officially announced for the very first time at re:Invent.
And just recently, AWS re:Invent has concluded in the US.
From AWS re:Invent to Melbourne Bringing Global Cloud Insights to the Local Tech Community
Shortly after re:Invent wrapped up, JR Academy is bringing first-hand insights from the global cloud stage directly to Melbourne.
At this critical moment, JR Academy, together with KSUG, is hosting an in-person technical meetup to share real observations and discussions straight from the conference floor.
This is not a replay or summary of re:Invent sessions. It’s a focused exchange that brings key global cloud judgments back to the local engineering community.
Not a “Re-cap”, but a Deep Technical Exchange
What engineers bring back from AWS re:Invent is rarely just slide decks.
More often, it’s:
Which EKS and AI directions were repeatedly discussed on-site
Which technologies looked promising, yet sparked real debate among engineers
How personal technical judgments and engineering thinking evolve after high-density information exposure
These insights are difficult to fully capture through live streams, blogs, or recap articles — yet they are often the most valuable inputs for real-world technical decisions.
JR Academy hopes to open these discussions to more engineers.
**Event Focus**
🔹 First-hand perspectives from [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com) re:Invent Participants who attended re:Invent in person will share what they saw, heard, and felt — beyond what appeared in keynotes.
🔹 Amazon EKS & Kubernetes topics Exploring changes in platform capabilities, architecture design, and engineering practices, and discussing the next phase of Kubernetes within the AWS ecosystem.
🔹 AI insights & emerging trends Practical takeaways and new signals around AI from the conference.
**Event Perks**
🎯 Food & drinks available from 5:30 PM – 6:00 PM (first come, first served) 🧃 Open networking & face-to-face technical discussions
**Registration Notes**
⚠️ Amazon Office security requirements:
Photo ID required (Passport or Driver’s License)
Registration must be under your real name
Thank you for your understanding.
**Event Details**
📍 Location Amazon MEL12, Level 13 304/555 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000
🕠 Time January 14, 2025 — 6:00 PM (Melbourne time)
🎯 How to Register Click “Attend” on the right to secure your spot.
📍 Technical Community Discussion After registration, please contact JR Academy (Xiao Hua) to join the group for deeper technical discussions.
Why JR Academy Keeps Doing This
At JR Academy, we believe the real gap between engineers is not just about mastering individual tools — but about building independent understanding and judgment at the very beginning of change.
Not everyone can attend AWS re:Invent in person. But the key insights it generates deserve to be heard as early as possible.
That’s exactly why we bring it to you.

**💬 Conversation Starters**
Each time we meet includes a few rotating topics to spark insight and great chats:

* A travel story with a twist (funny, unique, or unexpected)
* Something you’re learning right now
* A tip on how to work with your partner's personality and communication styles
No need to prep, just come ready to connect. We’ll mix up seating halfway through so you meet more than just the couple beside you.
**🧠 Who This Is For**
* Couples into growth, learning, and intentional living
* Those building something together, or who want to

This isn’t networking. It’s real people and real convos. Just bring yourselves, curiosity, and an open mind. We’ll take care of the rest.

Matt & Justine are the kind of couple who live for deep chats over food, spontaneous adventures, and connecting with people who live life on purpose.
Matt’s a 6’4 ex-photographer turned marketer and entrepreneur. He’s into Pickleball, boutique breweries, and discovering weird restaurants and books that make life (and business) better. If it helps him grow or gets him thinking differently, he’s probably already into it.
Justine’s a connector at heart. She’s a uni teacher and entrepreneur who loves mentoring, dancing, dark hot chocolate, and surrounding herself with people who think big and care deeply.
Together, they host events that feel relaxed but intentional, welcoming but meaningful. They started this event to find more of their people. Curious, kind, growth-minded couples who want more than just small talk.

**Understanding Social Connection** is a highly interactive, facilitated workshop designed to help you experience what real, meaningful connection actually feels like.
This workshop is **facilitated by Social Threads** and **hosted by Kismetrix**.

You won’t be sitting and listening.
You’ll be:
* having real conversations
* meeting people one-to-one
* learning about yourself
* and feeling genuinely connected
The workshop is designed around **conversation, not theory** — so instead of being talked at, you’ll take part in meaningful discussions and simple, practical exercises that show you how connection is built in real life.
### What you’ll explore
Through guided activities and reflection, you’ll discover:
* how genuine connection is formed
* how emotional intelligence (EQ) shows up in relationships
* how you come across when meeting new people
* what makes others feel safe, seen and drawn to you
You’ll rotate through **one-to-one partnered conversations**, allowing you to connect with a wide range of people in a relaxed, supported way.
### What you’ll leave with
The session ends with a **facilitated group conversation** that brings together the insights, patterns and learnings from the room — giving you **practical tools you can use** in dating, friendships, work and everyday life.
### This workshop is for you if you:
* feel tired of shallow conversations
* want more meaningful relationships
* feel awkward or unsure when meeting new people
* are curious about how you relate to others
* value emotional intelligence and personal growth
You do **not** need to be single.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Doing KPIs Right
**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!**
On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year!
We’re starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! We’ll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim.
Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the “two magic questions” of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets.
He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description!
All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2026 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO.

The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward, A WIA Vision Circle
As we step into a new year, many of us are carrying lessons, practices, and questions shaped by the year behind us.
The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward is a warm, facilitated vision circle designed to help us pause together, reflect on what truly worked, and imagine what we want to carry forward into what comes next.
This is not a talk or presentation.
It’s a small, participatory gathering focused on shared reflection, sense-making, and connection.
**Together, we’ll explore:**
* What supported you over the past year — in your work, leadership, or life
* What you’re ready to leave behind
* What you want next January’s version of yourself to be saying
To support reflection in different ways, we’ll also have optional art materials available for anyone who would like to create a simple artifact for their year — a visual or tactile reminder of what they’re carrying forward.
We’ll provide basic art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, paint pens, and small canvases. If you enjoy working with collage or other media, you’re warmly invited to bring magazines, stickers, or your favorite creative materials to use or share. Participation in the creative portion is completely optional.
You don’t need a plan, goals, or polished answers. Curiosity, honesty, and listening are more than enough.
The intention is for everyone to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired — with a clearer sense of what matters to them and how we can support one another as a community.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
