The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program.

Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

ReuniĂłn de juntaletras.
El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

💜 Navigating the life cycles the business world ignores ☕ Connection Circle
💜 Navigating the life cycles the business world ignores ☕ Connection Circle
*Most online networking feels like a muted webinar. Most digital hangouts feel like chaotic small talk. We are here to do the opposite!* \-\-\- 👉 **STEP 1:** Register here on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** Get your ticket on [Luma](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) \-\-\- At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting. We don’t just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. **🌟** TOPIC FOR THIS EDITION ​Most professional environments demand a mask of constant performance, leaving little room for the realities of the human behind the title. In this special edition, we are opening the **Black Box** to address the strategic and personal topics the business world often ignores. First, we’ll look inward to reclaim our foundations, navigating the invisible life cycles and health transitions we face in silence. It's about choosing your own rhythm in a world that demands you go faster. We then shift to our impact on the system around us, exploring how our individual acts of grit create a ripple effect that changes the professional landscape for every woman at the table. ​ WHO IS THIS FOR? * 🎀 It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand. * 🎀 If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. * 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. * 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited. HOW TO JOIN US? 👉 **STEP 1:** Register here on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** Get your ticket on [Luma](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) 🔗 Link also pinned in the comments for easy mobile access. WHAT IS INCLUDED? The support fee for this edition is €15 (5,800 HUF), which includes: * ⚓ 2 hours of expert-led facilitation and curated dialogue * ☕ Your first coffee or tea (so you can simply arrive and settle in) * 🏠 Exclusive access to our private Facebook community * 💜 Supporting our work to create steady anchors for professional women * đŸŽ« All platform and transaction fees are also included. **If you feel called to create real connection in Budapest within a female-only community, we can’t wait to welcome you.** 💜 👉 [To secure your spot, please register here](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) \-\-\- \-\-\- Follow us on ​[LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/17220029/)\| [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/womenscoffeenetwork/?hl=es) \| [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/womenscoffeenetworkglobal) to see the atmosphere of our gatherings and get a daily dose of grounding.

On your phone and **can’t click**? Click the link in the comments! F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in **Budapest!** ✹ **WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?** FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk! Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Budapest every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. ✹ **HOW DOES IT WORK?** We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Keely, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. **✹ HOW TO JOIN?** **[Take 1 minute to sign up](https://luma.com/ftstbudapest1)** On your phone and can’t click?

We only **reveal the exact location** upon confirmation. Since this event will be outdoors in a park\*, please bring a blanket or something you feel comfortable sitting on in the grass. We’ll gather in small groups of 3–4 people, so blankets will be shared. In case of bad weather, the location will be changed to an indoor venue in District VIII, Budapest. **✹ WHAT THEY SAY** “This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.” *\- Sonya* “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from *"Where are you from?"* to *"When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?"* and I think **that's beautiful.**” \- Monika "It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." \- Sara **[Read our 170+ Google reviews here](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7)** *(we ain't your typical meetup)* **✹ FAQ** **‱ Can I come alone?** Of course, everyone does! **‱ Can I be late?** Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow. **‱ I signed up but never got an invite. Why?** We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings **‱ Is this a networking or dating event?** Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen, it’s just not the intention!) \-\-\- \* Location is only revealed to ticket holders! \* Age guide, 22-39 years old (only a reference of what you expect, not a limit ) ***This event is a no-phone experience.*** We started in Berlin back in 2019 out of the frustration of being asked 'where are you from?' a million times at every single meetup! Now there are chapters in nearly 20 cities, including London, Lisbon, Buenos Aires, Zurich, and Vancouver!  We're part of the Epic Llama Universe. We design out-of-the-box experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and human connection. We're on a mission to make boring brilliant! \*\*\* Follow us on[ Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/epic.llama/) Our [website](https://epicllama.com/fuckthesmalltalk)[ ](https://epicllama.com/)

admin night & closing loops
admin night & closing loops
**Admin Night ☻** (**May 6th**\, Wednesday 18:30 \| **Location:** MƱvhĂĄz KĂĄvĂ©zĂł) **Welcome to the unplugged club Budapest ✹** *This is a community for slowing down, disconnecting from our phones and reconnecting with ourselves and others.* Usually, we gather to put our devices away, but this time the **unplugged club will be "plugged"** — so we can connect and support each other in person while tackling our to-do lists! **What is an Admin Night?** It’s a space to finally get around to those things you’ve been procrastinating on. We often carry around **"open loops"** — those unfinished tasks, unread articles, or half-planned projects that sit in the back of our minds, draining our mental energy. Whether it’s clearing your inbox, updating your resume, or finally planning that trip, let's close some loops together in a focused, cozy atmosphere. **〜 Read more about:** [what is an Admin night](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/26/health/admin-night-adults-productivity-trend-wellness) [what is "closing loops"](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/open-loops-mental-exhaustion_l_6965121fe4b0ac0d12a380db) "***The Zeigarnik effect*** is a psychological phenomenon where the human brain remembers interrupted or unfinished tasks better than completed ones. (...) it suggests that unfinished tasks create cognitive tension, keeping them active in memory." **〜 What to expect** ◩ Bring your laptop, iPad, phone, or notebook — whatever you need to get your "admin" done. ◩ A dedicated block of time for focused productivity alongside others. ◩ A supportive environment to turn chores into a social, shared experience. ◩ Space to chat, share progress, and have a drink while we work. **〜 Location** MƱvhĂĄz KĂĄvĂ©zĂł Budapest, BartĂłk BĂ©la Ășt 33, 1114 **〜 Schedule** 18:30 – Welcome, grab a drink, and share one thing you want to "cross off" tonight 19:00 – 20:30 – Focused admin time & co-working 20:30 – 21:00 – Closing reflections and informal socializing - optional **〜 Notes** ✧ The event is free, but please support the venue by purchasing a beverage or food. ✧ While devices are allowed for this specific session, we still encourage mindful usage (no scrolling!) and staying present with the group and your tasks. ✧ RSVP on Meetup to ensure we have enough table space for everyone.

Your energy is part of the strategy. * **Confidence in Service** Align how you show up with the impact you actually want to have. **This Is For You If
** * You’re ready to take up more space in your work or life * You want to communicate with clarity and confidence * You’re stepping into (or preparing for) leadership * You’re done second-guessing yourself **Our Speakers** **Lachandra Baker** Founder of LBB Edutainment and the kind of person who makes you realize you’ve been confusing confidence with performance your whole life. Lachandra blends psychology, research, and radical humanity to help individuals and teams stop code-switching their way through the day and start showing up as someone they actually recognize. Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath. **Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there. **Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTORℱ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab. **Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow. **Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes. **Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it.
