### 🔓 UNLOCK THE POWER OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION 🗣️ “I know what I should say, but it doesn't come out right.” “I want to fix my relationship, but I don't know where to start.” “When the time comes, I don't know what to say.” “I have so many ideas, but I'm too afraid to share them.” In every aspect of life—whether in relationships, family dynamics, business, or the workplace—**communication is the key** 🔑 Without it, progress is impossible. But with effective communication, the doors to success swing wide open. Learn the secrets of how to communicate to anyone, anywhere—whether you’re speaking to a small group, addressing a large audience, or having a one-on-one conversation. ## 🌟 THE POWER OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Poor communication is often overlooked as the root of problems in relationships, confidence, and work ability. In this workshop, we’ll cover the **formula of communication** and how to use it to improve every aspect of your life. ### ✅ Effective communication can handle: * Shyness and introversion * Business relationships and efficiency * Marriages and romantic relationships * Self-confidence and self-esteem * Everyday interactions This is not just a lecture where you sit quietly and listen - It’s **interactive and LIVE** so you can ask questions at any time and start practicing your newfound skills right away. ### 📅 **17 June 2026 – 7:00 PM** 📍 Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin, Firhouse Road, Dublin D24 CX39

IFSC Toastmasters will hold its next meeting on **Wednesday, 17th June at 6:30pm**, in the CIE Boardroom, Connolly Station, North Dock, Dublin 1.

[Connelly Station Concourse Locator](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ew5HA8BxgfoFyHm28) (Eircode: D01V6V6) [Meeting Point Picture](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bKQNl_6wEXY6WrcbKBfYsqbY1nkqnhHo/view?usp=drive_link) You can expect to receive a warm welcome and experience the different ways we help our members and guests achieve their public speaking goals.

Get over the mid week slump and come down to meet some new faces and relax. We try and go to a different bar every week and you can join us anytime after 18:30. **How to find the group?** \*We have an area reserved just for us so if you are new and unsure please ask any of the bar staff for the area reserved under the organisers name or if completely lost on the night please contact the event host and they'll come and find you. **How does it work?** \*After finding the group either the organiser will approach you and ask if you are looking for the meetup or you can just ask anyone "Is this the meetup?" and normally that is a great conversation opener to join the group. After that it's up to you what you make of the event. That is pretty much it. Easy right? We normally encourage people to stand as it's much easier to mingle that way. **Nervous about coming to the event?** \*While it's quite intimidating meeting a bunch of strangers from the internet we are a very welcoming group. We normally look out for new people and remember that everyone in the group has been new in the group at one point. If are you'd like extra help just contact the event host on the night. **Interested in helping out?** \*Let me (Éamonn) know as it would be greatly appreciated. **Something happened?** \*Please report it to the organiser as we cannot do anything to prevent it from happening again if we don't know about it. Even if it's something small please let the organiser know as they are probably unaware. We aim to have the location up by Monday afternoon before the event. The bars we go to are all based in the city centre. **See you on Wednesday!**

⚡ Reset your direction. Meet someone unexpected. Walk away with fresh clarity. Join us for a relaxed **small-group afternoon event** that blends a light **Inner Coach conversation experience** with a **community potluck lunch**. In February we hosted our first **Inner Coach event**, and many attendees said it helped them notice something powerful — the voice inside that quietly guides better decisions when life gets complicated. This event builds on that idea. Instead of overthinking the past, we’ll explore how to **reset direction for what’s next** — through thoughtful conversation, new perspectives, and the kind of questions that spark real insight. We’ll start with a few short conversation rounds designed to spark reflection, humor, and perspective — and then continue the discussion over food and relaxed conversation. Think **good food, grounded people, and real conversations about what comes next in life.** Held in our **Startup Garage** — a bright, comfortable living-room style space inside a single-family home. (Couches, food, conversation — **not an actual garage** 😊) *** ## **🥘 Potluck Lunch** If you're able, bring something small to share. Homemade or store-bought — both welcome. A dish you enjoy making. A dish that always works Or simply something easy from the store If you're busy, come anyway — the goal is **community, not perfection**. We’ll share a relaxed **afternoon potluck lunch** while continuing meaningful conversations with people navigating their next chapter. *** ## **What You’ll Experience** • Light conversation rounds designed to spark insight • Fresh perspectives from people navigating similar life transitions • Humor, perspective, and grounded conversation • A relaxed environment where ideas and connections happen naturally *** ## **Who Typically Attends** • Professionals in their 30s–40s–50s • Entrepreneurs and builders • Divorced or separated individuals navigating what’s next • People who prefer thoughtful conversation over surface-level small talk Whether you're **resetting direction, building something new, or simply meeting grounded people**, this event is designed for honest connection and fresh perspective. *** Most attendees are navigating life and growth with **curiosity, clarity, and a sense of humor.** 📍 Hosted in a spacious living-room setting inside a single-family home (Ashburn – 20147). Full address and parking details are emailed **2–3 days before the event.** 🌐 Learn more about the community [https://midlifereinvention.co](https://midlifereinvention.co) *** If you're curious about the **Inner Coach vs Inner Critic concept**, here’s a short introduction: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtgoDgqppGI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtgoDgqppGI)
