Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

8,4 km with gentle ascents and descents (+345/-343 m). Suitable for almost everyone. We start in Hönflein an der Donau and finish in Greifenstein. You can join from Budapest, Vienna or from the start of the route. Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment and experience life more fully. It makes life richer, brighter, and filled with simple pleasures. In everyday life, we constantly switch between our phones, work, and thoughts about the future. On this hike, we'll try spending the day differently: without phones, without rushing, and without unnecessary noise. We'll pay more attention to the nature around us, our own feelings, and simply give our minds a chance to rest. There will be mindfulness exercises, periods of silence, time for reflection, and, for those who wish, meditation. Phones stay in our backpacks and won't come out until the end of the hike. If you'd like photos, I'll take them for you and send them afterward. **Price:** 60 euro. Please take lunch with you. Prepayment is required (Revolut, Wise, bank transfer, cash). Please contact me personally: Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/leonid.syrovyatkin](https://www.facebook.com/leonid.syrovyatkin) Whatsapp: [https://wa.me/36305183643](https://wa.me/36305183643) Telegram: https://t.me/Rudra_AM

**NOTICE: Space is Limited** Please RSVP here, only if you are able to actually attend this *IN-PERSON opportunity* to network with other women at the **Ohio Valley DynamicsCon Regional event in Dublin, OH.** All times are Eastern. Many women have experienced moments in their careers when asking for help felt uncomfortable, speaking up felt risky, or admitting they didn't have all the answers felt like a sign of weakness. Yet the most successful leaders rarely succeed alone. This interactive roundtable explores the confidence challenges many women face throughout their careers, the isolation that can come from believing you're the only one experiencing them, and the power of community in changing that narrative. Through candid discussion and shared experiences, participants will explore how to advocate for themselves, build trusted support networks, seek mentorship, navigate professional challenges, and support other women along the way. At its core, this conversation is rooted in a simple belief: there is room for all of us. Success is not a limited resource, and leadership is not about earning one of a few available seats. It is about building bigger tables, pulling up more chairs, and creating opportunities for others as we grow. This is not a lecture. It is a conversation. Attendees will leave with practical strategies, new perspectives, meaningful connections, and renewed confidence to ask for help, offer support, and help create workplaces where more women can thrive together. ***Reminder, All times are Eastern for this In-Person Event!***

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas
