Vancouver Discussions Meetup Group

## Momentum Club : Ideas → Action (No Homework)

Why this exists
Have you ever read a self help book but never put its teaching into action? Or you wanted to make a change for the better in your life or community but never had the will to act?
Then this club is for you!!Momentum Club is a fast, low‑pressure hour where we trade useful ideas and leave with one tiny Action to try for 7 days. (Inspired by Ben Franklin’s Junto—updated for 2025.)

How it works (recurring format)

• Bring one useful thing (optional): a question, a quote/data point, or a tool/link you’ve tried.
• We read short passages from our favorite books/movies/websites aloud (optional).
• We discuss how each of us can have a positive impact on our communities.
• We finish with one small action you’ll test before next meetup.

Events flow (75–90 min, low‑pressure)

1. Quick intros (name + one thing you might improve this week) — 5 min
2. share books or movies or articles that grabbed your attention this week — 20–25 min
3. Passages & questions (host provides if you didn’t bring any) — 25–30 min
4. Civic note (Vancouver: one small, local improvement we can try) — 10 min
5. Tiny experiment (write one 7‑day test + optional buddy check‑in) — 10 min
6. Wrap — one sentence you’ll carry into the week

Example topic we will be talking about:

• One tiny habit that would make tomorrow 5% easier

What to bring (optional)

• Question you’ve been chewing on (one sentence)
• Quote/data point (≤150 words) from a book/article
