**This is 1:1 call. After RSVP, someone from our team will contact you and send you calendly link for scheduling meeting** This is a free coaching session as a part of our promotional activity, created for individuals who are experiencing anxiety and want to regain a sense of inner balance and control 🌿 In this session, we will explore what anxiety means for you - what triggers it, how it shows up in your thoughts and body, and what keeps it active. You will be guided through a supportive conversation that helps you understand your inner processes more clearly, without judgment or pressure 🤝 The focus is not only on awareness, but also on practical steps. You will learn simple and effective techniques that can help you calm your mind, reduce tension, and respond differently in challenging moments. We will also look at how your patterns of thinking and emotional responses influence your experience, and how small shifts can create meaningful change over time 🔄 This is a safe space where you can openly share, feel heard, and begin building a more stable, grounded, and confident version of yourself 💬

Adaptive Leadership in an AI World: Embracing Chaos

Adaptive Leadership in an AI World: Embracing Chaos

Sat, Jul 11, 6:00 AM
From Transformational Leaders Collective
4.5

**What if your greatest leadership advantage wasn't having all the answers...but knowing how to respond when no one does?** Today's leaders face constant disruption. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries. Markets shift overnight. Teams evolve. Plans rarely unfold exactly as expected. The leaders who thrive aren't those with the perfect strategy—they're the ones who can adapt, collaborate and create possibilities in the moment. Inspired by the principles of improvisational theatre, this highly interactive experience is designed to strengthen one of the most essential leadership capabilities of our time: the ability to respond with confidence, creativity and resilience when the script disappears. Through a series of engaging warm-up activities, team challenges and experiential exercises, you'll develop the mindset and skills to embrace uncertainty rather than resist it. Along the way, you'll discover how trust, presence and collaboration unlock better decisions and stronger leadership under pressure. Together we'll explore how to respond when: * Plans fall apart and you need to pivot quickly. * The situation changes halfway through. * You're working with unfamiliar people. * Critical information is missing. * The brief is unclear—or completely wrong. * Outcomes don't match intentions. This isn't about acting. It's about learning to become more adaptable, resourceful and confident in situations where certainty simply isn't available. Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, consultant, coach or emerging leader, you'll gain practical experience in thinking on your feet while connecting with other professionals who are equally committed to growing their leadership capacity. You'll leave with: * Greater confidence navigating uncertainty. * Improved adaptability and creative problem-solving. * Stronger collaboration and communication skills. * A deeper appreciation that leadership isn't about controlling every outcome—it's about responding skilfully to whatever emerges. The future won't reward those who cling to the script. It will reward those who can create the next chapter together. 🎟️This is a ticketed event. Register and reserve your spot at: [https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607372](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607372) Ticket includes snacks, a healthy plant-based meal and drinks. **Hosted by:** Utopia Rising delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again. It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food. [www.utopiarising.com.au](https://www.utopiarising.com.au)

WEREWOLF! A Night of Improvised Deception

WEREWOLF! A Night of Improvised Deception

Fri, Jul 10, 7:30 AM
From Transformational Leaders Collective
4.5

Trust no one. Read the room. Survive the night. This will put your Leadership, Critical Thinking & Persuasion Skills to the ultimate test! *In this tiny 17th-century town, some of you are Werewolves. Others are Civilians 👥, the Seer 🔮, the Vigilante ⚔️, Cupid 🏹, or Lovers ❤️.* *By night, the Werewolves hunt.* *By day, the town must decide who to trust… to survive.* Step into Werewolf: The Improvised Game (“Whispers”) — a high-energy social experiment where trust is fragile, alliances shift, and someone is always lying. Based on the popular social deduction game, this Improvised experience throws you into a world of hidden identities, real-time decisions, and constant uncertainty. You’ll negotiate, defend yourself, question others… and at some point, probably accuse someone innocent. Get ready to step into a character from the 17th century. You could be the town doctor, candle maker, blacksmith, or wizard - just to name a few. As the pressure builds, you’ll sharpen the skills that matter most in the real world: * Communication under pressure * Reading people * Critical thinking * Decision-making * Trust-building * Influence * Emotional intelligence And here’s the twist… It quietly becomes one of the most fascinating team dynamics simulations you’ll ever experience. 💪🏽 Who steps up? 🤫 Who stays quiet? ❓ Who influences the room? 🙈 Who folds under pressure? ⏱️ Who bluffs their way to the end? No experience needed. Just your survival instincts, a willingness to get into character, and the courage to accuse new friends of being literal monsters! Can you read the room, earn trust, and build the right alliances… before it’s too late? 🐺 Your mission: Stay Alive! Credits: This game, *Whispers,* was created by Raymond van Driel, F-Act Training & Coaching [www.onlinewerewolf.com](https://www.onlinewerewolf.com) **P.S.** A minimum of 8 players is required and a maximum of 28. If we don’t reach the minimum or exceed the maximum, we’ll improvise and play alternative game(s). **P.P.S.** Due to the unpredictable timing of each round, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late will observe until the next round begins. There is also the possibility that you may miss out on playing altogether. **P.P.P.S.** Your survival is not guaranteed. 👉 Join now. You don’t want to be left outside the village. Trust me... **🎟️ Register now.** https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/werewolf-a-thrilling-game-of-improvised-deception-free-tickets-1992278816571 📑 **This FREE event is published on multiple platforms, so it is necessary for you to register on Eventbrite to ensure the numbers are capped to the capacity of the room.** **Workshop Facilitator** ***Susan Zheng*** is the Founder and Director of [Improv Life Lessons](https://improvlifelessons.au/ "https://improvlifelessons.au/"). What if our path to authenticity is not in perfection, but in using mistakes as a launching pad for bursts of transformation? Join me, and let's improvise our way to personal growth and meaningful connections!

Most designers want to be more strategic. But what does that actually mean? Is strategic design about working on bigger problems? Influencing executives? Creating visions and roadmaps?

We’re lucky to have Dr Leanne Sobel, Jaimes Nel, Paul Merrell, and Lize Wordsworth sharing their insights with short lightning talks before we open up a panel discussion and audience conversation. We'll explore: * What strategic design is * What it isn’t – with common misconceptions and traps * How strategic design differs from other design disciplines * Where strategic design is heading * How designers can increase their strategic influence and impact Expect diverse perspectives, thoughtful discussions, and practical insights for designers at every stage of their career.

RSVPing for an event on Meetup is straightforward. Once you find an executive coaching event in Sydney that interests you, simply click RSVP on the event page to confirm your attendance.

Meetup offers free membership for users. However, some events might have a fee set by the organizer, particularly workshops or training sessions, so it’s good to check each event listing.

While many executive coaching groups in Sydney focus on professional development, the quality and focus can vary. It's recommended to review group descriptions and past events to ensure they match your needs.

Meetup can't guarantee that there will always be an available group for every specific interest in Sydney. It depends on user-generated content and available organizers at any given time.

Meetup focuses on group activities rather than individual matchmaking. It's an excellent way to connect with groups and attend events, rather than seeking 1-on-1 coaching relationships.
