Capability ≠ Capacity: What I wish I’d known about neurodivergence leading tech

Thu, Oct 22, 6:30 AM

From Tech Leading Ladies

4.8

Capability ≠ Capacity: What I wish I’d known about my neurodivergent brain when I was leading in tech I was diagnosed ADHD and autistic at 41, following severe burnout at the peak of my career in technology leadership, transformation and digital delivery. I was clearly capable of doing complex work. What I didn’t understand was why things that seemed like they should be easy could sometimes require an enormous amount of effort. In this talk, I’ll explore some of the less visible things that use our capacity at work — and how this helps us to find the right strategies to work sustainably as a neurodivergent leader. **Agenda (time in Melbourne/AEST)** * 5:30pm Networking * 6:00pm Welcome * 6:05pm Main Presentation * 6:35pm Q&A * 7:00pm Networking * 7:30pm Close **This will be a HYBRID event:** **Zoom link -** will be posted 1hr before event starts. **Our Speaker** **Ani Møller** Ani Møller is a neurodivergent leadership coach and ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) who works exclusively with neurodivergent leaders. Before becoming a coach, Ani worked in technology, transformation and digital delivery, including as an Executive Director leading large teams and multi-million-dollar programs. They were diagnosed ADHD and autistic at 41 following severe burnout, and subsequently trained as an ADHD coach. Their work now brings together lived experience, coaching and decades of leadership and transformation experience to help neurodivergent leaders understand how they work and build more sustainable ways of working and leading.

Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should

Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM

From ProductTank Melbourne

4.6

After a 2 year hiatus ProductTank Melbourne is back!! Join us in person at the TeamForm offices in the CBD for the latest in practical insights, great discussions and interesting people. **Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should** Perfectly reasonable habits we encounter in our day-to-day product work can be clues that something deeper is wrong in the system around you. Are your colleagues a little too concerned with what the director thinks? Have your engineers stopped arguing with you? Is your Q2 plan all locked up nice and neat? This talk looks at those product smells: what they reveal, their root cause, and what you can do when you spot them. **Speaker: Jack Rust** Jack Rust is a Senior Product Manager at SEEK. Before moving into product, he worked as a software engineer — and before that, at a deli. He's interested in products that help people get their jobs done, the systems that help product managers build them, and why some systems make that work so hard. Jack is uncomfortable networking, so he speaks at meetups and conferences in the hope that the networking will happen to him instead. **When & Where** 5:30pm doors open, 6pm start TeamForm — Level 6, 278 Collins St (entrance next to Flight Centre, near Flinders Street Station) **On the night** 5:30 pm - Doors open with pizza provided by our hosts TeamForm 6:00 – 7:00pm: talk + discussion 7:00 – 8:00pm: networking, Come along, bring a friend and/or colleague, and come ready with a product smell of your own — you might just get it workshopped live.

Lead With Impact Through Powerful Facilitation

Thu, Oct 22, 7:00 AM

From Product Anonymous Meetup - Melbourne

4.7

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to design and run workshops that actually move teams forward. Going beyond the standard retro and sticky notes, & drawing on real examples from hundreds of workshops plus grounded in coaching and facilitation practice, we'll cover everything from setting the right goals, to a practical toolkit to design your next workshop with intent, to tips for the messy real-world stuff like handling conflict, getting people to engage, and keeping energy up when things go sideways. You'll leave with practical techniques you can use straight away, tools to help teams go from discussion to real decisions, and more confidence being the person running the room. **Our speaker** [Aseel Hamarneh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aseelhamarneh/) is a Product lead with over 15 years’ experience in tech, working multiple organisations and countries. Over that time, she has seen a consistent pattern: teams collaborate constantly and run regular workshops and retros, yet often leave potential on the table because facilitation is treated as a format rather than a leadership skill. She has designed and led organisation-wide workshops, large-scale training programs, and numerous strategy and ideation sessions. Her focus is not on running meetings, but on using facilitation to drive alignment, generate stronger ideas, and support meaningful decisions during change and complexity. Drawing on formal facilitation training and executive coaching accreditation, Aseel approaches facilitation as a capability that shapes how teams think and collaborate. Across diverse organisational contexts, she has seen the same principle hold: strong facilitation unlocks the full potential of collective thinking. **Our hosts**: [NV AI Learning Centre](https://www.naturalvelocity.ai/) Directions Natural Velocity Head Office is located on Level One, 9 Star Cres Docklands (inside The District Docklands) next to Melbourne College of Hair and Beauty.

How to Defeat Materialism: Science biases & psi evidence - Avanti Shrikumar PhD

Sun, Oct 25, 12:00 AM

From Parapsychology Meetup - Melbourne

4.7

**How has materialism become so baked into the Western worldview?** Why is science and academia so hostile toward psi phenomena, despite the strength of the evidence? **Multiple lines of evidence** make a hard-to-dismiss case for the reality of psi phenomena - veridical near-death experiences, 1000s of cases of children with verified past-life memories, and meta-analyses of lab experiments demonstrating the reality of phenomena like precognition. **In this presentation,** **Avanti Shrikumar** will discuss the strong case that parapsychology belongs in science. And asks: why is it considered controversial? **She will describe the watershed historical moment** that consigned parapsychology to the scientific margins by the heavily biased National Research Council review commissioned by the U.S. Army in 1987. And how it was deeply flawed, despite the official assessment that “using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established”. **Avanti will address the current leading objection to parapsychology:** the evidence must be flawed because psi is “impossible”. She will discuss a plausible mechanism for how psi exists **She will also discuss how sceptics think,** the flaws in common lines of attack against psi, and the reasons why it can be so difficult to see those flaws. This will include a little-known secret to clear thinking. Finally, she will discuss how parapsychology communities contribute to their own marginalisation, and what is required to fix this. **About Avanti Shrikumar:** * A career academic and researcher * graduated from MIT in 2013 with a degree in Computational Biology * PhD from Stanford in 2020 * the creator of widely used tools in machine learning for genomics * Recently joined the field of parapsychology after becoming convinced that most societal problems are linked to the denial of psi. * Read more on her Substack: [datadrivenspirituality.substack.com](https://kor01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdatadrivenspirituality.substack.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cf29a6be8d13047ad9e8c08df1ed4981d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C639263570614718047%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=INTAO5m4h9N8ELd0vtaCatOZ0J4rVSeUslihxXGDndA%3D&reserved=0) **Post-Event Social Lunch Hangout (12.45 - 2.00pm)** Afterwards, you are invited to lunch with everyone at **Flora Indian Restaurant** (3min walk from the venue) **PLEASE NOTE:** * **11AM Start -** Please be considerate and arrive early. * **$10 Cover Charge:** Room hire, facilities, and running costs.

CREATING and IMPROVING ABILITY! Free Meetup!

Fri, Oct 9, 12:00 AM

From FREE Life-Improvement Educational Talks!

3.4

Your ability to work and live with others is crucial to your survival. To survive well one needs ability. Today meetup topic: Creating and Improving Ability And if you think you already have all the ability one needs to survive well then it is important for you to learn how to KEEP IT FROM GOING AWAY. Attend our Free Meetup! Definition for Ability: One's power to observe, to make decisions and to act. A man is as free, as well-off, as he is able. A family is as happy as it has ability. A business is as well-off as it has able people in it. A country is as well-off as it has able workers, foremen and executives. At today's meetup learn what constitutes ability and more importantly how to develop and improve it so that it does not go away. Fact's are that one's ability is never the same. It either goes up or it will go down. Your natural as well as learned abilities are constantly subject to many of life's pressures. One can therefore simply not rest on one's laurels regarding your current abilities and simply assume they will always be available for use. The time to protect and enhance ability is when you are still able. Any loss of ability will result in less confidence followed by problems resulting in unhappiness. This is called the dwindling spiral. Not just for you, it will impact all others you associate with as well. Today's topic applies to all aspects of life but will focus on how your abilities or lack of abilities or a sudden or gradual lowering of ability relates to work and family life. On your arrival you will be asked to complete a Oxford Personality Test. From this you will learn what ability it is that needs attention and improving. Whilst at our meetup you will also learn about some of the different technologies are that you find here which actively create, protect or enhance ability in key areas of life. The world cries out for better people (More Able People) that will lead happier life's with better better jobs, stronger families as well as community and businesses groups. Get The Know-How for life, attend our meetup or ask me for a time that is better suited to your schedule.
