Master the Art of Better Decisions

This interactive session equips you with practical tools to enhance Emotional Intelligence (EI), manage cognitive biases and make better decisions by mastering System 1 (emotional reactivity) and System 2 (logical analysis) thinking where EI serves as the vital bridge between the two. By attending this session you will unlock: * Improved decision making: Reduce the "hidden tax" of cognitive shortcuts. Know when to trust our 'gut feelings' and when to switch to rational thought. * Greater performance under pressure: Learn to recognise triggers and pivot from reactive impulses to deliberate, strategic choices when the stakes are high. * Better collaboration: When you regulate your own System 1 responses, psychological safety flourishes, which leads to better collaboration. * Increased resilience: Build a team that doesn’t just survive volatility but thrives in it. ***Facilitators*** ***[Caidryn Roder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/caidyrn/):*** *Co-founded ProSocia and has over 20 years of experience helping people and organisations thrive.

FREE: Walk the Kangaroo Point - Green Bridges - City loop

Join us for a walk around the Kangaroo Point - Green Bridge loop. We'll meet outside Joey's Cafe. We walk across the top of the Kangaroo Point cliffs, along the Southbank waterfront, across the Neville Bonner Bridge through old city Botanical Gardens, about 5 city blocks, then back over the new Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, along Main Street to The Pineapple Hotel. The Walk is about 7kms and takes about 80 to 90 minutes. Meet at 5:55pm (or earlier) for 6:00pm Start. Walk at your own pace as we stop at a number of catch up points along the way so you won't get left behind. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome, but the dinner venue is not. Relax... Even if it your first time, we aim to make all feel welcome and it's a good idea to turn up a little early. Optionally... After the walk, we stop at the Pineapple Hotel for dinner and / or a drink, a great way to socialise in a group setting. The conversation is more dynamic in the group setting, so if your a bit shy you can enjoy being a listener, if there's a topic your passionate about, you can jump right in on it. The menu can be found here: https://pineapplehotel.com.au/garden-bar/ There is free parking from 5pm near Joey's Cafe, the Pineapple Hotel and the streets between. Plan on arriving a little early (10-15 minutes) we can have a chat and you have a buffer if traffic is poor. We do leave on time and once started I don't get a chance to check for messages as it is unsafe do while walking. If there is mild rain I'll do the walk, but, if it is pouring down or well set in, I'll just do dinner. Remember we are all adults so... I thank you as my guests that you bring your manners and be respectful! Please keep your RSVP up to date. It is seen by Meetup and your host as a sign of disrespect of you are a 'No Show' thank you. PLEASE NOTE This is NOT a formal organisation and has no public liability insurance. We are a group of people who get together, taking full personal responsibility at all times.

If you want to share humour, a personal story or let your work colleagues know your thoughts (nice ones please) then Toastmasters can help you express it. We have been told that we are the friendliest Toastmasters club on the coast and we intend to keep that title so come along and find out for yourself. It's never too late to increase your personal growth physically by standing in front of an audience, mentally by creating well structured speeches and emotionally by sharing your stories.

Eating Food and Telling Stories: Malaysia

A small dinner with strangers, stories, and delicious Malaysian food. Food has so much to tell - every dish carries memories. Enjoying the taste is great, but food becomes even more enjoyable when we know the story behind it. This event is not a lecture or a food tour; it is a dinner where we’ll eat together and talk about why we eat what we eat: how dishes travel, how flavours create memories, and how food becomes part of identity. I’ll guide the evening by choosing the dishes and sharing short stories about Malaysian food, ingredients, history, and culture, but the best version of the night is a conversation. Everyone is invited to taste, react, ask questions, and add their own perspective. It will be fun - we might debate the long-running Malaysia-Singapore nasi lemak rivalry, explore how laksa reflects centuries of migration, or look at how trade and colonial politics transformed flavours that many people now think of as traditional. You do not need to know anything about Malaysian food. You might be trying it for the first time, or you might have grown up eating it. Either way, the point is the same: to enjoy great food with good company and discover the stories behind the dishes. Coming alone is very welcome. Coming hungry for food and stories is even better. * Group size: 4-6 people * Duration: Around 1-1.5 hours * Cost: Free to attend; everyone pays for their own food and drinks, likely around $30–35 per person * The exact venue and dishes will be shared several days before the event. We'll be sharing a selection of dishes as a group, which is central to the experience. Because of that, this event may not be suitable for people with dietary restrictions
