Fuckup Nights Sydney: The Stories Nobody Puts On LinkedIn
Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM**🎟 Tickets are sold on Eventbrite only: [eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936)** **Your Meetup RSVP is not a ticket. Grab yours on Eventbrite, $33.** Three Sydney business owners tell the story of something that went properly wrong. And a mentalist closes the night. We often hear about the wins. Less often about the month someone made a hire who seemed perfect in the interview and it all went very wrong. That's what Fuckup Nights is for! Fuckup Nights is a global storytelling series running in 300+ cities. The format is simple: founders, owners and senior operators get on stage and tell the story of something that went badly wrong in their own business. What they did. What it cost. What they know now. No pitch decks. No "and that is when we raised our Series A". Just the things people normally only admit after the second drink. ## Speakers of the night **Nimarta Verma**, Founder, StorySharing A Stevie Award winning coach who helps leaders tell true stories. She has never told this one on a stage. Money for virtually no work. She thought she hit the jackpot until a phone call came... **Jasper Musgrave**, Founder & Managing Director, Twisted Truth Media "It was just a nightmarish period." Slow to hire, quick to fire - he learned it the expensive way, and he is going to tell you how. **Xavier Crow**, Mentalist & Human Dynamics Specialist, Real Human Dynamics 20+ years. 1,000+ events. 12+ countries. He reads people for a living, which also means he has a collection of nights when the trick did not work. Fair warning: he will know what you are thinking before you do. ## How the night runs * 5:30pm Arrive, grab a drink and grab your favourite seat * 6:00pm Welcome * 6:15pm First story & Q&A * 6:30pm Second story & Q&A * 6:45pm Break & networking * 7:00pm Third story & Q&A * 7:15pm The mentalist closes the night * 7:30pm Networking * 8:00pm Stay on for dinner and drinks at Cardea The night is off the record. The only way to hear this one is to be in the room. ## Where Cardea, Shop 2 T3.01, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000 Cardea is a cocktail bar made for live performance, right in the heart of Barangaroo. Think red velvet booths, glittering chandeliers and vintage furniture. The bar is named after Cardea, the Roman goddess of doorways. We're fairly sure she's also in charge of guarding all our speakers! Take a seat at the bar or get close to the stage in theatre-style seating. Or bring your friends and colleagues and make a booth your base for the night. About half the room comes alone, so come solo or bring your crew. Drinks and food aren't included in your ticket, but Cardea's full menu is available on the night. It's about a five-minute walk from both Wynyard Station and Barangaroo Metro. ## Who comes to this Founders, business owners, agency people, operators, and anyone who is quietly in the middle of their own fuckup right now and would like to feel less alone about it. **🎟 Tickets: [eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936)** See you on the other side of the door.

Conversation Confidence
Wed, Oct 14, 7:00 AM**How to start a conversation with anyone in the room, keep it going, and steer it where you want it.** > *“Asking ‘what do you do?’ at networking events is boring, predictable and often doesn’t work.” \~\~ Jonathan Lee* Great conversations open doors, and it’s a skill most people are never taught. This is a hands-on night. You’re on your feet practising, not sitting and listening. You leave pitch-ready, and having actually met the room. **Do any of these sound familiar?** **“I froze.” -** You got introduced to exactly the right person, and had nothing ready. **“I skipped it.” -** You avoid the rooms where those conversations happen. Part of you wishes you didn’t. **“I had my pitch. Then they asked something else.” -** Preparing what you want to say is the easy half. **“I did all the talking.” -** Conversation is two-way. Most preparation only covers your half of it. **You'll walk away with five things.** ☕ **Make a friend in a sixty-second coffee queue** Not small talk that dies at the counter. A short exchange that ends with someone glad they met you. 🎯 **A simpler way to say what you’re about** Short enough to say in a queue, clear enough that the right people lean in. 👂 **Listening that makes it better for both of you** The half of the conversation most people never practice. 😄 **When to use humour, and when to leave it alone** For the moment a conversation gets too serious, or slides off-topic. 🗺️ **Knowing which conversation you’re actually in** There’s more than one kind. Each one is worth something different, and they’re not interchangeable. **Why this isn’t a networking night.** You’ll be **practicing**, not listening. **Practice Sessions** **1\. Stop opening with “what do you do?”** *“Instead of starting a conversation by finding out what people do, be more interested in who they are and why they do it.”* **Jonathan’s own line**, and the first thing the night changes. **2\. You practise on each other** It’s a hands-on workshop. The icebreaker, all three sessions and the close are things you do, in pairs and small groups. **Nobody sits through a slide deck about rapport.** **3\. Curve balls are the point** You can rehearse your pitch. You can’t rehearse what they ask back. **Session three is the room asking each other the hard questions** and making the comments you didn’t see coming — on purpose, where it costs nothing. **Doors at 6:00. Finished by 8:00.** Doors open at 6:00pm with light snacks and drinks, and time to meet a few people. **The session itself starts at 6:30 and runs in five blocks.** **6:30 – 6:45** **Block 1 - Icebreaker** You introduce yourself to the group, the way Jonathan tells you to, which is designed to make you memorable. **6:45 – 7:05** **Block 2 - Spot the moment** Taking advantage of a networking situation as it turns up in front of you. **7:05 – 7:25** **Block 3 - Say what you’re about** Fine-tuning your values and your proposition so they stand out. **7:25 – 7:45** **Block 4 - Curve balls** On each other. The hard questions, and the comments you didn’t see coming. **7:45 – 8:00** **Block 5 - Conclusion** What you noticed about yourself, and about everyone else. 👉🏽 Register to attend this FREE event. 🎟️ Go to [https://sweh.yohi.app/johnathan-lee/](https://sweh.yohi.app/johnathan-lee/)
