Accelerated Serendipity - Planning To Be Lucky

Sat, Jun 13, 6:00 AM

From Transformational Leaders Collective

4.5

Most people think luck means random chance. This experiential learning session will mess with that assumption, and reveals how personal and professional transformation often begins with the opportunities we learn to notice, create, and act on. Yes, many people accidentally stumble into rewards. But for the rest of our lives, there is growing evidence that we are often the biggest limiter of our own success - including in situations involving random chance that could benefit us. Through interactive games, social experiments, roleplay scenarios, chain-reaction challenges, and coincidence simulations, we’re turning serendipity into something you can begin activating all around you. You’ll experience: 🎲 how to tweak conversation to bring up opportunities 🎲 invisible domino effects behind synchronicity 🎲 why energy, enthusiasm, and participation magnify possibilities 🎲 "being in the right place at the right time" more often 🎲 activate secrets of momentum no one talks about By the end of the session, you may begin questioning whether luck was ever truly random to begin with. Or at the very least…why not begin by asking: “What is the best that can happen?” if you attend this event. Secure your spot for this ticketed event at: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1585189 **ABOUT** 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.

People in this community are often facilitators and agents for change, let's apply our design thinking methods to how we work as well as what we produce. **About Sarah Stokes** Sarah has over 25 years of experience in the world of experience design, including leading product design teams at Atlassian, Domain, and Westpac. She holds a Master's in Business Coaching and has coached design and product leaders for nearly a decade. Sarah is curious about how we harness our human skills in design. She’s spoken on a number of topics including influence, wisdom, feedback culture, cognitive bias and good listening. **About Karina Smith** Karina is an award-winning strategic and service design leader with over 30 years’ experience helping government and social enterprises navigate operational complexity.

LTP 2026 Conversation Continued with Taufiq Khan

Thu, Jun 11, 7:30 AM

From LTP Events Sydney

From Her Collective Space | Dream Big, Build Bigger

**LTP 2026 Conversation Continued with Taufiq Khan** After one of the most talked-about sessions at Leading the Product 2026, [Taufiq Khan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/taufiqkhan/) is back for an intimate fireside chat to continue the conversation. Hosted by LTP Events and [The Onset](https://theonset.com.au/), this special evening will go deeper into the ideas, provocations, and practical insights from TK’s standout presentation at LTP 2026 — exploring why continuous synthesis is becoming one of the most important skills in modern product leadership, and how AI can help teams turn chaos into clarity. In a world overloaded with information, shifting priorities, and constant noise, how do product teams focus on what actually matters? Drawing on his experience across industries, TK will unpack how teams can better manage information, improve decision-making, move faster with confidence, and build what he calls a “context machine” — a smarter way to simplify inputs and create clearer outcomes. If you attended LTP 2026, this is your chance for an awesome double-dose of TK and an opportunity to go even deeper into the conversation. And if you missed the conference, you’ll discover why Taufiq as a fresh view on product and AI in general. Following the fireside chat, we’ll open things up for audience Q&A and networking — giving you the chance to connect with fellow product leaders navigating the same opportunities and challenge. **Evening timeline:** 5.30 – 6.15pm: Arrive, grab a drink, and connect 6.15 – 7.00pm: Fireside chat with Taufiq Khan and Q&A 7.00 – 8.00pm: Networking, conversation, and connection We’ll have light food and drinks covered — all we ask is that you bring your curiosity and your questions. [The Onset](https://www.theonset.com.au/?utm_source=chatgpt.com "https://www.theonset.com.au?utm_source=chatgpt.com") is one of Australia’s leading Digital, Product, Technology, Data, and Design recruitment and executive search firms, partnering with some of the country’s most recognised consumer, SaaS, retail, fintech, and technology businesses.

Her Tribe | Women’s Business Networking

Sat, Jun 6, 3:00 AM

From Unhurried Conversations Sydney

A monthly structured Networking Event designed for women who want to grow not only personally, but also in their business. Through meaningful conversations, and thought-provoking reflection questions, we challenge ourselves to think bigger, move with more clarity, and step outside of our comfort zones. 📝 **How it works** 1\. You’ll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to start the conversation\. 2\. Each round focuses on a different question designed to challenge your thinking and open up honest discussions around business and personal growth\. 3\. Every 20 minutes\, we rotate tables so you can connect\, share\, and gain new perspectives from different women in the room\. By the end, you'll walk away with fresh perspectives, new connections, and a little more clarity on what matters to you. **🔎 How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, you’ll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, you’ll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. That’s **Rabbit Bar**! 📲 **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on [Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace)
