The Life You Built. What's Next? an intimate dinner for people in reinvention
Mon, Aug 31, 8:30 AM🎟️ This is a ticketed event. Tickets are $110 (includes a welcome drink & dinner) and are purchased on Humanitix **an RSVP on Meetup does not reserve your seat.** Book your spot here → [https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention](https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention) We're seeing a shift: in culture, in trust, in work, even in how we relate to time. This is an intimate gathering for a small group of people who feel a little disconnected from their current chapter. Maybe it's work. Maybe it's the sheer volume of change these last couple of years. Perhaps it's a quieter sense of lost purpose, or lost continuity and the feeling of starting to wonder what's next. This is an evening to share where we are: how we got here. Talk about that we may not know where to go next. A friendly conversation about that space in the middle. You feel like something's shifting. A sense that what you built isn't quite what fits anymore, and you're starting to wonder what's next. This is a dinner for that feeling, that moment in life. Ten to fifteen people around one table, a warm room, and an honest conversation about the in-between: where you've been, what's changed, and what might be calling now. No stage, no expert, no fixing. Just real talk between people quietly navigating the same thing. **What we'll explore:** * What still feels true about the life you've built, and what's started to feel inherited or not something you want to keep doing. * What you might design differently, starting from who you are now **Who this is for:** * Professionals who feel that what they've built no longer quite fits * People sensing a quiet identity shift, curious about what's next * Anyone in the "I did all the things I was supposed to do, but something doesn't feel right" middle **What to expect:** * An intimate dinner: 10 to 15 people around one table * A welcome drink on arrival, dinner, and a guided, honest conversation * Safe, confidential, judgment-free: share what you want, or just listen * A chance to find connection with like-minded people and be part of a community of people wanting to reinvent themselves **What this is NOT:** * Therapy, crisis support, or coaching * A networking event * A pre-set framework, or a quick fix * A sales pitch 👉 Reminder: RSVP-ing on Meetup doesn't hold a seat. This is a ticketed dinner, secure your place ($110, includes welcome drink & dinner) on Humanitix: [https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention](https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention)

Ryde NFP Leaders Connect
Tue, Aug 4, 12:00 AMPurpose Without Profit Isn't Sustainable. Profit Without Purpose Isn't Meaningful. For years we've been told there's a choice. You can build a profitable business, or you can build a purpose-driven one. This isn't true. The businesses creating the greatest impact today understand something different. Purpose gives you direction. Profit gives you sustainability. One without the other rarely lasts. It shouldn't be so hard to do good, but that's exactly what it feels like running a Not-for-Profit (NFP). In a world full of options and information, it’s easy to feel like there are too many fish in the sea - each swimming past in a blur. **NFP Ocean** is here to make impact easier! We’re bringing together Local NFP Community leaders like you, to enjoy networking with your peers to build new relationships, open opportunities for collaboration, and to celebrate the launch of **NFP Ocean** and our Community Connection program of events. There will be a great guest speaker panel talking about the 8 Key Things your NFP needs to Thrive. Be part of shaping the future for NFPs, participate in our live polls and interactive panel. It's a chance to: * Strengthen your local connections * Gain practical insights you can apply immediately * Meet other leaders navigating similar challenges * Be part of shaping a more connected and supported NFP community Do you believe businesses should actively pursue purpose alongside profit, or should they remain separate? Whether you're a business leader, consultant, technology provider, accountant, lawyer, marketer, or an NFP leader, this conversation is relevant to you. We look forward to meeting you there and build something meaningful together. RSVP now to secure your spot (seats are limited).

CBD Sydney Chamber Women in Business
Wed, Jul 29, 12:30 AM**Leading Through Self Doubt:** **Why Capable People Question Themselves** What if confidence isn't the problem? We're told to be more confident. Read the books. Push yourself. Fake it until you make it. But what if the real issue isn't confidence at all? In a world where change is constant, roles are evolving, and we're expected to make decisions faster than ever, many capable professionals find themselves second-guessing their judgement, waiting for certainty, or believing they need to know more before they can contribute. These aren't personality traits. They're patterns. Patterns shaped by experience, expectations, workplaces and the stories we tell ourselves. And unless we become aware of them, they quietly influence how we show up, the opportunities we pursue, and the impact we're capable of making. Join us for a different kind of conversation—one that goes beyond imposter syndrome and confidence hacks to explore why highly competent people still hold themselves back, and how changing our patterns can change the way we lead. Because confidence doesn't come first. Awareness does.

Harbour After Dark brings together Sydney locals who are driven, social, established in what they do, and value genuine conversation, authentic connection, and meeting like-minded people in person. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling, and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine, and energising. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established social gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
