April Meet-up
“Worst Idea ever!”
DATE: Friday, April 24, 2026
This time, we did something a little different!
Instead of a short opening talk, we dedicated the session to finding solutions for our business challenges.
Our group is made up of talented and professional women, and this meeting was an opportunity for each of them to receive focused support for their own business.
Maya Raz gave a presentation about “The Worst Idea Ever” methodology for finding creative solutions to complex problems. After that, we worked in groups of 4 and deep dived into using the tool to find solutions to different business problems the members have.
It was a meetup full of inspiration, collaboration and new connections!
