Break Out: An uplifting talk about feeling down to improve mental wellness - Afke Teunen
An intern or colleague says: “I’m feeling down.” What do you say, what do you do, what does it even mean? Or perhaps you’re that colleague. Then what? Feeling down (somberheid) is one of the negative emotions pretty much every one experiences once in a while. Bottling up those feelings creates tension and can cause headaches and stomach aches. Talking helps and improves mental wellness, as long as it’s a positive and supportive conversation. This uplifting lecture helps you with that. After this lecture… You will have a better understanding of what ‘feeling down’ means. You will have insights in how to help others or yourself with these negative feelings. You will feel better prepared for a conversation in case you want to talk or when someone wants to talk to you. And no worries, the tone of voice of this lecture is not as heavy as the subject suggests. About the speaker Writer Afke Teunen is not a psychologist, but has had several. She has also interviewed many psychologists and coaches for the dozens of articles she wrote about (sports)psychology. And she just finished a book for sombre teenagers that will be published this summer. In this lecture she combines her own experiences with the knowledge, insights and advice she learned from experts.

Break Out: SecTalks Holland – Monthly Security Gathering
Join us for another monthly session of SecTalks Holland!     As always the sessions are open to all, technical or not technical background, beginner or experienced – to share thoughts, ask questions and perhaps some stories from your experience in the information security related topics areas discussed.     On a monthly basis, during the last Thursday of each month, this is a cyber security break out, continuing the SecTalk Holland’s series of gatherings at Venture Café, as part of the global SecTalks.org initiative!     In the past sessions, we touched on different topics: Application Security, Quantum Security, OSINT, Hacking Tools, Infosec Career Paths, Hardware Hacking, Financial fraud malware, Red teaming, and many more! Have some ideas for future topics? Let us know!     As always it’s an open conversation session so anyone can join, share thoughts, ask questions and we all learn together and from each other.     As per the event series, join this break out session for guest experts’ views and thoughts on a couple of infosec related topics, knowledge sharing and from time to time a short Capture The Flag competition! In a digital, all connected world, information security matters immensely! Part of the monthly catch up is walkthroughs of the CTF from the previous session – when these take place: winners from the last session of the CTF will guide us through how they solved the challenges! Do the same, and claim your CTF prizes as past winners have done (courtesy of Base Cyber Security).   See you there & more info here!   SecTalks is a non-profit session for technical security talks, and hands-on security challenges! A forum to learn & discuss technical (in)security stuff.
