-Outdoor Functional Training for All Fitness Levels- Join us as we combine healthy, balanced movement with fun, gamified ideas to give you our unique FUNctional training! And in case that doesn’t really tell you what to expect, just think short intervals of exercise combined together in a playful and interactive way to help you strengthen your body in a sustainable way while allowing you to meet new people (and often even forget how hard you’re working out). As a reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace - I mean, we’re not called My Pace for nothing! How to find us: We meet and train behind the calisthenics workout station on the Zirkuswiese of the Prater. Here a link to the location on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7 Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary. One other thing that’s useful to know: - In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain.

Der Fehler beginnt nicht beim Schreiben der Anforderungen, sondern schon beim Zuhören. Während dein Stakeholder spricht, füllt dein Gehirn Lücken mit eigenen Annahmen. Du filterst und verfälschst Daten, bevor sie im Backlog landen. Wir stoppen die mentale Autokorrektur. Wir behandeln die Worte deines Gegenübers wie eine schreibgeschützte Datei. Wer die Begriffe des Kunden durch eigene "Übersetzungen" ersetzt, baut technischen Schuldenberg auf, bevor der erste Sprint startet. **Clean Language** ist kein "Soft-Skill-Kuscheln", sondern ein präziser Abfrage-Algorithmus. Du lernst, deine Rolle als "interpretierender Experte" abzulegen und stattdessen die logische Struktur des Kunden zu extrahieren. **Das nimmst du mit** * Exquisites Zuhören: Du lernst, den Fokus zu 100% beim Gegenüber zu halten - ohne internen Filter. * 3 Basis-Fragen für saubere Daten: Wir üben die Syntax, mit der du Anforderungen erhebst, ohne sie zu kontaminieren (z.B. "Und was für eine Art von X ist dieses X?"). * Metaphern-Isolierung: Du erkennst vage Begriffe ("schnell", "sicher", "intuitiv") und lernst, deren spezifische Bedeutung für den Kunden freizulegen. **Der ​Trade-off** Du verlierst die Bequemlichkeit der schnellen Interpretation, gewinnst aber absolute Klarheit darüber, was wirklich gebaut werden muss. **Der Speaker** [Tobias Brennecke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-brennecke/) ist IT-Experte und Coach aus Dortmund, der mit der Methode Clean Language Kommunikationsblockaden in IT-Projekten löst. Mit 15 Jahren IT-Praxis hilft er Teams, klarer zu kommunizieren und Missverständnisse zwischen IT und Business zu überwinden. **Die Agenda** 🤗 17:30 Opening doors 🎤 Workshop mit Tobias 🥙 Anschliessend Networking 💰 Kostenlos **Die Sponsoren** 🏢 Location: [Gerstbach](https://gerstbach.at/) 🍽️ Catering: [FBC](https://fb-c.at/) **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich!

**Agenda:** 18:30 - Gather 18:45 - Talk: Change Management in SMEs & Startups 19:15 - Round Table Discussions: Your Project Issues 20:30 - Finish \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 TALK: Change Management in SMEs & Startups** *by Khurram Iftikhar* **Part 1:** Kübler-Ross Change Curve * How indivisuals within organizations deal with change * Empathy-based leadership * Practical use-cases from real experience **Part 2:** Agile Project Management * Manage expected changes * Documenting expected changes * Ensuring smooth delivery * Controlling scope, time and priorities * Personal experiences from Khurram and a meme or two ;-) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **👥 Round Table Discussions: Your Project Issues** Before and during the event we will be collecting issues from participants that we will discuss in a round table format.

Please note: The main part of this session will be held in **German**. **Raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Moment!** 🎭 Hast du das Gefühl, oft festzustecken oder alles perfekt machen zu wollen? Improvisationstheater ist das perfekte Training gegen Procrastination und Perfektionismus. Hier lernst du, dem ersten Impuls zu vertrauen und mit dem zu arbeiten, was gerade da ist. **Outdoor Vitality:** Training by the water is pure mindfulness. Nature helps calm your nervous system and instantly stops overthinking. Fresh air, open space, and improv—the perfect combo to clear your mind and boost your well-being. **Bonus für Körper & Geist:** Das Training am Wasser ist Achtsamkeit pur. Die Natur hilft dir, das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und das Gedankenkarussell sofort zu stoppen. Frische Luft, weite Sicht und Impro – die beste Kombi, um mentalen Ballast einfach abzuwerfen. **Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um: * 🌱 **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken. * ✨ **Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern". * 🧠 **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren. **Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit 1,5 Stunden lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen. **Wichtig:** Du machst nur das, worauf du Lust hast.
