Business Communication: Speak Clearly and Confidently in Meetings
Tue, Jul 7, 4:00 PM**This is a practical communication workshop in Berlin for international women in business working across corporate, consulting, startups, freelancing, entrepreneurship, or their own business, especially if they often have to make their point in rooms where confidence, clarity, and timing matter.** **You know what you want to say. But in the moment, you add too much context, soften the point, or wait too long to speak. Every time that happens, someone else gets the visibility, the credit, or the opportunity.** **That gap does not close by itself.** **The workshop helps you communicate with more clarity, confidence, and authority without sounding aggressive or over-rehearsed.** **This is a small group of max 20. You do not need perfect English.** #### **What you should expect** * Making your point clearly without over-explaining * Asking questions that sound confident, not apologetic * Disagreeing without backing down or burning the relationship * Giving a recommendation instead of hedging * Responding when someone interrupts, talks over you, or takes credit for what you said * Getting into the conversation when the room is moving fast and you cannot find your entry point #### **What you leave with** * A framework for clearer professional communication * Scripts for meetings, client calls, pitches, and stakeholder conversations * Responses for interruptions, dismissal, pushback, or being talked over * Practical language you can use immediately at work and in business * A follow-up email with the tools and scripts from the session **About the host** Sumita Kar is the founder of Take a Brava Leap (TABL), based in Berlin. She spent 13 years building her career across global teams, moving from associate level to Vice President across customer success, cross-cultural leadership, C-level client management, high-stakes escalations, negotiations, and commercial execution. In 2023 she was recognized as one of the Top 10 Best Indian Women Leaders from Germany by Women's Entrepreneur Magazine. She has navigated these rooms as an international woman where she was often the only one. She built this session so you don't have to figure it out the way she did.

The facilitators will also guide you on how to create zine and how to use the arts and craft material. **The event is free and there will be no donation box at the event, but your support is very much welcomed Donation Link: [Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/neurodivergentberlin)** **Where:** PopUp Gruppenraum 2 at Amerika Gedenkbibliothek **Facilitators:** [Agnieszka Błaszczak ](https://www.instagram.com/foxyberlin21/)(Aga), a multimedia artist, and [Cosmo](cosmo@kritische-maennlichkeit.com) (Visual Anthropologist). **Important Notes:** * If you can’t attend, please edit your RSVP to give the spot to others people. * The community is run by neurodivergent volunteers, so please help us create a positive experience. * Bring sensory tools (headphones, stimming toys, etc.), and we will have some available. * A quiet corner will be provided for breaks. * This event is for late-diagnosed adults (18+).

Neurodivergent Workshop with Futurium: What the future holds
Fri, Jul 3, 12:00 PMThis interactive workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to actively engage with and reflect upon the possibilities of tomorrow. **Organized in collaboration with [Futurium](https://futurium.de/en)**[,](https://futurium.de/en) the session is designed to be participatory, blending reflection, discussion, and creative hands-on activities. **Location:** **[Futurium](https://maps.app.goo.gl/uqRAq7npeFKubvbu5)**, see the workshop room on the map attached in this event. 📸 We will be documenting the event. However, we will fully anonymize all participants by covering faces with stickers in the final media. If you’d prefer not to be in any shot at all, you are welcome to step away briefly during those moments. **What to expect:** * **Introduction (approx. 20 minutes)** We begin with a journey into the past—examining historical postcards from the 19th and early 20th centuries that depict imagined futures. Participants are invited to explore and discuss these images together, considering what feels surprising, what turned out to be accurate, and how past visions compare to the technologies we know today. **Optionally,** we will also screen a short video featuring young people from 1966 sharing their predictions for the year 2000—offering an additional prompt for reflecting on how future visions are shaped by their historical and cultural context. * **Interactive Exchange (approx. 20 minutes)** Next, participants take part in a guided “opinion swap” exercise using prompt cards. This dynamic format encourages movement, discussion, and the exchange of diverse perspectives within the group—making space for a wide range of voices and viewpoints. * **Creative Activity (approx. 20 minutes)** To close, the group will collaborate on designing an “object from the future.” This hands-on exercise invites participants to imagine possible developments and express their ideas creatively—turning abstract speculation into tangible, shared visions. **About the Organizers:** This workshop is organized by[ Futurium](https://futurium.de/en) in collaboration with the Berlin Neurodivergent Community. Please keep in mind that all of berlin neurodivegrent community organizers are neurodivergent volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to make this event possible. We kindly ask for your patience, kindness, and mutual respect throughout the session—we are here to learn, share, and create together in a supportive environment. We look forward to welcoming you and exploring the future—together!
