**Authentische Ehrlichkeit - Ein Einführungs-Workshop** **💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag vor Ort: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)** . \-\-\-\-\-\-\- . Gute Freundschaften leben von Ehrlichkeit & Vertrauen. . Gute Freunde kennen sich, wie ihre linke Westentasche: ihr Leben, ihre Gefühle, ihre Wünsche, ihre Einstellungen, ihre guten & ihre schlechten Seiten. . Gute Freunde können „Ja“ sagen, wenn es ein „Ja“ ist; und sie können „Nein“ sagen, wenn es ein „Nein“ ist. . Gute Freunde können sich sagen, was sie aneinander mögen, und sie können sich sagen, was sie nicht so toll finden. . **🙂 Ehrlichkeit als Basis guter Beziehungen** Ehrlichkeit ist die Basis, damit Nähe und Verbindung entstehen kann. . Sich hinter Masken und (unbewussten) Lügen zu verstecken steht dieser Verbindung im Weg. . Ich glaube alle Beziehungen im Leben werden vertrauensvoller, wenn man miteinander ehrlich ist: Liebensbeziehungen, Arbeitsbeziehungen, Freundschaften und selbst die Beziehung zur Bedienung im Café. . **🍀 Dieser Abend ist eine Einführung in die Ehrlichkeit.** Du erfährst, * warum „Lügen“ mehr ist als das bewusste Verdrehen von Fakten. * wie Du im Leben mehr von dem bekommst, was Du wirklich willst, weil Du Dich auf Ehrlichkeit einlässt. An diesem Abend werden wir in kleinen Schritten Ehrlichkeit üben, auch in unbequemen Situationen. . Du nimmst praktische Ehrlichkeitsübungen mit, die Du sofort im Alltag und in Deinen Freundschaften umsetzen kannst. **🧡 Zwei Worte über Ehrlichkeit** Ich habe mich lange versteckt, wollte meine schwachen Seiten, meine Ängste, Gefühle & Unzufriedenheiten nicht zeigen – immer mit der Angst, abgelehnt zu werden. . Irgendwann stieß ich auf Radikale Ehrlichkeit und buchte ein Wochenendseminar. Es war so befreiend! . Meine Erfahrungen findest Du hier: [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht) . Danach habe ich das 8-Tages-Retreat gemacht, wo es wirklich ans Eingemachte ging. . Ich habe festgestellt, dass Ehrlichkeit meine Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen deutlich verbessert. . Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich deutlich wohler, weil ich mich nicht mehr verstecke. Ich bekomme meine Probleme gelöst (weil ich darüber spreche) und meine Wünsche erfüllt (weil ich darüber spreche). . Dieser Workshop ist mein Einstiegsbeitrag zu mehr Ehrlichkeit in Beziehungen und Freundschaften. . #### 👱🏼‍♂️ Über mich: * Mein Name ist Georg Preller * Ich bin Betreiber der Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de) * Ausgebildeter NLP-Lehrtrainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach * Jahrelang selbstständiger Unternehmensberater * Eigene Vita: Von schüchternen Jungen zum fitten Mann * Mehr über mich: [LinkedIn - Georg Preller](https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-preller/) . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr.** Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's... . **❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?** Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang. . Einige kommen immer wieder, um die kleinen Übungen nochmals im gesicherten Rahmen auszuprobieren oder aus Neugier, wie andere ihre authentische Ehrlichkeit leben. . Das Workshopprogramm ist auch jedesmal etwas anderes - je nach Gruppe und zunehmenden Erfahrungen. . **🎒 Was bringst Du mit?** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für Wertschätzungbeitrag . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum in Berlin Mitte * saubere Toiletten * Gut mit Öffis zu erreichen nähe Hackescher Markt * Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert. . **Wegbeschreibung vor Ort:** * Vor Ort ist alles augeschildert.

Women Techmakers Berlin and SPICED Academy are joining forces to host an evening focused on both building *efficient AI systems* and navigating the real challenges of building a *career in tech*—beyond just learning technical skills. ## Talks Talk 1: Confidence Beyond Skills - What Really Holds Women Back in Tech Careers - by Marina Matveevskaia Many women in tech keep investing in new courses, skills, and certifications, yet still feel stuck or “not ready enough” to take the next career step. In this talk, we will look beyond technical competence and explore the less visible factors that often shape career growth much more strongly — such as self-trust, fear of visibility, internalized expectations, and the emotional impact of burnout or layoffs. I will share common patterns I see in highly capable women and why “just improving skills” is often not the real barrier. Participants will leave with new perspectives and simple reflection tools to better understand what is holding them back and how to move forward in a more sustainable and aligned way. Talk 2: Efficient Agentic Systems - by Jane Waithira Let Classical ML Do the Heavy Lifting, Let Agents Do the Thinking There’s a temptation to throw an LLM at every problem—but the most effective systems take a different approach. This talk explores how to combine deterministic, classical machine learning for predictable tasks with LLM-powered agents for reasoning and decision-making—so you can build systems that are fast, cost-effective, and reliable. ## Speakers **Jane Waithira:** Jane Waithira is an innovative, solution-oriented developer working in AI/ML, currently at SAP in Germany, where she integrates applied AI and GenAI for SAP's own cloud infrastructure. With over five years of experience building production AI systems, Jane has established her skillset in practical applications of ML and GenAI. Her talk will provide attendees with a practical framework for building efficient agentic systems that combine deterministic classical ML with the flexibility of LLM-powered agents. [https://www.linkedin.com/in/waithira-macharia/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/waithira-macharia/) **Marina Matveevskaia:** Marina Matveevskaia is a Professional Identity and Transition Coach working primarily with women in tech and international professionals in Germany. With over 14 years of experience in the IT industry, including leadership roles, she understands the unique pressures and challenges women face in fast-paced, male-dominated environments. In her coaching practice, Marina focuses on burnout prevention, impostor syndrome, and career transitions, helping highly capable women build sustainable and fulfilling career paths. She also collaborates with the German Employment Agency (Arbeitsagentur) as an AVGS coach, supporting women in their return to the labour market. [www.linkedin.com/in/marina-matveevskaia](http://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-matveevskaia) ## Why Attend? * Learn from women working in Tech * Get inspired by real stories and practical advice * Connect with like-minded people in a supportive space * Discover career paths across Tech & AI * Network with the WTM & SPICED community Join us for an evening of inspiring talks, practical insights, and meaningful connections in the heart of Berlin’s tech community. ## About SPICED Academy SPICED Academy is a Berlin-based tech bootcamp that helps people transition into tech through intensive, hands-on training. They offer both in-person and online programs across data analytics, data science, web development, and AI, with a strong focus on real-world projects and career support. https://www.spiced-academy.com/en ## Inclusivity Statement Women Techmakers Berlin is committed to creating a **safe, inclusive, and welcoming space**. This event is open to people of all genders who support diversity in tech.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
