Presentation Lab - Structured Communication Training for Professionals
This is an [in-person communication lab](https://www.presentation-school.com/berlin-presentation-lab) that helps professionals speak clearly and confidently under pressure using proven methods.
Most people donât struggle because they donât practice enough. They struggle because they practice without the right principles. This session focuses on deliberate, guided practice informed by performance psychology, neuroscience, and modern communication training.
**What You Will Do**
* Learn one science-based communication principle that improves real-world performance.
* Train that principle in structured speaking exercises designed for skill development.
* Receive clear, professional feedback you can apply immediately.
Practice and feedback are guided by experienced communication professionals who work with executives and senior professionals.
This is not peer-to-peer feedback or open discussion.
**Who Should Attend?**
* Non-native English speakers
* Professionals who present, lead meetings, or speak up at work
* Anyone who overthinks, freezes, or loses clarity under pressure
* People who want structured improvement, not just repetition
No prior experience is required.
**What This is NOT**
* A lecture.
* A motivational talk.
* A public performance.
* Unstructured open practice.
* Peer-led feedback or opinion-based critique.
**Before The Session**
Before the session, participants complete a short preparation form to clarify their goals and common communication challenges. This helps ensure the practice and feedback during the lab are as relevant and effective as possible.
**Optional:** Participants may submit a short video (1â2 minutes) or written questions. This is optional and used to personalise focus areas and examples during the session. No individual coaching is provided.
**After the Session**
Participants receive a short follow-up pack with key takeaways, practical drills, a reflection question, and guidance on next steps.
**Practical Information**
Language: English
Duration: 2 hours
Format: In-person, structured group lab
Address: ChausseestraĂe 86, 10115 Berlin
Healthy snacks and water provided.

Heaven Shall Burn and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER @ Colombiahalle
Because itâs marketed this way I have to call this a Heaven Shall Burn show, but itâs really about The Black Dahlia Murder, one of the finest technical melodeath acts ever to be.
Also, The Halo Effect and Frozen Soul, who are both solid bands.
Itâs a bit of a weird tour package given that Heaven Shall Burn is very firmly metalcore, but thereâs something for everyone on this lineup; the more melodic side of melodeath,blackened sonic assaults, and frenzied riff-fests abound here.

Business Netzwerken Berlin in Moabit am 11. März um 8:45 Uhr
Weil es beim letzten Mal so schĂśn war, treffen wir uns diesmal wieder im **CI Space auf der BugenhagenstraĂe 9, 10551 Berlin** (https://maps.app.goo.gl/dXaYKm8fkhBsxk42A). Vielen Dank an Iztok Petek, den Inhaber vom CI Space (www.facebook.com/cispaceberlin), der das wieder kostenlos fĂźr uns mĂśglich macht - bitte dankt es ihm nach MĂśglichkeit mit dem Kauf von 1, 2 Getränken vor Ort!
**Bitte seid spätestens 5min vor 9 Uhr da, da wir pßnktlich starten werden.** Die ersten sind i. d. R. bereits ab 8:30 Uhr da, um vorab schonmal ein bisschen durchzustarten mit dem Netzwerken :)...
Denkt daran **genĂźgend Visitenkarten,** bitte mindestens eine, mitzubringen fĂźr die moderierte Netzwerkrunde.
**Veranstaltungsort:**
CI Space (Berlin-Moabit)
BugenhagenstraĂe 9
10551 Berlin
Nächste **U-Bahn-Station**: U9 TurmstraĂe oder U9 BirkenstraĂe (jeweils ca. 5 Gehminuten).
**Start:** pĂźnktlich 08:55 Uhr (ab 08:30 Uhr sind sonst die ersten da)
Zum nun bereits 7. Mal verschlägt es uns nach Moabit! Unser neuer Moderator [Der Gottwald (siehe hier)](www.der-gottwald.de) lädt erneut ein und fßhrt euch durch den Morgen.
Wie immer bieten wir eine moderierte Netzwerkrunde fĂźr euch an, um neue Kontakte zu knĂźpfen und das eigene Business voran zu treiben, auĂerdem ist Zeit fĂźr etliche weitere Gespräche!
Ein ca. 15-minĂźtiger Impulsvortrag mit Kreativeinlage und ganz viel Mehrwert fĂźr euch ist auch wieder eingeplant - falls ihr bei einem zukĂźnftigen Treffen selbst einmal vortragen oder gar ein Treffen moderieren mĂśchtet, meldet euch gern bei uns. Dieses Mal erwartet euch ein interaktiver Vortrag von Johannes Schweig (https://johannesschweig.de/), der euch in aller KĂźrze näher bringt worum es bei UX Design geht und warum das auch euch - und nicht etwa nur Designer betrifft. Statt grauer Theorie schauen wir uns das praktisch an: In einer kurzen, spielerischen Ăbung entwickelt ihr in Zweierteams eine einfache LĂśsung fĂźr eine alltägliche Herausforderung, testet sie direkt mit einem Dritten und erlebt, wie schnell Annahmen sichtbar werden. Es geht nicht um schĂśne Screens, sondern darum, Gedanken greifbar zu machen, Feedback zu bekommen und gemeinsam bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Danke, Johannes - Business Netzwerken Berlin freut sich schon sehr auf deinen Kurzvortrag!
Die leckeren Getränke, Snacks oder was auch immer euch zum Kauf animiert hat, bezahlt bitte selbst ;)...

**(Fast) alle** GrĂźnder\*innen, StartUps, Freiberufler, Unternehmer und Unternehmensvertreter sind willkommen beim Business Netzwerken Meetup. Die Teilnahme ist generell kostenlos und **nicht** an eine Mitgliedschaft gebunden. **Bitte beachten:** Unternehmer mit Multi-Level Marketing-Geschäftsmodellen schlieĂen wir von unseren Veranstaltungen komplett aus, da wir hier die Erfahrung machen mussten, dass es dabei oft nur ums Verkaufen geht, und meistens kein echtes Interesse am Netzwerken und am GegenĂźber existiert. **Weiterhin** stehen wir deshalb auch allen Arten des Provisionsgeschäfts (Finanzoptimierer, Immobilienmakler, Versicherungsvertreter, etc.) extrem kritisch gegenĂźber und gestatten diesen keine Teilnahme an unseren Events. Solltet ihr der Meinung sein, ihr fallt nicht in diese Kategorie, obwohl ihr in einer der genannten Branchen arbeitet, so sprecht uns bitte im Vorfeld an.
Wir freuen uns darauf, auch **dich** persÜnlich kennenzulernen und dir bei der Entwicklung deines Geschäfts weiterzuhelfen!
12MIN.ME | BERLIN | STARTUP #1.2 đ
**đ¨đ¨đ¨ ATTENTION: we moved to luma. please RVSP [HERE](https://luma.com/12min.me_Berlin)đ¨đ¨đ¨**
# â[12min.me](https://12min.me/) START UP is a brand new morning format for bold ideas and fresh perspectives
âBerlin Startup Community, weâre launching something new.
Together with betahaus, weâre bringing the [12min.me](http://12min.me/) spirit into the morning.
â[12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP is a three-part breakfast series, embedded in the well-known betabreakfast format.
Instead of three speakers in one evening, we do things differently.
âOne morning. One speaker. One focused impulse.
â12 minutes. One voice. Zero fluff.
âJoin us for the first edition of [12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP, a compact morning session for founders, operators, creatives and everyone building things that matter.
â**âď¸ What to expect**
* âOne inspiring startup-related talk
* â12 minutes of sharp insight
* âCurated exchange over breakfast
* âThe familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day#
âđ **The formula stays the same**
* â12 minutes talk
* â12 minutes of Q&A
* â12 minutes of networking
âThe familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day
â**đ¤ Our speakers**
**Speaker 1 @March 5**
**[Jonathan Hegel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-beisiegel) from [FW Systems](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frachtwerk/)**
Jonathan is the CEO of FW Systems, a specialized system house for open source solutions and IT services with a fixed-price model. After years in traditional IT, where he regularly had to work night shifts due to emergencies, he decided to do things betterâfor customers and for IT professionals. Today, he help SMEs transform their IT from a constant work in progress to a reliable infrastructure they can depend on.
**Jonathan\`s talk: "How we are completely rethinking system administration as a service for your company"**
Companies cannot possibly do everything themselves. So things like accounting, logistics, and IT are outsourced to external service providers. In the IT sector, system houses have been doing very well for themselves in recent decades! Every little thing is charged for, and if there are any errors, the customer is expected to open a ticket. We are rethinking this! We are applying the âas-a-serviceâ concept from Airbnb, Uber, and Everstox to system administration and taking responsibility. Jonathan will show how this works in his talk.
â
**Speaker 2 @March 12**
**[Anne Biedermann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-biedermann/), independent wealth partner for women**
Anne has extensive experience across venture capital, single-family-office & HNWI investing, and early-stage operations. She works with investors who are building, inheriting, or stewarding wealth on how to allocate capital with clarity â particularly where venture capital intersects with long-term wealth strategy. Anne also invests personally, giving her a practitionerâs perspective on capital allocation decisions.
**Anna\`s talk: "Not All Capital Is the Same: Decoding Investor Behavior"**
Founders often assume all investors evaluate risk, timelines, and returns the same way and that assumption is costly. This session breaks down how funds, family offices, and individual investors actually make decisions, where founderâinvestor misalignment typically begins, and how founders can better position themselves for the right kind of capital, not just any capital.
**Speaker 3 @March 19**
**[Immo Ait Stapelfeld](https://www.linkedin.com/in/immoaitstapelfeld/), Co-Founder & CEO at [913.ai](https://913.ai)**
**"From Legal Complexity to Practical AI. How We Help Regulated Industries Use AI Without Losing Control"**
This presentation tells the story of Immoâs transition from a trained lawyer working in mass proceedings to an entrepreneur building AI products for regulated industries. His legal background, combined with hands-on experience as a founder, shaped a pragmatic view on AI. not as a disruptive replacement, but as a controlled and compliant tool. At[ ](http://913.ai)[913.ai](https://913.ai), this perspective enables conservative organizations such as insurers to enter the AI era in a way that respects regulation, responsibility, and existing teams while still unlocking real efficiency gains.
