Business Strategy

Hast du Angst, vor Publikum zu sprechen? Verlangt dein Beruf Präsentationen, Pitches oder Vorträge? Wirst du nervös, sobald alle Augen auf dich gerichtet sind? Verlierst du manchmal den roten Faden oder merkst, wie deine Zuhörer gedanklich auf Wanderschaft gehen? Dann bist du bei uns genau richtig. Bei Toastmasters trainierst du deine Redekunst in einem sicheren, wertschätzenden Umfeld. Schritt für Schritt. Rede für Rede. Mit klarem Feedback und echter Unterstützung. Hier wächst nicht nur deine Technik, sondern auch deine Präsenz. ## So läuft ein typischer Abend ab 🎤 Der Abend wird von **Alexandra, unserer Präsidentin**, eröffnet. Sie führt durch das Programm und sorgt dafür, dass sich Gäste wie Mitglieder gleichermaßen willkommen fühlen. ### 🗣 Vorbereitete Reden (meist 4 Reden à 5–7 Minuten) In der Regel erwarten dich vier vorbereitete Reden. Persönlich, inspirierend, humorvoll oder nachdenklich. Jede Rede dauert zwischen 5 und 7 Minuten und ist Teil eines individuellen Lernwegs. ### ☕ Pause Zeit zum Austausch, Durchatmen und Kennenlernen. ### ⚡ Stegreifreden (1–2 Minuten) Hier wird es spontan. Ein Impuls, eine Frage, ein Gedanke. Auch **mutige Gäste** dürfen sich ausprobieren und ganz ungezwungen Bühnenluft schnuppern. ### 📝 Feedbackteil Nun kommt der vielleicht wichtigste Teil des Abends. * **Bewertungsreden** zu den vorbereiteten Reden (je 2–3 Minuten) * Feedback weiterer Rollen wie Zeitnehmer oder Sprachstilbewerter * Ein **Gesamtbewerter**, der den Abend als Ganzes reflektiert Das Feedback ist konstruktiv, konkret und immer wertschätzend. Es zeigt Stärken auf und gibt klare Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung. ### 👋 Verabschiedung Zum Abschluss rundet Alexandra den Abend ab und gibt einen Ausblick auf kommende Treffen. ### 🍽 Danach: Restaurant & Socializing Wer mag, kommt mit ins Restaurant. Dort wird weitergeredet, gelacht, diskutiert und vernetzt. Wenn du lernen willst, klarer zu sprechen, souveräner aufzutreten und deine Botschaften wirkungsvoll zu platzieren, dann komm einfach zum nächsten Clubtreffen. Die Bühne wartet nicht auf Perfektion. Sie belohnt Mut. ✨

Liebe Meetup-Community, schön, dass du hier bist. Suchst du gerade nach einem neuen Funken für dein Leben? Pass auf: Diese Veranstaltung wird dich vielleicht nicht nur unterhalten und inspirieren – sie könnte deine Sicht auf die Dinge (und damit dein Leben) grundlegend verändern. Wenn du bereit bist, lies weiter. **Findest du dich in einer der folgenden Situationen wieder?** * **Frust trotz Erfolg:** Du (und vielleicht dein Partner) hast eigentlich alles „richtig“ gemacht – Studium, Karriere, gutes Gehalt. Aber durch die Inflation und steigende Kosten fühlt es sich nicht mehr selbstverständlich an, eine hohe Lebensqualität zu führen (beim Einkaufen, beim Urlaub buchen oder beim Eigenheimkauf). Hinzu kommen Bedenken über die Altersvorsorge aufgrund des aktuellen Rentensystems. * **Was nun nach den ersten Schritten?** Du hast dich schon an Aktien, ETFs, Krypto, Immobilien usw. herangetraut, aber der Weg zu deinem Traumleben sieht noch unendlich weit oder ungreifbar aus. * **„Selbst“ und „ständig“:** Du hast den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit gewagt, fühlst dich aber gestresst – sei es wegen der Finanzen, dem Zeitmangel für dich und deine Familie oder beidem. **Stell dir vor, du gehst nach diesem Abend so nach Hause:** * **Antrieb:** Du erkennst, dass dein eigentlicher Traum, den du vor Jahren in die Ecke geschoben hast, doch möglich ist. * **Klarheit:** Du weißt jetzt, was dein nächster Schritt ist – und du hast richtig Lust, ihn zu gehen! * **Freude:** Du stehst am nächsten Tag nicht mehr aus Pflichtgefühl auf, sondern aus echter Freude. **Was wir machen:** Wir treffen uns in lockerer Runde und spielen das **[Cashflow-Spiel von Robert Kiyosaki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashflow_101)**. Keine Theorie, sondern Spiel bzw. Simulation pur. Wir probieren auf dem Brett Sachen aus, die man im echten Leben vielleicht gar nicht sieht oder sich nicht traut – und lernen dabei extrem viel über unser eigenes Geldverhalten. Wir lachen viel, tauschen uns ehrlich aus und kommen als Gruppe weiter. **Der Plan:** * **18:30 Uhr:** Ankommen, Drink schnappen, kurz quatschen. * **19:00 Uhr:** Spielstart (ca. 90 Min.). * **Danach:** Offene Runde. Wir reden Tacheles – über Aktien, Krypto, Immobilien und deine persönlichen Erfahrungen. Steig ein – spielerisch, ehrlich und vielleicht ist das hier der Startschuss für dein neues Leben. Beste Grüße und bis dann, Shuying ========================================== **Wer wir sind:** Wir sind eine vielfältige Gruppe von Menschen, die entdeckt haben, dass strategisches Aktienhandeln für jeden zugänglich ist. Unser Ziel ist es, unsere gemeinsame Erfahrung zu teilen und Anfänger im Aktienhandel zu inspirieren, sich sinnvoll und emotionsfrei zu investieren. Wir glauben fest an das Konzept des gegenseitigen Lernens – indem wir dir helfen, lernen auch wir von dir, und schaffen so eine Win-Win-Situation für alle. **Was wir glauben:** * Erfolgreiches Aktienhandeln ist keine exklusive Domäne für Finanzexperten. * Das Verstehen von Aktien und das Treffen informierter Anlageentscheidungen ist für jeden erreichbar. * Du benötigst keinen Abschluss in Betriebswirtschaft, um die Prinzipien der Wertanlage zu verstehen. * Technische Aktienanalyse ist nicht nur für Finanzprofis gedacht; es ist eine Fähigkeit, die du erlernen kannst. **Über die Gründerin dieser Meetup Gruppe:** Shuying hat Mitte 2023 selbst ihren Weg zur Anlegerin gefunden – von der Frustration und Überforderung zur begeisterten Aktieninvestorin, nachdem sie die Grundlagen der Chartanalyse gelernt hatte. Inspiriert durch diese Erfahrung gründete sie diese Meetup-Gruppe, um andere auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Selbstvertrauen, Klarheit und finanzieller Freiheit zu unterstützen.

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

**Fuel, Focus, and Founders: Join our Coworking Day!** Tired of staring at the same four walls? Let’s change the scenery. 🚀 We’re hosting a full day of coworking, and you’re invited! Whether you’re deep in "deep work" mode or looking for your next big collaboration, this is the place to be. * **The Perks:** A desk for the day, plus all the water and coffee you need to stay sharp. * **The Goal:** Meeting potential co-founders / partners, getting feedback and business insights, and expanding your network. * **The Bonus:** Get the inside scoop on what we’re building at **Berlin Startup School** and how we can help your journey. You also get to know **The Delta** if you are looking for a desk or office. Come for the co-working, stay for the community. See you at the Delta! This event is co-sponsored by our amazing Partner The Delta. If you are looking for a flex-desk, fixed-desk or office, hit us up for a discounted offer.

**🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION: we moved to luma. please RVSP [HERE](https://luma.com/12min.me_Berlin)🚨🚨🚨** # ​[12min.me](https://12min.me/) START UP is a brand new morning format for bold ideas and fresh perspectives ​Berlin Startup Community, we’re launching something new. Together with betahaus, we’re bringing the [12min.me](http://12min.me/) spirit into the morning. ​[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. ​One morning. One speaker. One focused impulse. ​12 minutes. One voice. Zero fluff. ​Join 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. ​**✔️ What to expect** * ​One inspiring startup-related talk * ​12 minutes of sharp insight * ​Curated exchange over breakfast * ​The familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day# ​🚀 **The formula stays the same** * ​12 minutes talk * ​12 minutes of Q&A * ​12 minutes of networking ​The familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day ​**🎤 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 better—for 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 “as-a-service” concept from Airbnb, Uber, and Everstox to system administration and taking responsibility. Jonathan will show how this works in his talk. ​ **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 — particularly where venture capital intersects with long-term wealth strategy. Anne also invests personally, giving her a practitioner’s 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 founder–investor 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 Immo’s 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. ​📅 **The series at a glance** [12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP consists of three independent sessions.

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***
