Workshop: Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen, Deine Freundschaften & Beziehungen
Workshop: Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen, Deine Freundschaften & Beziehungen
**đŸ’¶ WertschĂ€tzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)** **Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.** Beziehungs- und Bindungstypen sind ein weit verbreitetes Modell, um typisches Verhalten in verschiedensten Beziehungen erklĂ€ren. Warum klammert jemand? Warum Drama? Warum RĂŒckzug? Warum KĂ€lte? Warum Unsicherheit, NervositĂ€t und Ärger? --- und wie sieht eine sichere & gute Beziehung aus (und fĂŒhlt sich an). Die Annahme: Ereignisse der frĂŒhen Kindheit & der Erziehungsstil unserer Eltern prĂ€gen, wie wir als Erwachsene unsere Partnerschaften, Freundschaften & Arbeitsbeziehungen leben. FĂŒr manche gut. FĂŒr manche weniger gut. Ich setze mich mit den Beziehungstypen auseinander, weil ich glaube, dass sie einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung von Freundschaften haben (und auf Liebesbeziehungen sowie menschliche Beziehungen jeglicher Art). Dabei habe ich entdeckt, dass ich oft einen vermeidenen Beziehungsstil habe - ich weiche lieber aus, trenne mich oder spreche Probleme nicht an, weil ich wahrscheinlich in meiner Kindheit aus unterschiedlichen Ereignissen gelernt habe... dass bringt eh nichts, ich kann anderen nicht vertrauen, das macht man nicht, meine BedĂŒrfnisse sind nicht wichtig, usw. In der Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungs- / Bindungstypen habe ich bemerkt, wie gut es mit tut, mit anderen mich darĂŒber auszutauschen. Weil: * Ich bin nicht allein. * Ich lernen die GefĂŒhle anderer kennen * Ich entwickle ein gutes GefĂŒhl fĂŒr die anderen Beziehungsstile (nicht nur meinen) * Ich löse das Thema fĂŒr mich Schritt fĂŒr Schritt - und werde immer sicher in meinen Bindungen & Beziehungen. In eine Workshop-Beschreibung zu schreiben, dass ich mich oft beim vermeidenden Beziehungsstil entdecke... ist kein Vermeiderverhalten mehr 😊. Halleluja! . **🎁 Das kannst erwarten** Ich lade Dich zu diesem Workshop ein, damit Du einen weiteren Schritt Richtung mehr Leichtigkeit & Ehrlichkeit in Beziehung gehen kannst. Ich werde eine kleine EinfĂŒhrung zu den Bindungsstilen geben - und dann steht der Austausch miteinander im Mittelpunkt: * Was sind Situationen, die mich triggern? * Wie geht es mir dann? * Wie reguliere ich mein Nervensystem? Meine Erfahrung ist: Austausch & Offenheit hilft, mit sich selbst und anderen relaxter zu werden. . Ein Link oder ein Buch zur Vorbereitung findest Du weiter unten. Es wĂ€re gut, wenn Du eines von beiden bereits gelesen hĂ€ttest oder von anderer Seite Vorwissen zu den Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen hast. . . **⏰ Die TĂŒren sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr. Komm am besten schon 18.15 Uhr** Mantel aufhĂ€ngen, Toilette, eine Runde schwatzen und los ... . **❓ Darf ein zweites Mal kommen?** Ja, sehr gern. Ich halte es sogar fĂŒr sinnvoll, mehrfahr zu kommen, wenn Dir der Workshop gefallen hat: Das Thema vertiefen, die eigenen Beobachtungen aus den letzten Wochen verarbeiten und sich mit neuen & alten Bekannten ĂŒber das Thema weiter austauschen. 💬 **Agenda** 18:15 Uhr - Doors Open & Ankommen 18:30 Uhr - Start des Workshops * EinfĂŒhrung, Vorstellung * Kleines Kennenlernen * EinfĂŒhrung in das Thema durch mich * VerstĂ€ndnisfragen * Verschiedene Austauschrunden mit Vertiefungsfragen (der grĂ¶ĂŸte zeitliche Anteil) * Offene Fragen 21:30 Uhr - Ende . Zwischendurch machen wir eine kleine Pause. . Tausche Dich mit Gleichgesinnten ĂŒber ein wesentliches Thema Deines Lebens aus. Du kannst immer wĂ€hlen, mit wem Du Dich in welcher Tiefe unterhalten möchtest. Dein GegenĂŒber natĂŒrlich auch :). Nein heißt nein, Ja heißt Ja đŸ€— . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Kieztreff in Berlin Mitte (mit sauberen Toiletten!). * nĂ€he Hackescher Markt. Sehr gut mit den Öffis zu erreichen. * Wenn Du vor Ort ankommst, ist alles ausgeschildert. . **🎒 Das bringst Du mit ...** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Wenn Du magst: Zettel und Stift. * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld fĂŒr den WertschĂ€tzungsbeitrag (10-20 Euro) . 📋 **Kann ich mich vorbereiten?** Ja! Vielen Menschen sind die Beziehungstypen bekannt. Wenn Du etwas Grundwissen hast, ist das sehr nĂŒtzlich fĂŒr den Workshop. Ansonsten empfehle ich diesen Link zu lesen: Link: [Welcher Beziehungstyp bin ich?](https://chrisbloom.de/blog/welcher-beziehungstyp-bin-ich-mit-test/) Dieses Buch ist eine sehr gute EinfĂŒhrung in den Workshop. Der Workshop wird sich daran orientieren: * **[Buch: Warum wir uns immer in den falschen verlieben](https://amzn.to/498A9js) (Werbung, Amazon-Link)** [Werbung: Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten VerkĂ€ufen.] Das Buch orientiert sich an Liebesbeziehungen, die Erkenntnisse sind meiner Meinung nach aber auf alle menschliche Beziehungen anwendbar. đŸš« **Was ist der Workshop nicht:** Der Workshop ist kein therapeutisches Angebot. DafĂŒr bin ich nicht ausgebildet (bisher noch nicht mal im Selbststudium). Wenn Du aufgrund der Erkenntnisse beim Lesen des Buches, der Links oder der GesprĂ€che auf dem Workshop zum Ergebnis kommst, dass eine Therapie fĂŒr Dich sinnvoll sein kann, dann wĂ€re das ein richtig guter Schritt. . đŸ’« **Warum der Workshop gut fĂŒr Dich ist** * Ich glaube: Niemand ist perfekt. (und gleichzeitig deshalb genau richtig 🙂) * Ich glaube, dass jeder in wenigstens minimaler Form manchmal Arten von unsicheren Bindungsverhalten zeigt * Gleichzeitig wird jeder im Leben mit Menschen zu tun haben, die ein unsicheres Bindungsverhalten zeigen. . Mit sich selbst und anderen reflektiert umgehen zu können, finde ich eine zentrale FĂ€higkeit im Leben. . Ich finde, dass gute menschliche Beziehungen sind der zentrale SchlĂŒssel zu einem erfĂŒllten Leben sind (das finden laut Jacobsstudie ĂŒbrigens 85 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland). . Die Bindungstypen / Bindungsverhalten sind meiner Meinung nach ein zentrales Modell, um gute menschliche Beziehungen fĂŒhren zu können. . đŸ§‘đŸŒ **Mehr ĂŒber mich:** Ich forsche seit 5 Jahren zu guten Freundschaften, wie man diese aufbaut und vertieft. Du erfĂ€hrst mehr ĂŒber mich auf [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de). Auf Meetup veranstalte ich Freundschafts-Workshops, Wanderungen, SpaziergĂ€nge, MĂ€nnerabende, Frauen-Freundschafts-Workshops und Themenabende zu Vertiefung psychologischer Fragen.

Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular ☀❄
Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular ☀❄
**Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular & reliable ☀❄** Exact time and date - we schedule together! Meetup once a week! Hello everyone, I’m looking for a like-minded person (or a small group) who would like to go ice bathing together once a week on a regular basis – preferably at Treptower Park and the surrounding area. The day and time are flexible for me; what matters most to me is reliability and consistency. I’ve been ice bathing for several years and value this practice greatly: as an energising time in nature, as a shared act of overcoming oneself, and as something that is noticeably beneficial for both body and mind. For me, it has positive effects on health, sleep, and recovery – and it’s a wonderful way to start the next week feeling light, uplifted, and content. After four years, my previous ice-bathing partner is unfortunately no longer able to join, so I’m now happy to meet new people. I’m open and enjoy coordinating flexibly. If you already have experience, or if you’re curious and would like to try it out in a committed way, feel free to get in touch. I’m looking forward to the exchange and to arriving together in the cold water. Warm regards, Till
Mavericks Bouldering — A Casual Climb & Hangout in Berlin
Mavericks Bouldering — A Casual Climb & Hangout in Berlin
A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone. This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly! Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself. Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense. **Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).** *Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

Rhetorik Training - Mut und Rede Toastmasters Neukölln
Rhetorik Training - Mut und Rede Toastmasters Neukölln
Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverĂ€n zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trĂ€gt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschĂ€tzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die BĂŒhne zu trauen. **Wie lĂ€uft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschĂŒtztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung ĂŒber sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer fĂŒr Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns ĂŒber vorherige Anmeldung: https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsĂ€tzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

Offener Leseabend
Offener Leseabend
## Wo & Wann? **JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene LesebĂŒhne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen) **BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr **ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr** beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/); Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. **SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA** **Großer Salon** Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz Grunewaldstr. 55 Der offene Leseabend stellt das HerzstĂŒck des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsĂ€tzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum prĂ€sentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann ĂŒben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. FĂŒr Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausfĂŒhrliche Information (mĂŒndliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr). *Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!* ## Was erwartet Sie? Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, ErzĂ€hlungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus TheaterstĂŒcken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik. Wir verstehen uns als ArbeitsbĂŒhne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht. Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche StĂ€rken und SchwĂ€chen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die StĂ€rken und SchwĂ€chen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er Ă€ndern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann. Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im CafĂ© der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins GesprĂ€ch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben. Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben. Reden Sie mit den Forumianern! ## Sie möchten selbst lesen? Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden. **Wir weisen ausdrĂŒcklich daraufhin, dass ĂŒber die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!** In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur fĂŒr drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverstĂ€ndlich zurĂŒck. # Wie ĂŒben wir Textkritik? Nach der Idee von Maik Turni ## **Anschleichen** **Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! ) **Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (NacherzĂ€hlung)) **Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch) ## **Unter der Lupe** **Was ist das fĂŒr ein Text?** (Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?) **Thema** (Welches Thema berĂŒhrt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff? Ist es ĂŒberzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?) **Figuren** (Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?) **Perspektive** (Wie verhĂ€lt sich die ErzĂ€hlperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?) **Sprache** (Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht? Was lĂ€sst sich zum Rhythmus sagen? Sind die SĂ€tze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?) **Dramaturgie** (Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzĂ€hlt?) **Bedeutung** (Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?) ## **KlarspĂŒler** Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor! Daher sollte der Text antworten. ## **WeichspĂŒler** Wird bei uns nicht verwendet. Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text! Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

Instead of three speakers in one evening, we do things differently. ​One morning. One speaker. One focused impulse. ​12 minutes. One voice.

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.

Today’s Global Leader with Christian Klein, CEO of SAP
Today’s Global Leader with Christian Klein, CEO of SAP
Few CEOs have transformed a global company at the speed of **[Christian Klein](http://www.sap.com/about/company/leadership/christian-klein.html)** of SAP. Since taking over as CEO at the age of 39, Klein has steered SAP through cloud transformation, the rise of AI, and unprecedented external headwinds – turning SAP into one of Europe’s most valuable enterprises. In conversation with journalist **[Astrid Frohloff](http://astrid-frohloff.de/)**, Klein will reflect on how to lead a global tech company in a fiercely competitive and fast-moving environment, what it takes to transform an organization at scale, and what this journey has required from leaders and employees alike. The discussion will explore strategic and political questions around AI, digital sovereignty, and Europe’s digital future. Leadership will be a central theme, including leading transformation at speed, maintaining trust during change, and the skills future leaders need in the age of AI. **[Thorsten Lambertus](http://www.linkedin.com/in/thorstenlambertus/)**, managing director of **[DEEP – Institute for Deep Tech Innovation](https://esmt.berlin/faculty-research/institutes/deep-institute-deep-tech-innovation?utm_term=&utm_campaign=DACH_master_performance_max&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=6648770021&hsa_cam=20837198872&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21173771244&gbraid=0AAAAADwC6fvKQH-uxEvSy6lCwCs39F8RU&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4_muz7SakgMVW8p5BB3rGjoUEAAYASAAEgLV0vD_BwE)** at ESMT, will set the stage with a perspective on deep tech, venture building, and how scientific breakthroughs are translated into scalable global ventures. As always, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions directly. **About the Today’s Global Leader event series** Today’s Global Leader is an ESMT event series in hybrid format.
