Our first CTO Roundtable Berlin in 2026: **How Can I Become a Better CTO**: Many CTOs step into the role through strong technical expertise, only to discover that success increasingly depends on leadership, communication, and influence.

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**).

Liebe Finanzfreunde, ❄️🍷 Gibt es etwas Schöneres in der kalten Jahreszeit, als sich mit Gleichgesinnten in einem gemütlichen Lokal über Finanzen und das Leben auszutauschen? Im Vergleich zu einem gewöhnlichen Stammtisch werden wir verschiedene kulinarische Insidertipps Berlins erkunden – sei es italienisch, spanisch, chinesisch oder japanisch – und gleichzeitig wertvolle Geheimtipps für deinen Weg zu finanzieller und persönlicher Freiheit entdecken. **Themen, über die wir sprechen werden:** * Finanzielle Freiheit * Anlagestrategien bei Aktien * Kryptowährungen * Immobilieninvestitionen * Offene Fragen und persönliche Erfahrungen 🕒 **Zeit:** Ab 18:30 Uhr 📍 **Ort:** China Restaurant HuaTing, Strausberger Pl. 13, 10243 Berlin Steig ein – kulinarisch und finanziell! Beste Grüße, Euer Aktien für Alle Team ========================================== **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 Meetup Gruppe:** Shuying hat Mitte 2023 selbst ihren Weg zur erfolgreichen Anlegerin gefunden – von frustriert und überfordert zur begeisterten Aktieninvestorin mit Fokus auf Chartanalyse. Inspiriert durch die Methode von Raik Mandel gründete sie diese Meetup-Gruppe, um andere auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Selbstvertrauen, Klarheit und finanzieller Freiheit zu unterstützen. **Über Raik Mandel:** Raik hat mehr als 25 Jahre Erfahrung als Bauunternehmer, Immobilieninvestor und Aktionär. Seine Leidenschaft hat sich inzwischen mehr auf die Börse verlagert, da dies weniger Zeitaufwand erfordert, flexibler ist und auch in fallenden Märkten Gewinne ermöglicht. Er hat sich auf einfache Aktienanalysen mithilfe der Chartanalyse spezialisiert. Raik war langjähriges Mitglied im IIC (Immobilien Investment Club), ist Mitglied im IVD (Immobilien Verband Deutschland), im VTAD (Vereinigung technischer Analysten Deutschlands e. V.). Neben Aktien und Immobilien sind IPO's, Optionen und Kryptowährungen auch relevante Themenbereiche.
