**Important! Please register on [Luma Page](https://luma.com/8d2zd6a6)** 🎤 **Calling everyone who wants to get better at presenting, thinking on the spot, and communicating ideas clearly.** Most of us have prepared presentations. But real life doesn’t always give you that luxury. Being able to **structure your thoughts quickly, explain ideas clearly, and stay confident in unpredictable situations** is a different skill. At this session, we’ll practice exactly that — in a format that’s structured, practical, and a bit chaotic (in the best way). If you want to get more comfortable presenting without overthinking, this event is for you. ## **We’ll work on:** * how to structure ideas clearly and quickly * how to present without a script * how to stay confident when you don’t fully know what’s coming * how to communicate in a way people actually follow **What to expect** We’ll start with a **simple, practical framework** for building clear and engaging presentations. Then we’ll break into smaller groups to **think, discuss, and prepare ideas together**. And then — **presentation karaoke**. You’ll get slides you’ve never seen before and present them on the spot. No preparation, no perfect script — just real-time thinking and communication. **Agenda** 18:00-18:30 — Arrivals & introduction 18:30-19:15 — Workshop & group work 19:15-20:30 — Presentation karaoke 20:30-21:00 — Networking **Who is this event for?** Anyone who wants to: * get better at presenting ideas * feel more confident speaking in front of others * practice thinking and communicating under pressure **Where & When?** 📍 **[SPICED Academy]()**, Ritterstraße 12-14, 10969 Berlin 📅 April 22, 2026 🕕 18:00 – 21:00 Spots are limited, so make sure to RSVP. **Important!

**Einladung zur Flowgame-Session im Rahmen "Tag der Erde 2026"** In einer Zeit, die für viele von uns unsicher und herausfordernd ist, tragen wir alle auf die eine oder andere Weise Ängste in uns. In dieser Flowgame-Session möchte ich einen Raum öffnen, in dem wir uns diesen Ängsten gemeinsam zuwenden können – im Gespräch, im Austausch und getragen vom Flowgame als Struktur und Halt. Mehr zum FlowGame hier: www.flowgame.net Es geht darum, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen: über das, was uns bewegt, was uns Sorgen macht und was uns vielleicht auch Mut gibt. Indem wir unsere Erfahrungen teilen, können wir uns gegenseitig unterstützen und möglicherweise neue Perspektiven und Zuversicht für die Zukunft finden. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei vor allem der ehrliche Austausch über Ängste – weil sie zu uns gehören und gehört werden wollen. Ich freue mich auf eine achtsame, offene Runde mit euch.

**ESMT Insight Hour with Paul M. Achleitner** **Schedule:** 5:30 p.m. - Registration opens 6:00 p.m. - Welcome from host, ESMT Berlin 6:05 p.m. - Talk of Paul M. Achleitner 6:30 p.m. - Discussion and Q&A 7:00 p.m. - Networking, drinks and nibbles will be provided 8:30 p.m. - Close Experience used to accumulate slowly. Today, decisions travel instantly, legitimacy can evaporate overnight, and leaders operate under permanent public scrutiny. So how do you lead and stay legitimate in a world that no longer feels stable? In this ESMT Insight Hour, **[Paul M. Achleitner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-achleitner/)** joins us for a moderated conversation on leadership, corporate legitimacy, and performance in times of geopolitical disruption, digital transparency, and shifting societal expectations. Drawing on more than four decades across Goldman Sachs, Allianz, Deutsche Bank, and multiple supervisory boards, and reflecting the themes of his recent book, *Accelerate Your Experience: Principles for Success in a Fluid World*, Achleitner proposes three interconnected dimensions of modern management: * **Legitimacy** – why companies must earn their place in society beyond financial performance * **Performance** – how sustained value creation requires focus, discipline, and strategic clarity * **Leadership** – what integrity, intellectual humility, and judgment mean in an era of permanent visibility Rather than offering prescriptions, he distills experience into principles on stakeholder dynamics, public attention, geopolitical disruption, AI, crisis management, and the realities of “muddling through.” The conversation will explore: * Why legitimacy has become the decisive constraint for corporations * How leaders balance long-term value creation with short-term scrutiny * What performance really means when underperformance becomes normalized * The evolving role of boards in turbulent environments * Whether experience can, in fact, be “accelerated” Join us for an hour of reflection on leadership under pressure and on what it takes to remain effective, credible, and resilient. Moderated by **[Jörg Rocholl](https://esmt.berlin/person/jorg-rocholl)**[,](https://esmt.berlin/person/jorg-rocholl) President, ESMT Berlin. **About the speaker** **[Paul M.

Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).** . **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.** . +++++++++++++++++ **🌻 Mehr zum Inhalt** Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man * sich nicht öffnen kann, * zu schüchtern ist, * andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt * klammert * zu viel will * wegrennt * nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft * schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat * oder oder oder ... . ... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein. . Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg. . Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger. . Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne. . In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf. . Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte Gefühle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten Gefühle 🦋🌞🌻🤗. . Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heißt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu! . Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den Prägungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben. . **Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf für Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!** . Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat. . Dabei können wir so offen sein, wie wir möchten. Nichts muss, nur kann. Wir sprechen auch darüber, wie Du einige dieser Prägungen auflösen kannst. . **Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen.

"Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Über sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen." . "Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, Gefühle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darüber unterhalten können." . "Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. Außerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran." **+++++🔷 Hintergrund** **👱🏽‍♂️ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.** Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de).
