**This Meeting’s Theme: “Resilience”** Resilience is the speaker's secret weapon! It’s not about giving a *perfect* speech; it's about how you recover when you stumble . It’s the power to find your place after a brain-freeze , to face the audience with courage , and to come back next week even stronger. So let's share our stories of bouncing back and celebrate the powerful growth that only comes from true persistence! \*\*\* You can **pay directly via Meetup**! For this meeting, we’re collecting **CHF 37**, which also includes a delicious dinner prepared by the restaurant. That’s dinner *and* personal growth in one go—what a deal! ️✨ Per default, you're in for the vegetarian option. If you want meat, let us know via PM before Sunday! \*\*\* ** Practice public speaking, sharpen your communication, and grow your leadership skills** Ever wanted to feel more confident speaking in front of others? Or perhaps become a better communicator and leader? Toastmasters is the perfect place to challenge yourself in a warm, supportive, and safe environment.

With over **16,600 clubs worldwide**, Toastmasters helps people reach their full potential as confident speakers and inspiring leaders. \*\*\* ** Welcome to Zuriberg Toastmasters Club** We usually meet on the **2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tuesday** of each month in the beautiful **Zunftsaal** at *Restaurant zum Grünen Glas* in Zurich. (We’ll always notify you if there's a change in venue.) \*\*\* **️ What to expect at a meeting** Each meeting is hosted by the **Toastmaster of the evening**, who welcomes guests and introduces the *Word of the Day*.

**Are you tired of ending up in 4.5-star tourist traps?** We've all been there: Google and TripAdvisor promise the ‘best steak in town,’ but you end up in a sponsored ranking that doesn't match your vibe. In a world full of bought reviews, the question arises: How can we find a restaurant that suits our taste from the wide selection and ratings available?

Find out first-hand: * Why the classic algorithm has had its day. * How to find a free table in a suitable restaurant at short notice? * What highs and lows has the founding team of this tech start-up experienced from the initial idea to the present day? * How hyper-personalised data will change our decisions in the future? A big thank you in advance to our location sponsor **[Starbucks](https://www.starbucks.ch/de)**. The first drink is on us! *** **Bist du es leid, in 4.5-Sterne-Touristenfallen zu landen?** Wir alle kennen das: Google und TripAdvisor versprechen das „beste Steak der Stadt“, aber am Ende sitzt man in einem gesponserten Ranking, das nicht zum eigenen Vibe passt.

Er stellt sich im Talk den Fragen von **[Stephan Oehen](www.linkedin.com/in/stephanoehen)**, Young Talents Club-Gründer und Managing Partner Oehen PR. Tobias und sein Team revolutionieren die Gastroszene, indem sie den „Einheitsbrei“ der 5-Sterne-Systeme durch eine Mischung aus Social Feed und intelligentem Matching ersetzen. Erfahre aus erster Hand: * Warum der klassische Algorithmus ausgedient hat? * Wie in kurzer Zeit einen freien Platz in einem passenden Restaurant finden? * Welche Höhen und Tiefen durchlebte das Gründerteam dieses Tech-Start-ups von der Idee bis heute? * Wie hyper-personalisierte Daten unsere Entscheidungen künftig verändern werden? Ein herzliches Dankeschön schon voraus unserem Location Sponsor **[Starbucks](https://www.starbucks.ch/de)**. Das erste Getränk geht auf uns!
