Meeting magic: Convincing contributions that stick in the mind.

The important meeting begins and you are fully prepared. But as soon as all eyes are on you, nervousness takes over. What just sounded powerful loses its impact. The audience listens, but the wow effect? It doesn't happen. Your mind races, your body reacts: clammy hands, shaky voice, a sinking feeling in your stomach. In the end, you leave the meeting disappointed and think: "That should have gone better." Our expert Natali D'Abundo knows the problem from her coaching practice, she has already helped many people to find their personal performance power and will give you valuable tips and tricks in this workshop on how you too can improve your performance and experience personal aha moments.

Pictures say more than 1000 words: visualize data like a pro

"A picture is worth a thousand words" - the ancient Chinese already knew this. And even today, nothing has changed. We humans are visual beings and love to see beautiful things. This applies to all types of design, but especially to information design. Why? Because we take in an incredible 83 percent of all information through our eyes. But how do we manage to visualize complex data in such a way that everyone can understand it at a glance? Would you like to transform your data into impressive, understandable visualizations? Then this workshop is just right for you - our expert Robert Buk will show you how.
