Interview Sparring Berlin

Frankfurt Interview Club Get in the hot seat. Land the job. Job searching in Germany is tough. The process is long, feedback is rare, and Bewerbungsgespräche can feel isolating.

Frankfurt Interview Club is a peer-driven community where we practice together, give real feedback, and keep each other motivated through the job search grind. This group is for professionals targeting roles in finance, consulting, strategy, business analysis, and corporate management — especially in Frankfurt’s banking and corporate hub.

WordPress Meetup Berlin - Maßgeschneiderte Block Themes in unter 10min aufsetzen

Herzlich Willkommen zum WordPress Meetup Berlin! Auch im Jahr 2026 treffen wir uns weiterhin am letzten Mittwoch des Monats. Wir versuchen, abwechselnd Themen für Anwender\*innen und Developers behandeln. **Programm** 19:00 \| Einlass 19:15 \| Thema: Maßgeschneiderte Block Themes in unter 10 Minuten aufsetzen In seinem Vortrag zeigt dir Oliver Gehrmann, wie neue WordPress-Projekte mit einem eigenen Block Theme aufgesetzt und wiederkehrende Setup-Schritte per Bash-Script automatisiert werden. Anhand praxisnaher Beispiele zeigt er, wie ein eigenes Theme den Projektstart erleichtert – etwa durch eine mitscrollende Navigation, kleine eigene Gutenberg-Blöcke, individuelle Block Styles für Core-Blöcke und weitere Anpassungen, die im Alltag wiederkehrende Arbeitsschritte reduzieren. Am Ende hast du konkrete Ansatzpunkte, wie du dein eigenes Full Site Editing Theme erstellen, erweitern und an deine Arbeitsweise anpassen kannst. 20:15 \| "Flohmarkt" Jede\*r kann kurz ein Gesuch oder Angebot in wenigen Sätzen pitchen. Bitte achtet darauf, dass es nicht zu kommerziell wird. 20:30 \| Happiness Bar\, freies Networking & Gespräche\. Bei Fragen oder Problemen mit WordPress könnt ihr uns gerne ansprechen und wir helfen euch mit eurem Problem. Das nennen wir "Happiness Bar". **Teilnahme** Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Essen und Getränke können wir leider nicht bereitstellen. Es gibt einen Snack/Getränke-Automaten und einen Kaffee-Automaten in der Bibliothek. Ihr könnt euch auch gerne etwas mitbringen und im Meeting-Raum essen. In der Umgebung gibt es einige Bäckereien, Spätis und Imbisse. Wichtig ist nur, dass wir den Raum wieder sauber hinterlassen. Falls ihr euch angemeldet habt und es doch nicht schaffen solltet, meldet euch bitte ab, damit wir einen Überblick über die Teilnehmerzahl behalten. **Barrierefreiheit** Die Location ist barrierefrei für Rollstühle. Falls ihr Unterstützung bei der Teilnahme oder Anforderungen an die Barrierefreiheit habt, schreibt uns gerne eine Nachricht. **Code of Conduct** Als WordPress Meetup verpflichten wir uns den Code of Conduct (sprich: unsere "Verhaltensregeln") einzuhalten:[ https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/regeln/](https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/regeln/) **Weitere Details und Infos** WPMeetup-Berlin Website: [https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/](https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/) Facebook-Gruppe "WordPress Berlin Brandenburg": [https://www.facebook.com/groups/331013360390412/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/331013360390412/) Twitter Account @wp_berlin: [https://twitter.com/wp_berlin](https://twitter.com/wp_berlin) #WPBerlin **Location & Raumsponsor** Ein großer Dank geht an die Bezirksbibliothek Pablo Neruda, dass sie uns den Raum zur Verfügung stellen.

However, many of our attendees are able to understand English well enough to respond to your questions. Which means: if you understand but don't necessarily speak German, that should be perfectly fine.

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 souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem 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 über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für 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 über vorherige Anmeldung: kontakt@mut-und-rede.de https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

Business Communication: Speak Clearly and Confidently in Meetings

**This is a practical communication workshop in Berlin for international women in business working across corporate, consulting, startups, freelancing, entrepreneurship, or their own business, especially if they often have to make their point in rooms where confidence, clarity, and timing matter.** **You know what you want to say. But in the moment, you add too much context, soften the point, or wait too long to speak. Every time that happens, someone else gets the visibility, the credit, or the opportunity.** **That gap does not close by itself.** **The workshop helps you communicate with more clarity, confidence, and authority without sounding aggressive or over-rehearsed.** **This is a small group of max 20. You do not need perfect English.** #### **What you should expect** * Making your point clearly without over-explaining * Asking questions that sound confident, not apologetic * Disagreeing without backing down or burning the relationship * Giving a recommendation instead of hedging * Responding when someone interrupts, talks over you, or takes credit for what you said * Getting into the conversation when the room is moving fast and you cannot find your entry point #### **What you leave with** * A framework for clearer professional communication * Scripts for meetings, client calls, pitches, and stakeholder conversations * Responses for interruptions, dismissal, pushback, or being talked over * Practical language you can use immediately at work and in business * A follow-up email with the tools and scripts from the session **About the host** Sumita Kar is the founder of Take a Brava Leap (TABL), based in Berlin. She spent 13 years building her career across global teams, moving from associate level to Vice President across customer success, cross-cultural leadership, C-level client management, high-stakes escalations, negotiations, and commercial execution. In 2023 she was recognized as one of the Top 10 Best Indian Women Leaders from Germany by Women's Entrepreneur Magazine. She has navigated these rooms as an international woman where she was often the only one. She built this session so you don't have to figure it out the way she did.
