Business Communication: Speak Clearly and Confidently in Meetings
Tue, Jul 7, 4:00 PM**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.

There are no requirements or expectations of any kind. Speaking is encouraged but not compulsory. All issues are legitimate and deserve attention.
