Pitching is an everyday task in the life of an entrepreneur. You pitch in front of investors*, customers* and employees*. The essence of a pitch is to convey an idea with the goal that the receiver of the pitch understands the message very clearly and quickly. Our pitch training covers the following aspects: (a) Pitching according to communication theory: what are the scientific principles and behavioral effects of a personal pitch. b) Different types of pitches: What are the different types of pitches (one sentence, elevator pitch, 5 min pitch) and how to deal with different stakeholders (investor's pitch, sales pitch). c) What you need to build your pitch: We will go through your pitch step by step. d) Train your stage presence: We will do some basic warm-up techniques to control feelings and emotions just before a big presentation and use them profitably.

Our personal identity is made up of many puzzle pieces from age, gender, skin color to worldview and specific life experiences. It influences our decisions when starting and building a business from product design, business model to team selection. A better understanding of our own identity lets us avoid mistakes and blank spots, and better leverage our personal strengths and assumptions. This often allows us to better understand, explain and sell our decisions, company and product. In this workshop, we use an adapted diversity wheel for founders* to work out what personal identity is and why it plays an important role in founding. Using our own startup Equalista, we illustrate how identity can influence practical business decisions. Through practical exercises, participants will learn to explore and reflect on their own startup identity. What participants* can expect in the workshop: ● What is personal identity and the diversity wheel ? ● Why does personal identity matter in founding? ● What dimensions of identity are significant for founders? What is my founder identity? Many practical examples and exercises

Attention: Event will be held in German! Women are still underrepresented in leadership bodies. This is despite the fact that the benefits of gender-balanced leadership have been proven. Voluntary agreements and self-commitment have not made much difference so far. The legal requirements work, but still for too few companies. At the same time, women earn 18% less than men, that is 4.81 € less gross than men per hour. The gender gap is also evident in private life: Women invest their money significantly less. Our guests are Monika Schulz-Strelow, founding president of FidAR, and Karolina Decker, managing director of finmarie GmbH. FidAR (Frauen in die Aufsichtsräte - Women on Supervisory Boards) has been working for more than 15 years to increase the number of women at the top levels of the economy. Monika Schulz-Strelow will talk about the political and economic background as well as the work of FidAR in general. Karolina Decker will then show the reasons why there is still a financial imbalance between women and men and what each individual can do about it. Finally, there will be a panel discussion with questions from the audience. Women are still underrepresented in management bodies.
