The Berlin Speaking Team

we are BERLIN SPEAKING

For many years, Berlin Speaking was just me - Pascal Heymann. Today, I'm still that same passionate trainer, but with an amazing support team. With projects growing in scale and more professional teams looking to boost their public speaking abilities, I have expanded the Berlin Speaking team with equally passionate trainers & coaches. Each successful in their fields of expertise, these independant team members support the Berlin Speaking effort to create impactful speakers and share knowledge easily!

How we work together in a seminar, who covers which side of it, and from what group size two or three of us travel: that is on the page presentation coaching for teams.

What’s your public speaking journey?

Until the age of 21, I avoided speaking in front of audiences at any cost. Just the thought of being observed by a group of strangers sent the adrenaline pumping through my veins, tightening my breath and robbing me of the ability to talk. And when I did manage, no coherent thought left my lips. It left me embarrassed, my audience disappointed and my ideas dead by the road.

I knew that if I ever wanted to leave an impact on the world, this had to change. And so I began my journey into the powerful world of public speaking. I joined a local public speaking club where I slowly learned how to give speeches, moderate events, and stand confidently on stage. What was once my kryptonite, soon turned into a hobby, then a passion, and now a career.

Today, I am an internationally distinguished speaker, event moderator, and speaking trainer. Working in the heart of Europe’s start-up landscape, I empower CEOs, academics and aspiring speakers to confidently communicate their ideas, generate interest for innovative products and present with a WOW-factor!

What drives you?

It’s my deeply held belief that anyone can transform into an effective and confident communicator. Having gone through this transformation myself, I know first-hand how empowering it can be to discover your voice. Everyone has a story to tell, knowledge to share, and ideas to carry into the world. You deserve your voice to be heard and your thoughts to be understood.

What was your favourite project?

Back when I was studying physics at university, I always dreamed of working at NASA one day. So a personal highlight of mine was to travel to ESA’s (European Space Agency) ESRIN Centre in Italy, where I spent 2 days preparing researchers from all across the globe to pitch their projects and secure funding. (If anyone from NASA is reading this, I’d love to give a seminar for you, too!)

What makes a good communicator?

The intent and passion to share knowledge. All rhetoric techniques and best-practices are of little use if you’re not dedicated to helping your audience grow. Whether that’s through new information, perspective, visions, epiphanies, or lessons learned from your personal experience. And confidence. If you want your audience to believe (in) you, they need to sense that you believe (in) yourself.

What’s your public speaking journey?

My journey has been powered by following my gut (passion & intuition) and saying “yes” a lot- even when it has led to some painful learning curves.

My first big stop: New York City where I studied and performed as a dancer professionally and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in the Arts. I crossed the Atlantic, and choreographed & toured 14 dance-theater productions, which were recognized with 4 consecutive Theaterzwang awards for outstanding artistic work in NRW (North Rhine Westphalia).

Next big jump was Berlin, where I began working as a speaker coach in 2012 and founded THE bEAR in 2015. THE bEAR is a non-profit organization promoting the Art & Craft of autobiographical storytelling to connect communities - one story at a time.

What drives you?

The need to use my talents, experience, and energy towards making my worlds better in some meaningful way.

What was your favourite project?

To be honest, my favourite project is usually the one I am involved with at the moment. So that would be supporting the 32 international speakers for the main stage at the Creative Bureaucracy Festival, which just took place in Berlin.

What makes a good communicator?

Having something worthwhile to say.

What are your main areas of expertise?

What’s your public speaking journey?

I stem from a conservative family where it was important what you achieved. Hence, I graduated from high school, I studied, I had a career. I was very successful, and everything seemed okay, since I was mostly able to ignore the feeling of not being ready for the things I did.

One day I took a shortcut, and accidentally discovered that my view of the world creates a world of its own. That one moment never let me go. My inner compass had begun to search for my true north. And yet: I kept doing things with much effort instead of with confidence. Only after this old habit had led me into the deep despair of a nervous breakdown, was I ready for real change.

I realized that there had always been a lack of self confidence on my side. What I´ve learned about gaining self-confidence since then is so profound, that I decided to support other people to also live the life they want to live with the joy that everyone deserves. The courageous choices of my clients inspire me on my path that connects me to ever new wonders of love, peace and success.

What drives you?

Enabling clients to live their favorite life with ease.

What was your favourite project?

I worked with an elderly gentleman and helped him change his beliefs on money and career. This change enabled him to pitch for funding in order to continue his potentially life-saving medical research.

What makes a good communicator?

Encouraging beliefs, suitable mental strategies, skills, fun, practice.
