Move Your Body
Even though originally we all have full capacity of body movements, in our daily lives, we only us limited range of motion. The CIRCL Mobility™ program is designed to help you move your body the way it’s intended to. A full wellness experience based on the science of functional movement with focus on flexibility, breath work and mobility exercises. Wether you are a pure beginner or fitness enthusiast, Circl Mobility helps you release stress, reduce stiffness and tension. Stimulate your body’s nervous system as a speaker you benefit from a higher body awareness and renewing your ability to move more complete. This „move your body and free your mind“ session has similarities with concepts like Yoga and Pilates. Biggest differences are that movement patterns are being repeated and synced to stimulating music, we stay in a constant flow and our actions don’t have spiritual meanings. No previous experience needed, no certain skills required, just be open minded to get your body loose. Come in comfortable clothes. Bring a bottle of water and a towel (to place on the mat, we’re not going to sweat 🙂 This session is best wearing socks or exercising bare foot.

Mithun A. Sridharan
Session summary:
Ecutives are extremely busy people, who expect succinct communication. With its origins in the Management Consulting industry, the Pyramid Principle is a hypothesis-driven methodology for structured thinking and crisp communication. Top-down communications is a counter-intuitive approach that starts with the answer or solutions before detailing the supporting arguments. The Pyramid Principle approach is well suited for high-stakes contexts where the speakers need to engage in concise communication, drive home their key messages, and garner support from busy professionals, such as executives, key decision makers or wider stakeholders within a short time window.
Learning outcomes:
- Challenges in executive communications
- Our mental models and thinking in patterns
- Introduction to top-down communications
- Origins of the Pyramid Principle
- Structuring thinking and communications in Pyramids
- Ordering ideas using horizontal and vertical logic
- Storytelling using the SCQA approach
- Bottom-line Upfront (BLUF) framework
- Communication using the Rule of Three

Zusammenfassung des Workshops:
Die klügste Lösung, um langweilige Sitzungen und schläfrige Reden zu vermeiden, ist, sie mit Humor zu bereichern!

Drei Techniken werden in praktische Elemente zerlegt, so dass du deine eigenen Beispiele kreieren kannst.
Durchführung der Sitzung:

- Stift und Papier oder einen Laptop mitbringen, um Notizen zu machen und Übungen durchzuführen.

Kyle P Bullus
Session summary:
Do your ideas inspire others? What actions do you take when you are inspired? This session will give you an ideal opportunity to discuss your ideas, see how others react and move towards inspired action. Will you go ahead with your ‘big idea’? Or will you discover something new? What will you learn about yourself in the process? Workshop leader, Kyle P Bullus, has been inspired and crashed to earth; has been inspired and flown high. He likes “doing” because it’s MOTION. “Trying” is about thinking … and fear. Fears often stop us doing. He shows us how to embrace our fears and achieve more. Rather than anything overly deep and heavy on a Sunday morning, this will involve participants in storytelling, experimenting and, hopefully, fewer tears than laughter. And decisions to take you forward in life.
Learning outcomes:
- How does inspiration become your next ‘big idea’? And how will you turn that into inspired action?
- Is it an idea for a speech or a presentation? Or some other personal challenge? How easy is that for you to write up or plan?
- This workshop will give you simple ideas to make your speech writing easier and to have more fun with the process. We will then dive deeper and apply similar techniques elsewhere in life – to help us realise and achieve ‘big ideas’ that can stretch us. To dream big. And reach high. Are you ready to let go, even to embrace your fears, and enjoy adventure?

Zusammenfassung des Workshops:
Stellt euch vor, ihr habt kein Skript, müsst aber zwei Stunden lang auf der Bühne performen. Habt ihr Angst? Willkommen in der Welt des professionellen Improvisationstheaters, wo Schauspieler aus dem Nichts ganze Welten erschaffen, allein mit ihrer Selbstsicherheit, Bühnenpräsenz und den unsichtbaren Fäden, die das Publikum fesseln.

Deshalb wird Toastmaster Oliver Grytzmann, der über 4.700 Stunden Bühnenerfahrung hat, mit dir den Geheimnissen des Improtheaters nachgehen:
- Wie man selbstbewusst bleibt, wenn viel auf dem Spiel steht
- Was jeder Schauspieler über fesselndes Storytelling weiß, es aber nicht immer verrät
- Wie man das Publikum „gewinnt“ und „hält“
- Und wie man die mächtigste Fähigkeit von allen nutzt: Humor
Lernergebnisse:
- Learning 1:
Eine fünfstufige Anleitung, wie man Geschichten findet und erzählt, die das Publikum hören möchte. - Learning 2:
Drei Wege, Geschichten humorvoll zu erzählen – und eine Methode, den Humor sofort zu ruinieren. - Learning 3:

Activities
You want to spend some quality time in the City of Duisburg while attending the District 95 Conference?
We have some great suggestions for you:
Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord
The City of Duisburg has a huge industrial heritage which can best be explored at Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Former industrial buildings have been remodelled to host corporate and cultural events, Europe’s largest artificial diving centre has been created in an old gasometer. Former ore storage bunkers have been transformed into an alpine climbing garden, a high ropes course has been set up in a casthouse and a disused blast furnace has been equipped with a viewing tower.
Inner Harbour
A major part of the Duisburg’s industrial heritage is the Inner Harbour. Once known as the Ruhr region’s breadbasket due to the large quantities of grain that were handled here, the harbor feeds visitors today with a variety of bistros, cafés and restaurants.
Rheinorange and Tiger and Turtle
The City of Duisburg is also famous for its sculptures like Rheinorange or the walkable sculpture “Tiger and Turtle”.
Marina Market
If you like to explore and experience a very special farmers market right at the water front, you are lucky. The Marina Market opens every second Sunday of a month between April and October only. So take the chance and pay a visit on Sunday, May 12th 2024.
You will find further information and inspiration on what to do while in Duisburg here.
How to get about in Duisburg
To tour the Duisburg Sights we recommend to use the public transportation network. You can easily check your ride and purchase your ticket here.
