About

We are taking the InYourShoes podcast out of the recording booth and into the room with you.

Ever feel like life in Berlin is moving a little too fast? Work, family, ambition, relationships, trying to keep up… sometimes you just want to sit down with people who get it and have a real conversation. We talk about success and careers all the time. But we don’t always talk about the things happening underneath it all. The doubts. The changes. Starting again. Figuring out who you are outside of your job.

That’s the kind of conversation we’re creating with In Your Shoes.

02

Experience

Think of it as an afternoon to slow down and have some real conversations. We’re bringing together 40 people from different walks of life for honest stories, practical lessons, good conversation and genuine connection. No corporate conference. No motivational speeches. Just people, stories and space to think about what it means to start with yourself.

All of this in the beautiful, sunlit Wintergarten at bUm Berlin.
