Versatile talents

In the coming months he plans to get three different speaker programs ready for the stage and keep them bookable.

These programs aim to inspire people and accompany them on their personal journey. “I only talk about topics that I have experienced myself,” emphasizes Meiners, showing his deep connection to the content he conveys.

The Speaker Slam in Wiesbaden was not an everyday competition. The atmosphere was electric and the diversity of participants was impressive. In addition to Meiners, the financial expert and mindset trainer Irina Alles also prevailed with her story. Her motto, “Life is a wish concert,” reminded the audience that striving for your dreams is possible, no matter what hurdles stand in the way.
