Speakers Excellence Slam - litterpicking and more

 🥵 Last Friday, I stepped out of my routine and tried something new. It felt like a risk, but it taught me a lot.

🥇 Last year, I won a prize for a presentation on why #cybersecurity and #sustainability matter for long term company success. One piece of feedback was to focus on one topic. Since I had already given a very successful talk on cybersecurity recently about how KI chatbots can be hacked, I chose sustainability this time, with a spotlight on litter picking.



🎤 I felt like repeating the presentation I held for the United Nations in September, as the reactions afterwards were incredibly uplifting. People came up to me and told me how inspired they felt. But only my voice was recorded.



🫢 During the slam, my presentation was filmed. But this time, it didn’t flow the same way. The clicker distracted me more than I expected. I usually speak with my hands free, and having something in my hand threw me off a little. I also sensed that a few people were disappointed because they had been expecting a cybersecurity-related topic.



👌 Still, it turned out very well, with a lot of positive feedback from the jury. And with suggestions for improvement, which was the reason for me to take part in this event. I’m super glad I could share why litter picking activities and inspiration. Even small actions can spark real change, and it felt good to give this topic the space it deserves.



PS: If you're looking for a professional speaker for your event on cybersecurity, KI hacking or sustainability, I look forward hearing from you!
