Karin Bauer-Leppin

In an evening dress, with a business look or in jeans - for nearly ten years I host events, panel discussions, (press)conferences, meetings and workshops. Participants and audience appreciate my peace, my eloquence and my refreshing way, which always has provoked a hearty laugh even in the most serious topics.
I can moderate in German or in English. Also in German AND English, if your group of participants or the audience is mixed.
Moderation experiences I have in the facilitation of group processes and workshops, as well as at public events such as panel discussions and conferences. I feel with flipchart and pin board as safe as with a microphone on a stage.
