Rise & Shine: Unlock Your Voice and Build Impact

As part of the AsiaBerlin Masterclass Series, we are especially proud to launch our first-ever Masterclass event, co-hosted with Startup Hub Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT), welcoming Lesley Li as the host of this special Women’s Month edition.

This inaugural session marks the beginning of a new learning format within the AsiaBerlin ecosystem. Designed to go beyond panels and networking, and instead create a focused, skills-driven, and transformative experience in collaboration with Startup Hub BHT.

An Asian leadership expert working across cultures and innovation ecosystems, Lesley Li brings deep experience in cross-border entrepreneurship, confidence building, and inclusive leadership development. Known for her dynamic presence and practical approach, she combines strategy with embodiment - helping professionals move from self-doubt to impactful leadership.

This 3-hour interactive masterclass is designed to equip participants with:

• Cross-cultural leadership insights between Asia and Berlin
• A live founder conversation (featuring leadership lessons from Maxim Romain - CEO & Co-founder of Dott)
• Tools for confident public speaking and executive presence
• Practical networking strategies rooted in authenticity
• Experiential exercises that activate confidence and self-ownership

Open to women and men, founders, professionals, students, and ecosystem leaders navigating international environments.

Empowerment is not performance. It is alignment plus action.

Join us and experience leadership that bridges Asia and Berlin, from inner fire to outer impact.
