Jasmin Wölke facilitates workshops and offsites in Berlin, in English, in German or switching between both. She makes sure the day ends with decisions that still hold the morning after.
Two working cultures, one facilitator
Berlin works at two speeds. On one side, Europe's largest startup scene plus tech, e-commerce and media: teams that want to decide fast and treat workshops as a normal way of working. On the other side, federal associations and organisations close to politics: rooms where many interests share one table and consensus takes time. A facilitator has to handle both. Jasmin adjusts pace and depth to the room without letting go of the goal. In a scale-up that means sharpening options and calling for a decision. In an association it means making positions visible, recording common ground and documenting dissent cleanly. Many Berlin teams work in English anyway. For Jasmin that is not a special request, it is her daily language.
The setting: offsite instead of meeting room
Many Berlin workshops deliberately leave the office. The city offers rooms of every kind, from lofts to venues like STATION Berlin that otherwise host entire conferences. The location sends a signal, but it does not replace structure. Jasmin plans the day backwards from the result: what must be decided by five o'clock, what is information only, where the discussion needs buffer. When picking a date, check the city's calendar first, because trade fair weeks like IFA in September or ITB in March fill the hotels. From Stuttgart, Jasmin reaches Berlin in about one hour ten by plane and arrives the evening before when the workshop starts early.
Workshop craft from corporate life
At Bosch, Jasmin was a Director responsible for workshop concepts across markets in Europe and the Middle East, leading a team of 100 people. Many of those sessions ran in English, with participants from several countries and time zones. That experience comes from her corporate career, not from Berlin client work. But it shows what she brings: she knows distributed teams, mixed cultures and the craft of turning many perspectives into one working basis.
From briefing to a list of results
Before the day, Jasmin clarifies the goal, the group and the lines of conflict with you. From that she builds a running order with work blocks, breakout groups and breaks. On the day itself she leads the work and locks in interim results until a solid decision list stands. More about the city is on the Berlin city page, the format is explained on the workshop facilitation page, and preparation on the briefing checklist.
