Home to some of Europe’s hottest startups, Barcelona is an emerging force in the world of technology. Barcelona Internet Startups is a group on Meet up whose aim is to be a hub for internet start-ups in Barcelona.

They  organize a FREE seminar in English on Tuesday, March 6th at 7 p.m. about “Develop Your Communication Skills: Using Emotional Intensity in Persuasion“.

This is an advanced session that will focus on the use of emotion in spoken communication.

Emotion is necessary to move from good idea to a commitment to act (both in one’s own life, and when communicating with others).   Three specific structures that generate emotion in the listener will be analyzed.

“Investors don’t invest in businesses, they invest in stories about businesses” Venture Hack

The ability to effectively influence clients, investors, employees and peers is a critical aspect of being an effective entrepreneur.

Move People to Action

Powerful persuasion involves several vital elements. These include the capacity to communicate content in the right form and in an appropriate emotional context. It also requires knowing how to carry this out on an interpersonal level (in presentations, for example), as well as before large audiences.

An Introduction to Effective Speaking

This program introduces you to the basics of effective public speaking by addressing the following capabilities:

• Establishing personal and professional credibility

• Using emotional and rational intelligence to persuade others

• Rhetorical tools for interpersonal communications, presentations and speeches

• The art of storytelling to communicate your message

• Techniques of influence

• Non-verbal aspects of communication: authority, energy and audience awareness; managing nerves

• Rational-based speeches (e.g., business presentations)

Home to some of Europe’s hottest startups, Barcelona is an emerging force in the world of technology. Barcelona Internet Startups is a group on Meet up whose aim is to be a hub for innovation and internet start-ups in Barcelona.  Barcelona Internet Startups was founded from nothing just over a year ago. It is now one of the fastest growing startup communities in Spain. This group is for: Entrepreneurs, Techies, Startups, Investors, Mentors and Advisors.  

They host a FREE Conference in English  about “Mobile – The Explosive Growth” with Laurent Lathieyre and Jeff Coe” on Wednesday, February 29th at 07 p.m at ESEC, Carrer de Trafalgar, 10, Barcelona to connect people related to startup world, get them involved and help them take action.

Let’s hear from them about this great event:

“On the occasion of the Mobile World Congress, Laurent Lathieyre , Co-founder & CEO of Capptain and Jeff Coe one of Europe’s top 100 most influential technology experts  will be in Barcelona to share their experiences in the mobile sector with our group.

Laurent is a successful internet entrepreneur based in France. He was co-founder of Wcube, one of the first web agencies in France in 1995, which has acquired in 1999 by Framfab, a leading Swedish Group.

Following Wcube’s acquisition, Laurent has had several other ventures, his latest being Capptain in 2008. Laurent will share his entrepreneur’s journey and his experience in the field of software, mobile, customer acquisition and running a lean start up.

Jeff Coe will present : Mobile and the PC Convergence - A phenomenon discussed at every conference form 2001 to 2011 but now mentioned less and less.

Why? Is it because it’s already happened? Have mobile phones (wireless) and the PC (internet) truly converged and it’s no longer relevant to talk about?

If so, what effect has this had on the industry as a whole and the verticals playing into these spaces?

Jeff Coe, both an entrepreneur and investor, will give his opinion on convergence and, using his own experiences, will paint a picture of how he sees the current environment and what new opportunities are emerging from this.

A bit about Jeff

Jeff Coe holds the role as investor and board member of several European technology companies and has been a mentor for Tech Stars Europe and Seed Camp as well as being named one of Europe’s top 100 most influential technology experts (The Telegraph).

Since 1999, Jeff Coe has been deeply involved in all facets of the internet and mobile media world.  A serial entrepreneur by deeds and not words, Jeff has been instrumental in the growth and global expansion of 5+ companies. Most recently,  Jeff was the Managing Director of Linden Ventures, an early stage accelerator based in Berlin that invests in and develops some of Europe’s best and brightest.

Jeff’s past experiences include taking Mnet Corp (Mercury Mobility,) via the role of Director of Sales and Marketing, from a startup with only a handful of employees to a multinational, 100+ employee company spanning 3 contents that completed a successful IPO on the Australian Stock Exchange. Jeff then returned to Europe where he invested and took on an executive role as Director International with video platform sevenload GmbH (Sold to Burda Publishing).”
