Villacher inspires the international speaker Slam in Wiesbaden!

Villach, Österreich - June 5, 2025 will be remembered in Villach as a special day. Mario Oberstrass, a passionate speaker from the city, cleared up at the 7th International Speaker Slam in Wiesbaden. With 120 participants from 16 nations, the event was a real challenge, and Oberstrass made it to the final, where he demonstrated his skills. The competition is one of the hardest speech competitions in Europe, and the stage was prominently occupied with media and communication experts, such as Jörg Rositzke and Mirjam Saeger.

Oberstrass ’rousing lecture was entitled" Don't think what you think - think about what you believe ". In his four minutes in the arena, he illuminated the power of beliefs and their profound influence on thinking, action and success. "Many people unconsciously believe in limiting beliefs," he explains and thus captivates the audience.

new possibilities for Oberstrass

Its impressive performance not only left a lasting impression on the jury, but also brought numerous bookings for appearances in 2026 in cities such as New York and Germany. On top of that, his first book will soon be published, which deepens his theses. Here Oberstrass combines his specialist knowledge with experience-oriented stories and living examples, which makes him special as a keynote speaker. The lectures are designed to inspire people and open up new perspectives - an important element, as was observed in the speeches of other competitors.

Overall, the Speaker Slam was a great success. The event, organized by Hermann Scherer and the expert portal, was sold out and presented other inspiring speakers in addition to Oberstrass. For example, the Cologne -based Alexander Erdwein put a strong focus on personal development and identity with his speech about the "onion principle" and self -reflection. His appearance was the highlight of the event, which set records in the number of participants.

The way to success

"Inspiration, willingness to change and new approaches are the keys to long -term success," says a general credo that shapes the lectures. Whether in companies or in your own life, the topics of leadership, communication and personal development are omnipresent and require innovative solutions. The commitment of speakers like Oberstrass motivates to grow beyond themselves and to take new paths in their professional life and in private life.

Oberstrass ’participation in the international speaker Slam underlines the importance of inspiring lectures that both entertain and inspire people. In a world that is increasingly shaped by changes, such voices are indispensable to open up new horizons. The next steps in his career are promising and we can be excited to see where his trip will lead us.
