Dino Arouna achieved considerable success at the international Speaker Slam, which took place in Mastershausen on April 25, 2024. After New York, Vienna, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden and Munich, the international Speaker Slam now took place in Mastershausen. A new world record was set with 104 participants from 5 nations.
The Speaker Slam is a speaking competition. Just as people compete in rhyming or rapping at the popular poetry slams, speakers compete against each other with their personal topics at the speaker slam. The special challenge: The speaker only has four minutes to captivate and inspire his audience. Shortening a lecture like this and still saying everything that is important and then connecting with your audience is probably the pinnacle of professional speaking. The participants need nerves of steel anyway, because the microphone is switched off after exactly four minutes.
The event, launched by top speaker Hermann Scherer, impresses with a wide range of topics that are as colorful and varied as life itself. A professional jury (media expert Jörg Rositzke, ghostwriter Mirjam Saeger, scouting expert Stephanie Pierre, speaker Felicitas Binninger) selects a winner from among all participants.

Dino Arouna from Cologne also took part in this year’s Speaker Slam with the topic “The power of mental strength in professional and private life”. He was able to convince not only the audience with his personal story, but also the jury with his stage performance inspire.
The participants in the Speaker Slam are rewarded in two ways: on the one hand, through the award and the special distinction, and on the other hand, they subsequently benefit from a higher level of recognition and therefore more orders.
The choice of topic was up to the slammers themselves. They wrote their texts independently and had to decide whether to address general social issues or specific cases. The challenge of the evening was to meet the audience and the expert jury, which consisted of authors, speakers and entrepreneurs, exactly where they are, to convince them and get them excited about the topic – all in just four minutes.
Dino is an expert when it comes to mental strength and knows exactly what is important when life asks us to be brave.
He was born in Benin (a French colony in West Africa) where he grew up. After turning 18, he traveled to Germany (Cologne) in 2006 for a better perspective in life, but had to start from scratch linguistically and personally.
His professional career got off to a very bumpy start and through his diverse experiences and challenges, Dino has gained a deep insight into the importance of personal development.
He argues that life doesn’t always depend on having good cards. Sometimes you have to be able to make something out of a bad hand.
Dino is not only an expert in mental strength, he is also on stage in Germany and regularly speaks in front of hundreds of spectators about how his attitude can not only improve his performance, but also master crises confidently.
For all worried and perplexed parents, Dino has put together the three most important tips for the right attitude in life:
To leave the victim role and take personal responsibility
To distinguish whether a situation is favorable or unfavorable for achieving one’s goals
To see problems and difficulties as a sporting challenge and as an opportunity for personal growth
“The most important thing is how we respond to our challenges, because we cannot always avoid the storms in our lives, but we can control our reactions correctly,” he concludes.
