    After the preposition 'aus' you need the dative case, so 'meiner' is required.

Cultural Tip

In German, using personal experience (eigene Erfahrung) adds credibility, especially in academic or business settings. However, be careful not to over‑emphasise personal anecdotes when a more formal, data‑driven approach is expected. Also, the separable verb 'vorbereiten' is common in professional contexts, so mastering its split position helps you sound fluent.
