ABSTRACT
Join us for this fast moving and highly interactive workshop that will help you get the most out of any opportunity to communicate.
Whether you’re pitching to co-founders, investors, licensees, or employees, your communication is essential to your success.
Pitch effectively and your audience is compelled to take action. Miss the mark and and your audience not only doesn’t take action, but they also might become anti-sponsors of your idea and maybe even of you.
Overcome your fear and communicate in a way that that will help you connect with anyone. Create impact, clarity, and confidence. Learn how to get it right every time!
Workshop Outline:
- Getting started
- The dance
- What’s your dead seagull?
- Audience centered
- Making the “ASK”
- Putting it all together
- Handling questions like a pro
