PITCH ME PERFECT!

ZOOM ONLINE WORKSHIP

Whether you are writing, starting up a business, trying to win contracts, chances are you will be doing an awful lot of pitching!

So, how good is your pitch? Do you walk into a session with a smile and come out with an offer to take things further, or do you go in petrified and leave dissatisfied?

THE GOOD NEWS!

The skills required for pitching and presenting your ideas can be learned easily. Better still, you can learn to tailor your delivery to the needs and sensibilities of the audience, the organisational or market climate you’re pitching in, and your own personality.

THE SESSIONS

An intensive, insightful and interactive masterclass, Pitch Me Perfect is also lots of fun. Come and learn how to identify the hook of your project and how to make it exciting to others. Learn how to prepare well and how to deliver a perfect pitch in different circumstances. Learn how to deal with nerves, how to show authenticity, create a connection with your audience. Find out what is more powerful than PowerPoint.

The workshop version of Pitch Me Perfect also offers practice time. Whether a participant brings a ready project, or they want to improvise on the day, everyone gets to pitch and receive immediate feedback from the facilitator.
