Let’s Talk: Pitches

This workshop is offered both as an in-person One Day workshop and on Zoom (split into two sessions.)

You’ve done your homework, polished your PowerPoint, practiced with your team members—but your pitch falls flat.

Or maybe you find yourself with an unexpected opportunity to make a short pitch—seated next to someone at a dinner; networking at a cocktail party; or even the classic ride in an elevator. But in the moment you freeze.

We get it. Pitching is not easy.

But what if there is a way to increase your success rate?

This interactive workshop gives participants the skills and techniques they need to create a dynamic pitch. Participants are on their feet from the very beginning, engaging in exercises that guide them to experience pitches from both sides. They will practice shifting their focus outward onto their clients and customers instead of inward on themselves and their materials.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Learn to quickly create an authentic and empathetic connection with their audience that builds trust
Unearth and clarify their goals for this pitch
Create a narrative that walks the audience into a story of success
Develop a flow for their pitch with the Exact Communication planning tool
Use their passion to engage an audience

Workshop Structure

Our workshops are very interactive, and we value as much individual time with our participants as possible, so we keep our instructor-to-participant ratio small, particularly with virtual workshops. But we understand there are many things to consider when planning a workshop and we will work with groups to customize workshop sizes, hours, and number of instructors to meet your needs.

“This workshop woke me up to ways I was not effectively communicating or sometimes even listening, shook me out of some old ruts, and gave me new ways of thinking and new tools I have successfully put into practice both professionally and personally!"
