Series 1
Pitch Training for Publishers and Investors
While it’s true that it is a presentation, pitching is a specialized combination of skills, intensely organized to occur within a prescribed time frame. All within one deck or slide show or delivery.
Participants from the Emerging cohort will have a positive, constructive practical workshop experience designed to introduce a comfort level with these essential elements of pitching for success:
- Telling a story
- Creating simplicity out of complexity
- Proving validity and credibility
- Instilling faith in something yet to be invented
- Making numbers and data interesting
The session is designed to uncover the distinct styles of each person, so that the participant walks away with a foundation that is authentic and scalable for future use.
