DETAILS

A successful pitch is contingent on your ability to both craft a presentation and present it visually. Writers pitch concepts and stories. Producers pitch projects and strategies. Executives pitch their teams and CEOs. CEOs pitch their boards, shareholders, and the public. The key is understanding yourself and how you are perceived; passionate connection to what you're pitching; and creating resonance. This workshop deconstructs the traditional structure of the pitch deck and provides tools on how to discover your unique style.
