Talk Your Way to a Term Sheet
Talk Your Way to a Term Sheet - A Masterclass in Communication for Founders
"Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know."
— Jim Rohn
What’s this all about?
Confidence, charisma & authenticity in your interpersonal communication aren’t just personality traits. They’re learnable skills. In the age of AI & automation, your ability to speak clearly, connect with others and pitch your own ideas matters more than ever.
This masterclass, led by award-winning educator, public speaker & podcaster Dan Rosenberg (Co-Founder & CEO of LinkyThinks / Speakable), will teach you how to own the room, speak so others want to listen and to communicate like a human being.
Whether you're pitching investors, leading a team or simply want to stop hating the sound of your own voice, this is for you.
You’ll learn how to:
Speak with confidence, even when you don’t feel it
Structure your message so people actually remember it
Think more critically about your own ideas
Sound more like yourself (and less like ChatGPT)
Handle tricky questions and stay in control of a room
Expect stories, real examples and plenty of practical tools you can use immediately.
Who’s it for?
This masterclass is for founders, creators, professionals and people who want to be more compelling communicators, especially in high-stakes moments like:
Investor meetings
Interviews or panels
Team leadership and culture building
Teaching or coaching others
Social media, podcast or media appearances
You don’t need to be a performer. You don’t need perfect grammar. You just need to be the best version of you.
Who is Dan Rosenberg?
Dan Rosenberg is an educator, speaker and communication mentor, and the Co-Founder of LinkyThinks, an award-winning children’s education company. His work is rooted in a deep belief in the importance of a lifetime love of learning.
Since 2019, Dan and his team have helped countless children express themselves with greater clarity, confidence and authenticity. Through this work, he witnessed not only the transformative impact of communication tools on young people, but also the growing need among adults, especially those from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds, for the same kind of support.
This led to the creation of Speakable, a framework designed to deliver communication upskilling, CPD-accredited training and mentoring for individuals, teams and organisations. Speakable addresses a rising national demand for real-world speaking and interpersonal skills in the workplace, with a particular focus on making those skills accessible, learnable and life-changing.
Dan’s mission is to level the playing field by helping people from all walks of life to articulate their ideas, advocate for themselves and be heard. Whether it’s preparing for interviews, navigating workplace dynamics or pitching a business, Dan believes communication shouldn’t be a ‘soft skill’ reserved for the naturally confident, but a foundational skill that anyone can learn.
