Master Your Professional Pitch
No matter what kind of work you do, you often need to persuade people to do or believe something – say yes to your request, choose your solution to a problem, feel inspired by your idea. Sometimes it’s a formal pitch or the first thing you say to someone you just met. Often it’s a conversation with a colleague or your boss. And messing it up feels awful.
The good news: anyone can learn to speak persuasively. It’s a skill that boosts your confidence, expands your network, drives results and opens up opportunities 🤩
In this workshop, led by Kirin Kalia of Grow Through Story, we’ll start with some key principles of human psychology and public speaking, then cover the components of any pitch. You’ll then craft a compelling elevator pitch for yourself or your business and refine it with support from the group.
You’ll leave prepared to maximize your desired outcome at your next big meeting, networking event or serendipitous moment.
Takeaways:
Find out what element you need to bring to any interaction to be perceived as influential – and why it matters.
Learn what questions to answer before you craft any pitch, whether it’s one you write and practice in advance or figure out in real-time when the situation demands it.
Understand why doing or saying certain things, regardless of your audience, work against you.
Create a short pitch you can immediately start using in your work life and learn how to keep refining it.
