You are pitching your great idea…you take a deep breath, and… you stutter, you falter, you ramble off message . Your body language contradicts your words. You get anxious, sweaty and inarticulate. You feel your audience slipping away. HELP!
Pitching is one of the most important skills in your working life. But it is also one of the least understood. Most people aren’t natural-born “pitchers”. It’s an acquired skill, like driving a car. This is where Paul Boross, The Pitch Doctor comes in. With a mix of psychological insight, presentation skills and commercial instinct, find out how you can put your message across in a way that does you - and your idea, credit. Whatever your role in our industry, pitching is a skill that’s more important now than ever before.
