Join us for a 1-hour overview of Perfect Pitch, a practical and straightforward method for translating your complex ideas into clear, concise and compelling pitches that help you get the resources you need to realize your vision.

The training session is followed by 30 minutes of live pitch coaching of volunteers. Bring your one-minute elevator pitch, whether you think it’s great or needs work, and we’ll make it better together.

Deliverables

In this workshop, you will learn:

  • 10 Questions: Simple questions that help you to extract the salient points from each aspect of your vision and ensure that you never forget a critical point.
  • 4 Types of Pitches: Identify the essential tools that will help every pitch you do – whether for a grant, an investment or a job – to be more successful.
  • 3 Essential Parts: The essential elements of every pitch, no matter whom you are pitching to.
  • 2 Critical Guidelines: Leverage these guardrails to keep your audience focused on your vision.

Preparation

Please bring any pitching materials you like, from a one-minute verbal pitch to a website to a full deck, if you would like to receive a constructive critique (time allowing).

You are encouraged to go through the videos in this course to familiarize yourself with the concepts, but you are not required to do so. You may find them useful to review after the workshop.
