Do you need people to back your ideas? Whether it’s convincing your boss, acquiring support from colleagues or cash from investors, sometimes it all comes down to a single compelling proposition or pitch. Even when there is a lot at stake, the secret to a successful pitch is 10% presentation and 90% preparation.

 

In this Masterclass, you will learn how to engage your audience in a way that sets you up to succeed. You will explore ways to give your pitch a simple yet effective structure that will hold your audience’s attention and potentially influence their decision making. You will develop a presentation style that is personalised and authentic and learn a few simple techniques to overcome anxieties related to public speaking.

 

The Masterclass is offered in two formats:

• Taster Session
• Masterclass

 

The Taster Session and the Masterclass are designed and delivered independently.

 

The Taster Session is designed to introduce you to the topic of developing and pitching ideas. It provides a unique opportunity to sample the material, ask questions and meet those involved in developing and delivering the Masterclass.

 

The Masterclass provides a comprehensive understanding of pitching design and delivery. It explores pitch design for different audience types. It introduces tools and techniques of visual communication and gives participants the opportunity to reflect on their authentic voice and personal challenges when it comes to pitching.

 

Completion of the Taster Session is not a pre-requisite for Masterclass participation.
