Beyond the ‘Pitch’
Simple Steps on How to Engage your Audience

Presenting your ideas is an essential business skill that you can easily learn.

Like most of us, you probably dread speaking in front of people – even if it’s just a group of friends at a monthly First Friday event with the Amarte Network Network!

Presenting our ideas to a group is now an unavoidable part of our working lives, in written and spoken form, e.g. pitching, your website, meetings, PR-material, trade-fair, etc.

It’s a necessary business skill you can greatly improve with a few simple tools and some regular practice!

In this hands-on workshop we’ll take a practical approach to understanding the basic ingredients of a successful ‘pitch’ – and how to implement them – (hint: we’ll practise as we go!)

• What are the 'golden rules' for getting it right?
• What are the absolute 'Don’ts'?
• What makes a pitch memorable (a positive memory!)?
• How to avoid the 'forgettable' pitch?
