About this Event

OVERVIEW:

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to structure a crisp pitch, use your voice and body language to land your message, and handle tough Q&A. We will practice simple, repeatable techniques that build presence, clarity, and audience connection. You will leave with skills to stay calm under pressure in investor meetings and sales calls, and a practical approach to presenting your best self.
