SETsquared Workshop: Pitching with confidence, comfort and enthusiasm

SETsquared Workshop: Pitching with confidence, comfort and enthusiasm

This two-hour workshop is designed to complement the Elevator Pitch workshop on how to structure the content of your pitch. It will help build your understanding of how to harness your nerves, and deliver at your best.

Pitching is a key skill of a successful entrepreneur. With your pitch you can catch attention, engage customers, and – if you want to – raise funding.

Research shows that the strongest predictors of which entrepreneurs secure the most investment are not the quality of idea, or strongest track record (both of which are critical, of course), but rather those who pitched with the most confidence, comfort, and enthusiasm.

Workshop leader, Amy Armstrong will support you on your journey to build your confidence, comfort and enthusiasm, and share with you evidence-based strategies proven to help overcome key challenges which may be standing in your way.

Aim

To enhance your pitching competence, confidence and comfort.

Participants

People who are new to pitching, and/or those who want to reflect on and improve their delivery and management of presenting nerves.
