Harness Your Speaking Anxiety
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
1-2:30 p.m.
A fast, fun, and surprisingly freeing workshop that shows you how to turn nervous energy into your superpower. Instead of trying to “get rid of” anxiety, you’ll learn how to channel it into clarity, confidence, and presence—on camera, on stage, and in high-stakes conversations. You’ll leave with simple, practical techniques you can use immediately to calm your body, steady your voice, and connect more naturally with your audience. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to do in the first 15 seconds—when nerves usually hijack your brain—and why anxiety isn’t the enemy. It’s fuel.
Top Mistakes People Make When Presenting to Investors or Customers
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
1-2:30 p.m.
A candid, eye-opening session on why smart founders with great companies still lose investor or customer interest in the first few minutes. This workshop breaks down the most common (and costly) presentation mistakes—and shows how to fix them fast. You’ll learn how investors and customers actually listen, decide, and disengage, and walk away with clear, practical adjustments you can apply immediately to your story, delivery, and structure. The goal: sound deliberate, grounded, and impossible to ignore.
Especially important for Pre-seed to growth-stage founders and startup leaders with real traction who want to eliminate credibility-killing mistakes and lead investor conversations with more clarity, confidence, and conviction.
Cost: $10 per workshop or $15 for both
