Want your pitch to soar higher than all the others with innovative ideas and land the investors’ startup funds

The Pitching Edge

You’ll finish this course with powerful tools other presenters don’t have, making you stand out to be always considered for funding or partnerships.

You’ll have confidence you can only dream of today.

You’ll learn to soar with your audience, leading them on a journey they won’t forget.

You might be able to influence one person with a year of conversation if you’re lucky,
but wouldn’t you like to influence hundreds with one good speech?

Because so few others can do this, what kind of reverberations might that have for you and for your business?

If you lead a not-for-profit, you’ll be asked to return to speak again and again to almost every audience, and you’ll love it.

You’ll have respect from the leaders of organizations who book and support you, and they’ll get people excited to hear you.  

Could you turn this multiplier into anything beneficial for you, your organization, or what you believe in?

In just one workshop I was able to learn a lot about public speaking.  
The pause!
Pauses have the same value as words, learning to manage them is the true art of public speaking."
