ONLINE workshops

We’ve taken everything from our popular in-person workshop and moved it online for people working from home. It is a series of (3) lively Zoom meetings led by Michael Quinn, and includes 2020 audience insights, practical skills and exercises, plus useful tips for controlling your pitch to decision-makers from home.

Pitch rehearsal online (PRO)*

A PRO session is a confidential Zoom rehearsal of your online pitch. It is a structured process that gives your team the confidence and control to win an upcoming pitch.  The agenda for PRO sessions is tailored to meet the unique needs of your team. For example:

• Discussion of your pitch opportunity, brief and roles

• Pitch rehearsal & “client” questions (we play mock-client and/or ask questions)    

• Direction/questions for the pitch team and deck, including:

  • Your strategy for listening, empathy, and demonstrating expertise to solve the brief

  • Good areas for resilience (chemistry)

  • Elevator Pitch + prepared response to “Why Should We Work With You?”

  • Direction for your online backgrounds, lighting, sound, wardrobe, etc.

*We recommend your team take our pitch skills workshop prior to a PRO session.

The product of Minor Nobles is a change in behavior.  

Whether you have a few years of experience or been pitching for a lifetime, the skills we offer improve your ability to control and win pitches to today’s decision-makers.

Our process begins with audience insights; what do top executives want in a pitch performance?  The answer is essential for your success, so we research it constantly.

Our workshops are laser-focused on helping innovators and busy corporate teams navigate these insights and the changing norms of business to win.

Because pitching is a team performance, we employ theater exercises, each one brief and purpose-built, to imprint skills. There is no generalized “improv” or acting.

Our mission is two-fold: change behavior to give teams more control in competitive pitches, and facilitate the confidence and respect that comes with winning.
