The skills we develop for pitch teams are important for winning. In pitch-team rehearsals, workshops and one-to-one coaching, we focus on:

1. Building Chemistry

Purpose: Quickly build and present a cohesive team by improving your listening skills and interpersonal etiquette.

2. Establishing Your Presence

Purpose: Controlling physical variables: posture, diction, volume, laughter, sitting or standing, deck-construction, props, ice-breakers, feedback, etc.

3. Feeling the Audience

Purpose: Understanding and using basic rhetorical devices to help navigate audience expectations and respond effectively to impromptu opportunities for engagement.

4. Presentation Skills for Designers

Purpose: The magical journey of making the sausage requires a special kind of storytelling.

5. Selling vs Educating

Purpose: How to anticipate, inform, navigate, delight, sell and close an audience of decision-makers.

6. The 1st 5-Minutes

Purpose: How you stage your presentation can be the difference between your team winning or losing.

7. Pitch Personas

Purpose: The value of characters for a successful presentation, easily adjust to criticism, and respond to curveballs.

8. Presenting on-line

Purpose: How to control the outcome when your team cannot be in the room with the decision-maker.
