Get Your Pitch On!  The ultimate two-part workshop to get your pitch ready to go.

We offer workshops for small groups of people and benefit from a group environment. They are carefully designed to ensure they leave a legacy beyond a brief experience.

Pitching your ideas, your skills and your projects is arguably the most fundamental skill we all need to proceed in our world. Regardless of career stage. And a successful pitch begins way before walking into a room (or a Zoom meeting).  Here’s how you will do it.

 We’re going to help you to prepare your idea for a pitch – incorporating all of the possible formats.  Whether it’s a written pitch document, a video pitch or an in-person meeting.

 A Non-Disclosure Agreement will be signed as we will be discussing everyone’s ideas as part of the workshop.

Workshop 1 – Pitching basics (Two Hours)

  • What actually is a pitch?
  • What’s the point of a pitch?
  • How to read guidelines for a pitching opportunity.
  • When to pitch.
  • What makes a brilliant pitch?
  • Types of pitches – in person, written, video. How do they differ?
  • What is your idea – how to distil even the most complex story into a simple sentence.
  • How to pitch yourself – people buy you as much as the idea so how do you sell yourself

Homework

Using the skills learned in Workshop 1 create your pitch – with the support, as required, of your Media Mentors.

Workshop 2 – Pitch Practice (Two Hours)

  • Every participant will pitch their idea to the group and get feedback.
  • Workshopping ideas for improvement
  • Polish pitches.

Everyone will finish the workshop feeling absolutely confident in their ability to pitch their next project.
