There’s a big difference between delivering a pitch and actually connecting with your target audience.
This interactive session with Alex Wright, Maddy Allen and Max “Hoppy” Hopkinson is designed to help you bring public speaking tools into your pitching process – so your ideas don’t just land, they resonate.
Alex, Maddy and Max are all speaker coaches, presenters, and board members of The Keynote Club, a community and course platform that helps people become better speakers.Â
“Public speaking is so critical to pitching,” says Alex, “and so it’s critical to the personal professional development journey of the people in agencies, too.”
In this high-energy, interactive workshop, Alex, Maddy and Max will take you through real exercises, not just advice. They will be sharing breathing drills, and confidence-boosting techniques you can start using right away to improve your pitching.
We’ll discuss:
- Why presenting and pitching should be treated the same. “Presenting is a muscle. So you need to keep training it.”
- The small techniques that make a big difference in how you’re perceived. “You’ve got to prepare yourself mentally for the moment of presenting – we have exercises that help you present yourself the way you want to.”
- Why you don’t need to be loud to be confident. “The goal is to be useful to people… not to sell at them.”
- How to speak with clarity, energy, and presence under pressure. “It might be making silly noises before you go in. It opens you up and can take the pressure off.”
This session will be hands-on and fun. Come ready to speak up and try new things, and walk away with immediately usable tools to raise your game at your next pitch.
