Pitch Your Story

The art of piquing curiosity: Use clear messages to captivate your audience and generate excitement.

What it covers

In brief: captivate your audiences and use clear messages to generate excitement.

Life’s a pitch! Every day we all want to be convincing, we all want to be understood. And yet, most presentations are boring, information comes across as bland, and misunderstandings hinder our efficiency.

Storytelling is the ancient art of using a story to awaken interest as well as captivate and transport your audience. It applies whether you’re pitching your idea, presenting in a team meeting or projecting from the big stage—and it works online, too.

This course is for you, if you want to make your ideas sound irresistible, if you want to get specific decisions and useful feedback in meetings, or if you just never want to give a boring presentation again.

Course structure

Be your own critic

In the preparatory round you’ll already deliver your first pitch. You’ll be able to watch yourself on a video replay and receive feedback from the group.

After you’ve learned the basic structure for how to build a pitch, you can prepare your topic for the next round. Again there will be a video with feedback, but this time more specific. You’ll learn additional tools and have time to sharpen your pitch one more time and present it to the other participants. The half-day will close with a reflection period and a few tips and tricks for your toolbox.
