In this session we’ll develop a pitch to engage someone with your work.
Then, when that magic moment arrives where you have an opportunity, you will be able to do yourself justice and really connect with potential partners and have a constructive conversation.
The course consists of a full day – four sessions of 90 minutes. They begin with conceptual discussions and get more practical through the day – by Module 4 you are on your feet doing multiple pitches and getting detailed, personalized feedback.
