From Boring to Brilliant: Comunicación que Conecta
ENGLISH (SPANISH BELOW)
Welcome to this Colombia Tech Week workshop where stage performance meets the global startup ecosystem.
Presenting to international investors requires more than a great pitch deck. It requires compelling storytelling, strong presence, and the ability to navigate cross-cultural communication—especially when pitching in English.
Beatriz López and Chris Roe will share the tools used by world-class communicators to help you capture and hold the attention of investors.
What You'll Learn
Storytelling & Performance
Use vocal and physical communication techniques to command attention and make your vision unforgettable.
Translation vs. Interpretation
Why literal translation can weaken your message—and how to adapt your communication to connect with a global audience.
The Q&A Trap
Understand how cultural differences create misunderstandings and learn how to navigate them with confidence during investor questions and conversations.
Your "English Version"
Overcome imposter syndrome and develop the vocabulary, confidence, and communication skills needed to project authority—regardless of your current English level.
Live Pitch & Expert Panel
This won't just be a workshop you sit through.
A select group of startups will pitch live and receive real-time coaching on communication, stage presence, and cross-cultural messaging.
✨ Plus: You'll receive feedback from a panel of experts and investors on what actually works when presenting to international audiences.
