Use Your Story to Pitch Yourself
Whether you're at a networking event, a pitch competition or meeting an investor for the first time, you have exactly 10 seconds to get their attention and give them a reason to care about who you are and what you're building.
But most people miss this opportunity. They either ramble, don't give enough of the right information, or fail to engage their listeners altogether.
And it's not because they lack a great idea. It's because they lack a compelling story that piques interest, gets right to the point, and helps their ideal audience immediately understand why their idea matters and why anyone should care.
In this 1-hour session, you'll learn:
1. How to establish credibility immediately.
2. The one storytelling formula that will help you communicate anything you do in the most compelling way (and no, it's not the hero's journey).
3. A framework to help your audience understand who you are, why what you're building matters and why they should care.
You'll walk away with:
1. Three different versions of your story to use at networking events, pitch competitions and investor meetings.
2. A framework for getting others to not just listen but truly invest in what you're doing.
By the end of this session you'll have what you need to make the next person you meet ask, "Interesting! Can you tell me more about that?"
