Description
The Power of the Pitch: Storytelling for Innovators
Stories shape governments, build businesses, and create movements. And many of the skilled storytellers behind these stories were no different than the people around you today. They simply learned, practiced, failed, and repeated the cycle until they mastered the skill.
One of the stories critical to entrepreneurship is the pitch. Be it an investment pitch, sales pitch, hiring pitch, or something else. Regardless, it is story, and in this workshop you'll learn some of the components of the pitch (the "what") and some of the art of delivering it (the "how").
"The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda of an entire generation that is to come." - Steve Jobs
