Pitch like a pro

After a brief introduction, you will work step by step to create an engaging pitch suited to your target audience. You will practise and hone your pitch, and get tips from our trainer. Video recordings will be made of your pitch, so you can review it at your leisure after the course. This may be stressful and even confrontational at times, but it is most certainly incredibly useful.

Themes that may be covered include 

• Do's and don'ts of a professional pitch 
• Smart aligning with your purpose, your message, and your audience 
• Saying more with fewer words 
• Inspire, motivate, and persuade 
• Attract, connect, and hold attention 
• Playing with your voice, pauses, and words 
• Body language, posture, and appearance

After completing this course, you will be able to give a powerful pitch with more confidence, which will help you come across as more professional.

For professionals who want to present themselves, their product, or their idea in a short pitch with more impact, fun, and flair.

During an intake interview, we will determine what is desirable and feasible and we will discuss the approach and design of our offer, from a coaching programme to a short workshop or multi-day course. The course can take place in a small group with your team or department, but also one-on-one. Courses take place at our premises or in-company. In some cases, some or all of the course can also take place online. After the intake interview, you will receive an offer with a tailor-made programme.

The costs depend on the design and duration of the course. You will always receive a tailor-made quotation. An internal rate applies to Wageningen University employees.
