Who’s in charge here? Your pitch and status game

Tell me something I do not know
Food, we all need it… That was initially the first (opening) sentence of one startup pitch. The sentence I immediately told them to abandon. Not because it is true. Not because it was irrelevant – on the contrary, their idea was focused on food indeed (more precisely on food logistics…

Introverts Do It Better
Another public speaking and pitching ideas workshop is about to start. One week before I had given the small but very disciplined and creative group an assignment. Prepare a short presentation on any given subject. I also gave them some random universal topics to choose from, in case someone felt…

Storytelling works as Uri Hasson and other scientists managed to prove. It is the most effective tool to engage and to persuade. I’m going to tell you it’s worth packing your pitch with a story that will also say a lot about you. And your business-oriented-mind. It’s a pitch as…

One simple tool to help you pitch anything under 15 seconds
If you can’t tell me what you do in 15 seconds, I’m not buying, I’m not investing, and I’m not interested. When you are a freelance professional, like me, you’ll find it sometimes difficult to explain to people what is it that you do. and what value proposition you are…
