Entrepreneurship

The goal of this workshop is to demystify the process of selling and storytelling and give hands-on practice/feedback on pitching.

Outline

The art of persuading people to buy - a premise, a proposition, a product, a mission, or anything else - is much less complex than most people imagine. In fact, we do it every day outside of work in every conversation we have. The key is to focus on what you want to accomplish while keeping in mind how people listen and engage. Then it’s easy to build a persuasive story and keep the conversation going.

Requirements

The desire to better understand how to persuade - and be the best you you can be as a storyteller.
