In this session we’ll develop a verbal pitch to engage someone with your work. Then, when that moment arrives where you have an opportunity, you will be able to do yourself justice and really connect with potential partners and have a constructive conversation.

The course consists of two sessions of 90 minutes. By the end you are on your feet, getting personalized feedback.

Session 1 – How pitching works.

• Identifying the values and priorities of your audience
• Mapping your research to your audience’s priorities

Session 2 – Presentation and conquering nerves

• Moving like Darth Vader
• Opening up your voice
• Warm ups for combating nerves
