PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION & PITCH WORKSHOP

Due to requests from several founders preparing pitches in March/April, we’ve moved the workshop to a more accessible date of March 12th 2026.

Most founders and professionals refine their pitch deck, strategy, and product for months— but only spend a few minutes preparing the human part of the pitch.

That’s the part investors react to.
That’s the part customers trust.
That’s the part audiences remember.

This workshop gives you the performance tools used by working actors, directors, and professional speakers to help you communicate with clarity, confidence, and magnetic presence—on stage and on camera.

You’ll learn how to command the room from your first sentence, ground your body and voice, and present yourself—not your nerves—as the expert.

Financials, metrics, or complex ideas become compelling and memorable through narrative techniques used in film, theater, and broadcast storytelling.

Founders must now record pitch videos, marketing clips, and LinkedIn posts.
Most look stiff, flat, or disconnected. You’ll learn to deliver naturally, authentically, and confidently—without sacrificing professionalism.

Align your message, voice, energy, and emotion to create a persuasive impact that moves audiences toward belief and action.

You’ll learn tools from casting, scene work, interpretation, improvisation, and presence training—adapted specifically for professional communication.

This is not a lecture. This is not generic public speaking advice.

This is an immersive, hands-on coaching experience led by someone who has:

• 17 years as a top-rated speaker for Cunard Insights
• Directed actors, performers, and public figures
• Worked as a filmmaker and casting associate (House of Cards, HBO’s Game Change)
• Trained founders, executives, educators, and corporate teams
• Former Entrepreneur in Residence at the Maryland Innovation Center
• You will get personalized coaching in real time.
• You will practice. You will improve.
• And you will leave with a stronger presentation and pitch foundation.
