Companies need to inspire people, sell products, find partners, and raise funding. In this session we will practice these different situations.HOW: Interactive and dynamic session. We will learn by doing, individually and in groups. We will have four rounds of presentations:
- Present Yourself as a Human
- Present Yourself as a Professional
- Present Your Company to Customers
- Present Your Company to Investors
Each round we will have individual time to prepare a pitch, 2 minutes to write down your ideas.After you wrote down your pitch, you will present in 60 seconds to your team. Each member of the team will present, no exceptions. They will be in separate rooms, e.g. Team 1 in one room (no other teams).After all members of the team have presented, the teams will come back to the general Zoom meeting and one person will be selected by the coach to present in front of everyone. This is done randomly.We will do this four times.We will learn by doing. It will be fun and challenging in the same time. Most importantly you will learn how to present in different situations.
