When your work is your passion playground … doing what you love … and it feels as natural as rolling off a log.
I recently had the honour of speaking on the topic of “How to Pitch like a Pro by Dissolving Self-Doubt” to some amazing entrepreneurs at the “Accent on Women’s Leadership Program”, a mentorship programme for entrepreneurs founded by two leading-edge organisations – Accenture Mexico and the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
This was at the first plenary session with entrepreneurs from the Digital Transformation Women’s Leadership Network, focusing on harnessing and nurturing Mexico’s emerging women entrepreneurs and leaders of the future.
How do you tap into power, freedom and have presence when presenting yourself to potential investors?
In this talk, I focused especially on the key, often unspoken challenges when pitching to investors. Among the things I explored with them were:
- essentials of an entrepreneur’s presentation deck
- three fatal mistakes that entrepreneurs make when pitching
- the one thing that absolutely makes the difference between success and failure when pitching
- how to unleash your self-expression for an investor pitch
- my own tried and tested practices of transforming self-doubt
I love getting related to my audience.
I love firing them up with fresh perspectives and inspiration to take action that makes the difference.
“Practice sharing your spark … your excitement about what you’re bringing into the world.”
