Presented by Catherine Moonan

Catherine’s ‘Perfect Pitch’ workshop helps start-ups and entrepreneurs to become more confident at telling their unique story in a simple and engaging manner. Catherine is the author of ‘The Pitch Coach’, published by Liberties Press in January 2016

The objective of the workshop is to enable each individual to prepare and deliver a clear and compelling 60-Second Pitch.

• Catherine will focus on three main areas – Audience, Content and Delivery.
• Catherine will help participants to research their audience and to tailor their pitch to that particular audience.
• She will then help them to structure the content of their pitch like a story, which they can remember easily.
• Finally, Catherine will highlight the importance of the delivery of the pitch – voice, pause, posture, gesture, eye contact and movement. After all, it’s not necessarily what you say that matters, it’s how you say it!
• Each participant will be able to practice their 60-second pitch around the table, and the lucky few will have the opportunity to deliver their 60-second pitch in front of the whole group!
