Investor Pitch Presentation Skills.
Feedback & Custom Training.
Speaking techniques • Lighting setup • Sound quality • Body language • Visual presence

Investors turn away 98% of entrepreneurs. Largely due to poor delivery.

Maybe it’s the way they speak, or bad lighting, poor sound quality, stiff body language, or inadequate visuals. Whatever it is, it signals a lack of attention to detail.

So, um… could this be happening to you?

Well, yeah, probably. Because unless you’re a trained speaker (meaning no more “ums” for starters!), you undermine your chance of hearing “yes!”

 

 

So after all your effort,
why present an unpolished pitch???

 

 


I help you come across totally on-point and investment-ready,

by adjusting how you present.

 

Fact: How you present your pitch determines your success 5X more than what you present.

So I break down every element of your speech, visual appearance, body language, and even your A/V setup. And I uncover your quirky habits and patterns that hold you back.

Then I give you hyper-specific adjustments and techniques so you stand out. It’s a tailored approach other coaches don’t offer (or even see).

I’m not another run-of-the-mill coach with vague, one-size-fits-all advice like “sound engaging” or “slow down.” I stand apart as an effective coach by telling you exactly how to do these things, with unmatched attention to detail. For example, I can show you:
    • Speaking techniques – 2 techniques that mask nerves, 3 that boost credibility, 2 that clarify messages, 2 that slow you down, 1 that increases audience engagement, 3 that increase influence,…
    • Lighting setup (for online interviews) – 3 adjustments that greatly enhance quality
    • Sound quality (for online interviews) – 2 absolutely critical must-do’s for clear audio
    • Body language – 5 adjustments that convey confidence, 2 that increase likeability,…
    • Visual presence – 4 adjustments for your camera position and backgrounds,…

From there, I help you tailor your presentation skills for various venues, including on-camera, on-stage, on-mic, on Zoom, and in person, and for a range of applications, including business podcasts, speaker panels, customer presentations, product demos, investor pitches, seminars, networking events, and more.

By the end, you project greater confidence, you make investors more receptive to your message, and you come across as totally on-point and investment-ready.

 

 

 

I’ve led hundreds of entrepreneurs & founders to come across totally on their A-game, by giving them personalized speaking adjustments & targeted techniques.

Need quick, detailed feedback? We hop on Zoom, we have a mock-investor pitch session, and I analyze the way you speak, assess your lighting setup and sound quality (for online pitches), and break down your body language and visual appearance. During that time, I will call out concerns and areas where enhancements will be impactful. Be ready with a pen!

So we show you how to:

  • Increase your confidence when pitching! We teach you 2 speaking techniques that mask nerves.
  • Look best on videoconference pitches (like Zoom). We guide you on which backgrounds work best, what type of microphone is ideal for your voice and acoustics, how to frame your body, how much body language works best and what movements work against you.
  • Gauge the optimal pacing for your pitch, so you never rush your audience, nor drag them.
  • Soften accents with 3 speaking techniques.
  • Maintain consistent energy.
  • Recover from mistakes (hint: so your audience never knows).
  • Enhance the graphics and text in your presentation. We even help you use better mouse pointers that make it easier for investors to follow along. 95% of the time, we catch typos, grammar issues, and more. 

Because overall, we want you to:

  • Come across more credibly and competently.
