Everything is a pitch. Everybody pitches.
Whether you’re selling an idea, landing a job, or securing funding, you’re pitching.
The problem? Most people don’t know how to do that!
They know telling a good story is key to getting and holding attention long enough to sell their idea, but they don’t know how to do that.
Most pitches fail because they lack a persuasive story
√ Data by itself is just a bunch of numbers. It does not tell your story. You do.
√ Facts presented in story form are more likely to be remembered than a bunch of isolated bullet points.
√ Good story changes our brain chemistry. It sustains our attention.
√ Good story provides the emotional resonance that drives our decision-making.
√ Technology distracts us every 47 seconds (Gloria Marks, 2022)
√ But give us a good story and we can lose a weekend on the couch to Netflix.
It’s not the best idea that wins. It’s the best idea that was pitched the best!

I Keep It Human
I’m human first. I combine experience, expertise, and creativity with what I love most: helping others be heard above the noise. Plus, I believe we can get the work done and have fun in the process!
