Techstars Startup Week and Artup Week Fort Collins 2020

We all know story is important. But how do you choose the right one for your investor pitch, sales pitch, or keynote?

How do you build the story itself in the script for your pitch or talk? How do you know if it's too much of a lead in, or too much explanation before getting to the a-ha, or not enough at the end for the insight to click with your audience? Don't wing it, bring it. Bring your forethought to this fun and creative exercise so your story really sings. So it's memorable. So your audience can see themselves in it. So they want to act.

This session will give you the specific steps to follow concerning evaluating all your stories, choosing the right one, building it (both writing it and representing it via slides), and then your actual delivery of that story (use of pauses, word choice, non-verbals, etc).
