Pitch training: an impactful way to communicate

Knowing how to maneuver the art of public speaking is more than a skill. It is a necessity to reach your audience. By mastering the techniques of oral expression, the message transmitted to your stakeholders (team, clients, investors, etc.) is delivered in an effective manner. Moreover, it becomes possible to capture attention in a simple and fast way.

On the other hand, the time spent delivering a message during a speech can be relatively short. However, these key few minutes can be decisive for the future of a company. The objective of the pitch training is to develop the ability to seize the opportunity of a project at the right moment, in record time.

Schoolab’s pitch training focuses on agile and practical methods that go deeper. Participants are guided to master the art of the pitch. During the pitch training, each participant develops his or her public speaking skills and acquires the skills to become more confident and effective.

The goal is to approach each communication method in a seamless way. The expert trainers (Directors, Chief Executive Officer,…) accompany each participant with benevolence in impactful educational experiences:

Educational tools for speaking.

Storytelling training: mastering your speech to communicate your project

In principle, storytelling is a communication method that has a narrative structure similar to a story or tale. The power of words orchestrated with the art of storytelling is a marketing trick that is proving its worth in helping companies achieve their objectives. The popularity of storytelling among companies is growing and intensifying. Participating in a storytelling training course means taking action to capture the attention of your audience in a powerful and subtle way.

Elevator Pitch training: present your project, but in a more effective way

Comparable to the time it takes to get on and off an elevator, the elevator pitch concentrates on effective methods to put the right words in the right place at the right time. The number of companies that rely on elevator pitch training is increasing.

For a start-up, knowing how to master the opportunity of an interaction with an investor is a strategic issue. The elevator pitch course is a powerful lever that allows you to develop your skills and master the techniques of the minute presentation for a project. Very often, an investor has a limited amount of time to give to his or her contact. In this context, it is important to know how to present a speech in the minimum time required and to present the project clearly. Each piece of information transmitted during the presentation must be striking.

From here, Schoolab will train each participant in the communication methods that make a difference. Do you want to put the mastery of pitching at the service of your organization? Schoolab will help you to make your future opportunities a reality.

: Whether it’s a sales pitch, a general presentation or an internal project, knowing how to present your project is now a necessity for all professions. Don’t panic, it can be learned. There are many techniques to get the right messages across to your audience. The first one is obvious but particularly complex. To convince someone, you have to tell a story.
: An elevator pitch or “30 second pitch” is a short and very impactful pitch. As its name suggests, the elevator pitch should be used during an unexpected and/or sudden meeting with a potential investor or client, in an elevator for example.

This exercise is more complex than it seems. It is about capturing the attention of your audience very quickly and then explaining your project in a clear way in order to persuade them. The elevator pitch is a very good tool for business leaders wondering “how to present my company?”
: History is full of examples of companies or internal projects that have found success from a very simple, uncluttered pitch that highlights the few most important messages. Airbnb’s first pitch deck is a striking example. Imagine the power of an elevator pitch as simple as “Book rooms with locals, rather than hotels”. Simple and effective. This is the art of the pitch in a nutshell.
