What really goes into a powerful pitch? Ready to hear the insider's take on the key ingredients that create the winning formula?
Join Career Coach/Talent Agent Consultant/WGF Workshop Facilitator Jim Arnoff, who will lay out the step-by-step essentials for pitching with impact and results. We'll cover making the strongest connection, painting the big picture, articulating the inspiration, bringing the cast of characters alive, telling the feature/pilot story with clarity and, for a series, envisioning future episodes/story arc with precision. In this workshop you'll learn the coaching skills to pitch the essentials with confidence, conviction and your own style of charisma.
Workshop starts at 4:00pm Pacific time.
RSVP for free or with a suggestion donation of $10. After signing up, you’ll receive information on how to access the Zoom meeting.
