Get your ticket (early discount) “Pitch with Extreme Confidence: The Pitch Hacking Method” with Tom Marcoux — via Igniters: Stanford Entrepreneurs & Silicon Valley Founders … This workshop gives you both the new skills and opportunities to practice them. Extreme Confidence does NOT merely come from knowledge of your text or focus area. People who pitch are often afraid because they do not know how to handle their mind going blank or an investor’s toughest question. They’re afraid of being embarrassed. Have you ever given a pitch and merely hoped that you would get through it without messing up? Just imagine having the Extreme Confidence to know that you can handle something—anything—going wrong.
It’s about learning what seizes attention and how to handle tough questions that build a real connection with the investors. It may seem that you’re talking to a group. But you’re talking to individual investors. They watch for how your body language and vocal tonality show that you’re on edge. Confidence is contagious. You express confidence, and the investors are confident in you—and you gain your funding. It’s all about creating trust.https://www.meetup.com/Igniter/events/237843482/
Tom Marcoux addresses Stanford University PhD’s and PhD-candidates with his topic “Soar With Confidence”
“You don’t understand. My life is … I mean, I’m bombarded with stress,” my new client Howard said. After an extended discussion, my questions helped him get to the point when he said, “I have a difficult job. I have difficult responsibilities.” These were important statements of truth.
On some level, Howard wanted his wife to shoulder more of the responsibilities of their lives together. But the truth was, it was HIS job. It was his responsibilities. At a certain point in the conversation, Howard told me, “Cheryl’s number one priority is her sanity and her health.” This was also true.
As an Executive Coach, my agenda is my client’s happiness and success. Sometimes, the direct path to that is to face tough truths of the client’s current life situation.
Howard needed to make his priority his own sanity and his own health. The first thing was for him to let go of resentments and to let go of the hope that “rescue was coming.” No. His wife was not going to rescue him.
“What do you really want?” I asked Howard. “I want to get good enough at this job so that I’m not worrying every day,” he said. “So, what are you doing about it?” I asked. “I work long hours,” he said. “Do you have all the training you need?” I asked.
This question opened a golden line of discussion. Ultimately, Howard decided to get more training.
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” – ascribed to Abraham Lincoln
To get training is a great idea. It’s like you’re the axe, and to do well you need to be sharp.
Here Is Your Freedom in a Difficult Time If you’re waiting for someone else to change, you’re a prisoner. When you uncover what action YOU can take, then you become free. Actually, you become free as you take that action.
When you’re in action, you’re focused, and fear is a quiet voice in the background.
Now it’s your turn. What truth do you need to face? How can you get training or work on acquiring the habits to make you more effective?
