A 2-Hour Interactive Workshop

As a founder or entrepreneur pitching in English, especially across cultures, ineffective delivery, unclear messaging, or a lack of confidence can cost you credibility and deals. The good news: these are learnable skills.

This highly experiential workshop is designed for French and international professionals who pitch to investors, present to clients, or speak at conferences in English. You will leave with practical tools and techniques you can apply immediately.

🗓️ Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2026
🕓 Time: 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
📍 Location: Coming Soon!
🎟️ Registration: Coming Soon!

What You Will Work On

🎯 Confident Communication: Develop internal and external strategies to project confidence when it matters most. Learn to align your mindset, words, body language, and voice behind your message to be more persuasive and earn buy-in.

🎯 Clear and Succinct Messaging: Understand the key differences between French and American presentation styles. Practice a simple, concise messaging framework adapted to a business culture where attention spans are short and time is money.

🎯 Pitch Practice with Feedback: Apply what you learn with optional practice rounds and structured feedback. Like any skill, great communication is built through rehearsal.

Before the Workshop: Registered participants will complete a short 5-minute pre-assessment to explore how mindset may be affecting their performance, so you arrive ready to get the most out of the session.
