Learn how to pitch like a pro at MiNetwork's next London event

September 4, 2013 | 3 min read

MiNetwork, the organisation that supports growing agency businesses, has teamed up with theatre actress Tessa Morton to present a pitching and presentation skills workshop with a difference later this month in London.

Tessa will bring her unique insights to MiNetwork's next London event

During the 90-minute evening session, Morton will share some genuine tips on how theatre performers control their nerves, command their audience's attentions and manipulate their emotions to ensure that they get their message across clearly and effectively.

This session will not be about how to make more attention grabbing Powerpoint slides. In fact, Morton actively discourages speakers from relying on crutches like fancy slides and videos and offers some techniques to move away from Powerpoint and get your audience to focus fully on you and what you are saying, however daunting that may be.

Tessa is professional actress and teacher. She started her consultancy TMP in 1994 to support pitch teams in advertising agencies manage their anxiety and build rapport with their clients. 15 years on and her business now works in all industry sectors and her coaching techniques have helped MDs, sales teams, project mangers, and presidents, present with increased confidence and creativity.

Richard Draycott, managing director of MiNetwork said: “Speaking in public can be a horrible experience for many people, but in the marketing industry it is absolutely critical to an agency’s success that all of their staff can speak effectively and with impact during pitches and presentations. Having seen Tessa in action I can guarantee that she offers some great tips and insights into how people who are not natural performers can give themselves the best chance of really creating a lasting impression.

The event takes place on Wednesday 25th September at 6pm (drinks and sandwiches will be provided) at the offices of Ve Interactive, which are close to Farringdon Station.

Tickets to this event are FREE for MiNetwork members and just £45+VAT for non-members.
