PREPARATION
So that we can maximise the impact of the workshop, there is some prep to do beforehand. You will need to allocate a good hour to do this properly. Please don’t shortcut it. Send Part 1 to Sarah by Wednesday 25 September. Bring your laptops with you to the training.
Part 1
Prepare a 3-min presentation, selling a creative concept, (1-3 slides, maximum) that you have already delivered or will need to deliver soon. Send it to Sarah, so we can upload it ahead of the training.
We will be looking out for:
-
the ability to talk freely around the content, drawing conclusions and sharing insights about what this recommendation will deliver
-
a sense that you are having a persuasive conversation, rather than reading from a script or list of bullet points
-
a convincing, engaging, natural delivery style
Part 2
Prepare a 2-min introduction to yourself and Live Union, for a new client of your choice. Before you begin, get clear on their specific job title and their company. Consider any experience, projects and results that might be relevant to them and ensure your introduction is tailored to their needs, interests and motivators. No slides for this one.

Since the training, I’ve had the opportunity to put the principles we discussed into practice on two pitches… and we’ve won both of them! On both occasions, feedback from the client was that we presented a clear and compelling programme underpinned by a solid strategic focus.
