Pitch Perfect
In this short and snappy coaching program, we craft your winning pitch. Go from rambling to rock-solid in just a few sessions and prepare like a pro for the moments that really matter.
Your moment of truth…
Landing that dream client. Getting that dream job. Getting that dream cash injection for your business so it can fly. These are the moments that really matter. They require you to be on your best form. You need to have your own back. You need a compelling, clear-as-a-bell message. And you need an EQ of 150.
You can leave that up to luck… or you can work with me.
A great pitch moves the needle
A decent pitch conveys your message in a clear and succinct way. A great pitch does all that, AND gets people emotionally hooked and genuinely committed to you. In our sessions we craft a pitch that scores top marks on three crucial points.
CLARITY
You have one big problem: the curse of knowledge. You went through a whole process to get to where you are. A pitch is not a summary of that learning curve you went through: it is a focused, storytelling-infused narrative about why you and your idea rock.
CHARACTER
People do business with people they like and trust. It’s up to you to show your true colours and to speak your mind. Let yourself be known by your audience – share your values, background and quirks. Let them connect to you on an emotional level.
CONNECTION
A great pitch is as much about you and your ask as it is about your stakeholders. Put them on stage right there with you: show that you understand their world and show the impact you’ll have on it. I’ll teach you how to do that without sounding cheesy or manipulative.
Imagine what could happen…
… if you nailed that crucial pitch presentation? What if you got that job, convinced your stakeholders, secured that funding? And what if you could achieve all this without weeks of stress, days lost on thinking in circles, and sleepless nights second-guessing your storyline?
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Craft a compelling pitch that gets heads nodding
- Get crystal clear on your message
- Communicate with energy and conviction
- Truly understand your stakeholders…
- … and forge an emotional connection
- Handle challenges with emotional intelligence
- Stand out with your ideas
- Feel calm and confident: your best self
Here’s how it all breaks down
In this series of three experiential, fun-filled coaching sessions, we create a winning pitch and get you prepped for your game-changing moment like Serena Williams for a Grand Slam.
- We plan a 30 minute intake call where we set the goals and the tone for our sessions. We plan our sessions, online or in person. I then prepare a bespoke program for our sessions and send over a first, thought-provoking exercise.
- We buckle up and get to work in our 1-to-1 sessions: each 3 hours long, they’re designed to be a bootcamp for your brain and a deep stretch for your heart. You will get homework. It won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it.
- Using my Perspectives method, in our sessions I walk you through 6 steps that give you the structure, substance and self-confidence for your upcoming moment of truth. Together, we craft your pitch.
- I offer support in between sessions via voice-message & text, where I can help you get unstuck pronto, if you’ve momentarily lost the plot. You can rant or rejoice in the privacy of our whatsapp chat.
- You receive a bespoke “Get your gameface on” pep talk before you face the music to dance. Afterwards, we have a debrief call for reflection, lessons learned, and next steps for you to keep the momentum going.
”Like no one else, Roisin is able to listen between the words, and ask just the right (and sometimes painful) question. In the ups and downs of a start-up, she was the perfect partner-in-crime, helping me to define my target audience and sharpen my message.“

You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.
What makes Pitch Perfect different?
In our sessions, you’ll experience a combination of communication strategy, mindset coaching and people skills training that will help you prepare on three crucial levels: your message, your stakeholder relationships and your mindset. It’s that hat trick of bespoke support that helps you rise to challenges like these. BONUS: with my voice-message support in between sessions you’ll have me as your personal coach in your back-pocket for support during impromptu brainwaves or breakdowns.
How soon can we start?
Soon – you probably have a deadline, so we work with it. But I can’t work miracles. So don’t call me three days before your deadline… three weeks would be the minimum amount of time we need to plan and work through our sessions and get you properly prepared.
What kind of methods do you use?
In our sessions, we use my Perspectives method, that I created based on my 12+ years experience as a communication coach. This will give you the structure, substance and self-trust you need to shine, and help you see complicated situations more clearly. In my sessions I combine my own insights with proven coaching techniques such as voice dialogue, narrative therapy, mindfulness, theatre exercises, neuroscience based thought-experiments and creative brainstorm techniques.
What guarantees can you give me?
Like the Rolling Stones sang, “you can’t always get what you want.” I can’t guarantee you that you always get that dream outcome. I am not the Wizard of Oz. But I can stand for the quality of my coaching and my ability to bring out the absolute best in people. If after our first session you feel that we’re not a match or you won’t get the kind of support from me that you feel you need, then we cancel the rest of our sessions and I don’t send you an invoice. So you won’t lose money if you take a chance on us.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the nature of your question and the magnitude of your challenge. The minimum amount of sessions for Pitch Perfect is three, but you may need more if you’re dealing with a substantial problem. Give me a call and I’ll make a bespoke proposal for you.
When are we not a good fit?
If you’re looking for someone who…
– will help you crunch the numbers on your business proposal,
– will teach you manipulative communication ‘hacks’ without putting any skin in the game yourself,
– will write a speech or script, or create your powerpoint presentation for you,
… then we are not a match. I’m not a numbers coach, nor a graphic designer, and I dislike manipulative communication strategies with a vengeance.
But if you’re looking for someone who…
– will get you to the core of what you really want to say and help you convey it in an impactful and authentic message,
– will boost your emotional intelligence and guide you into your excellence so that you can show up in full force,
– will elevate your people skills to expert level so that you connect to crucial stakeholders when it really matters,
… then I’m your gal. Can’t wait to meet you.

In our intake call I’ll be upfront about whether I can help you with your challenge, and we can both see if we are a good match. If after our first session you don’t want to carry on, you will get your money back and we cancel the rest of the sessions. If you don’t feel helped and closer to your goal through our work together, then I’m not comfortable charging you for it.
