Soft Skills based onĀ  Audience Research and Insights forĀ People Who Pitch and Present Ideas

These courses are for people who want more confidence and better results from their pitches and presentations.Ā  We all know there is no feedback loop ā€“ we never really know why we lose, or why good ideas at work get ignored.Ā If we knew, we could improveĀ - and thatĀ is the point of these courses:Ā 9 soft skills, based onĀ data and research, for you to apply to your own unique style and work situation.
