Whether you’re in a Zoom room, panel discussion, or in-person meeting, all creative professionals need that classic Elevator Pitch. In this lively workshop, Robin helps artists conquer their fear of speaking in public. With exercises, tips, and one-on-one feedback, she shows participants how to build this essential skill.

In the first hour of the workshop, she offers a how-to presentation with the tools to craft the pitch. In the second hour, after Q&A, each participant will take their turn workshopping their pitch. Robin will also explain how to apply your pitch tactics to longer interviews with the press, as well as podcasts and other public conversations.

This workshop has been created specifically for visual artists, but creative professionals of all disciplines will find the material and lessons useful.
 

Zoom sessions will be recorded and emailed to participants.
