EP10 Pitching 101: Communicating Your Message with Ease with Jack Coborn Ellis

September 29, 2021

In this episode of the Persevere Podcast, Patty interviews Jack Coborn Ellis to discuss the nitty-gritty details of pitching and crafting a story that not only gains the attention of your audience but convinces them to become a supporter as well. 


As a four-time individual national finalist in speech and debate, Chief of Staff for an incredible healthcare organization, and a coach for dozens of executive speakers, Jack knows a thing or two about the winning points of public speaking.  


If you have been left asking, how do I pitch myself? How do I pitch my business? Or, if you are afraid of public speaking (don’t worry, you aren’t alone!), this episode has your name all over it. 


Key takeaways: 

  • Questions to ask before you even begin 
  • Building a structure around your story
  • A sure-proof structured method to use if all else fails
  • Script creation and PRACTICE
  • The perfect pitching stance
  • How to pitch virtually
  • The dos and don'ts for attire (dress to impress - always!) 
  • Why hiring a coach is more important than making your pitch deck look good
