I like how pitching is broken down as story telling and the 3 parts that must be used in order to create the story. I enjoyed the video content, both historical and on point.

Whist interesting and well put together, I wanted guidance on putting my pitch together.
I got good insights in to some other pitches but not help in writing my own.

Visuals, examples, and presentation are spot-on. Tightly structured with nicely compacted short videos. Great intro on general factors that contribute to a successful pitch.

I have always viewed pitching as manipulating instead of influencing in a positive direction or helping people. The course thus far has taken my negative definition away. I feel more confident to share my ideas now. Thank you.
