Pitching a project: Clarity beats charisma

AI visual

What a pitch comes down to: is your project as clear to others as it is to you?

What grabs an audience’s attention isn’t charisma or a clever line: it’s a problem they recognize, a proposal they understand, and an ask they can decide on. This module has you first clarify your project for yourself, then lay it out in five points, and deliver it with energy that beats reciting a memorized text.

~20 min at your own paceKey skill: Public SpeakingAvailable in FR + ENNo prerequisites

What you’ll take away

  • the six questions to ask yourself before writing a line of your pitch
  • the five-point plan, from recognized problem to precise ask
  • three actions to use on the day, from breath to eye contact

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants to see their ideas and projects through by presenting them clearly, whatever their personality.

Learning objectives

  1. Clarify your project before presenting it by answering the six questions a pitch is built on.
  2. Structure a five-point pitch: the problem, the proposal, the how, the proven benefit, and the ask.
  3. Use AI to structure and challenge your pitch, not to clarify your project for you.
  4. Deliver your pitch with presence (breathing, eye contact, authenticity) and manage the stage fright almost everyone feels.
