In this online 3-hour masterclass you’ll explore a collection of memorable, easily actionable and proven principles that can help you move from idea to execution most of the time, and pitch with precision.
The idea is the easy part. Keeping an idea alive so it can find its fullest form is the challenge. This is almost never done in private. It takes people, occasionally hundreds of them. An idea first chooses to live or die when told to others, and it is here where even the exceptional ones can be brought to a permanent stop.
If we want our ideas made, which is the most honest and respectable way to advance a career or company forward, they will have to be sold well and without deception. This requires an act of preparedness. This online 3-hour Masterclass is designed to help make individuals and teams prepared every time.
