Usually members-only. This time, we’re opening the doors.
With Free Spirits LIVE! and the World of Learning Expo just around the corner, there are going to be plenty of opportunities to introduce yourself, talk about what you do and make new connections.
So, for this special edition of Pitchathon, we’re opening it up to non-members too.
Pitchathon takes place in a live room inside our Circle community. If you’re already a Free Spirits member, you can join us as usual. If you’re not, simply sign up to Circle as a guest for free and you’ll be able to come along and join in.
Think of it as a power hour for perfecting the art of self-promotion, because let’s face it, selling yourself can feel awkward. And when we’re asked what we do, we often blurt out a super lengthy explanation that leaves people either confused or zoning out.
We want to help you fix that!
The L&D Pitchathon is usually our monthly members-only meetup, giving you a safe space to finesse your elevator pitch, test it out and leave with the confidence to own any room.
Whether you’re landing clients, networking at events, getting ready for Free Spirits LIVE! or World of Learning, or just trying to explain to Aunt Susan what “learning and development” actually means, we’re here to help you hit the sweet spot.
Why sign up to the Pitchathon?
Because your elevator pitch deserves to sparkle, and there’s no better place to polish it than with a group of supportive Free Spirits.
- Practice makes perfect: Deliver your pitch, tweak it and try again in a no-pressure environment.
- Get real feedback: Honest, actionable input from fellow freelancers, consultants and small business owners.
- Experiment safely: This is your sandbox. Play around with tone, language and delivery until it clicks.
- Boost your confidence: Walk away ready to tackle your next networking event, conference or client meeting.
How does the Pitchathon work?
- Kick-off & warm-up: Grab a cuppa and settle in for a quick-fire round of introductions.
- Pitch like a pro: Each participant gets a chance to deliver their pitch.
- Feedback frenzy: We’ll dissect it (nicely!) and give you constructive advice to elevate your game.
- Tweak, test, repeat: Make adjustments and have another go. It’s all about progress, not perfection.
The Pitchathon isn’t just practice and it isn’t a webinar. It’s an immersive event. It’s fast-paced, supportive and designed to leave you energised and ready to tackle the world, or at least your next client conversation.
And with two of the biggest networking opportunities in our calendar coming up, there couldn’t be a better time to get your pitch nailed.
This special edition of Pitchathon is open to everyone. Join Circle as either a Free Spirits member or a free guest to take part.
Once you register as a guest, you’ll be added to the L&D Free Spirits mailing list. We’ll send you our monthly newsletter, useful resources, event updates and practical support. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any of our emails.
