Pitch for your most audacious goals.

You have a vision — for your project, your company, your life's work. This program is for the founders, creators, and small business owners who are ready to stop underselling that vision and start making the ask with real confidence. Whether you land the meeting, the check, or the collaborator, Get Pitch Ready gives you the craft and the practice to walk in prepared.

Who it’s for

Founders · Creators · Small business owners · Independent artists · Entrepreneurs · Leaders of mission-driven organizations

What’s included:

Session 1 — Group workshop

The Art of the Pitch

The essential foundations: connecting your pitch to your bigger vision, and learning how to prepare your mind, your materials, and your body for the real thing.

Sessions 2–4 — Private coaching

Your pitch, your needs

Three one-on-one sessions focused on you — reviewing materials, co-writing, and live pitch practice tailored to your goals and your audience.

Sessions 5 — Pitch together!

Final pitch with friends

We gather as a cohort to pitch together, and admire everyone’s progress, offer constructive feedback, and share network contacts to help everyone succeed.

  • "Emily meets you exactly where you are and reflects back what matters. The way that she listened and brought me to clarity while understanding my real stuck points and believing in my vision was truly incredible. Our time together moved my work forward beyond just the pitch — I feel more confident, excited, and ready."

    —Lars Gallien, Somatic Sports Coach

  • “She took the time to understand the heart of my story and helped me shape a pitch that felt authentic, compelling, and tailored to the audience I was trying to reach. Her feedback was thoughtful, strategic, and deeply encouraging."

    —Hannah Peterson, Wonderlust Storytelling Institute

  • “I felt more confident going into this public speaking opportunity to thank my donors, introduce an expanded vision of our philanthropic model, and raise funds for the path ahead. Emily’ssuggestion about a tangible call to action definitely worked. We raised $17,000 in one event!”

    —Gabriela Reyes, CREA Funds (international development)
