Work doesn't Speak for Itself : U have to Speak Up
Your Work doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Knowingly or Unknowingly You’re already Telling a Story About your work.
Every Email/ Blog Comment/ Tweets / Photos, we Send— They’re all Bits & Pieces of a multimedia narrative we’re constantly constructing from our WORK.
Thoughtful Quote on the Story Telling:
“ The Cat sat on a Mat, is not a Story. But, the Cat sat on the Dog’s mat, is a Story “ — John Le Carre
Every Client presentation, Personal essay, Cover Letters, Resume, Fund-Raise Request, and Sales Bids.
They're All just PitchesTo make a Good Pitch, set up in 3 Acts : Past > Present > Future
- PAST : where you have been, what you want, what you have done so far
- PRESENT : what you are now, how you have used your current resources
- FUTURE : where you are going, how exactly the person you’re pitching can help you get there.
