How People Ruin Their Pitch

(and what to do instead)

It’s not your perfectly curated script that makes your pitch powerful, it’s your understanding.

You can memorize every clever line about who you are and what you do, but if you don’t know why it lands (or doesn’t) you still run the risk of sounding disconnected and robotic.

The most confident communicators aren’t the ones who have the “perfect pitch.” They’re the ones who intimately understand the heartbeat underneath their message. The why that drives it. That creates flexibility, confidence, and presence. Because when you know what’s fueling your words, you can adapt in any situation: panel, pitch, podcast, networking event or impromptu hallway conversation.

And yes, sometimes that means you’ll pause mid-sentence and search for the right words. Good. That’s what real humans do in real conversations every day.

People trip over their thoughts all the time, and we don’t see it as strange or unprofessional, we see it as authentic.

That’s what the Tailor-Made Communication Playbook does for you. Sure, it gives you scripts, storyline templates, and talking points you can pull from. But the real power is what’s underneath it all, the thing that makes your message hum. The emotional engine that keeps your words alive no matter where you take them.

Because once you understand why your message works, you’ll never need to memorize it again.
