WEN are delighted to invite you to a masterclass with Imogen Short & Gina Marescia: From Voice to Pitch: How to Speak About What You Do With Confidence.
When someone asks, “What do you do?”, your answer shouldn’t feel uncomfortable, unclear - or forgettable.
In this practical and empowering session, leadership impact coach, Gina Marescia, and storytelling strategist, Imogen Short, will guide you through the two essential steps to introduce yourself with impact:
- Defining your voice – identifying the values, strengths, and mission that underpin your work
- Crafting your elevator pitch – turning that clarity into a concise, compelling introduction you can use in any professional setting
You’ll walk away with a confident and authentic way to talk about what you do—whether you’re networking, pitching, or showing up online.
In this session, you’ll:
- Gain clarity on your leadership voice and core message
- Learn a story-led framework for creating a memorable elevator pitch
- Practise delivering it in a supportive environment
- Receive expert feedback to refine your message
Whether you're an established entrepreneur or just getting started, this session will help you speak about your work in a way that feels aligned, confident, and ready to open doors.
