SUMMARY:Pitch Academy: The Science of Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Pitch Academy\nThe Science of Storytelling\nJuly 8 | 11:30 am to 1 pm EST | Virtual Session\nStorytelling drives results. \nA powerful story changes everything. It draws people in\, strengthens your message\, and makes your ideas stick. This workshop blends AI with human guidance to help you craft stories that elevate every conversation. \nWhat you’ll learn:\n1. The brain on stories:\nHow stories light up more of the brain than facts alone by creating empathy and shared neural responses.\n2. Building blocks of a story:\nGreat stories use characters\, conflict\, and change\, all guided by the Hero’s Journey framework.\n3. Make your message stick:\nPacing\, pausing\, tone\, and narrative framing help transform data and ideas into messages people remember.\n  \nClick Here to Register\n  \n \nNico Aguilar\, the CEO and co-founder of Speeko\, knows firsthand the challenges of public speaking. For years\, he struggled to find his voice\, experiencing the anxieties and frustrations that hold many people back from communicating effectively. He eventually discovered the transformative power of speech coaching\, but also realized how expensive and inaccessible it was for most people. \nThis personal journey fueled Nico’s passion to democratize this essential skill. He co-founded Speeko\, an AI-powered speech coach\, to make confident communication accessible and affordable for everyone. \n \nJen Litwin leads Speeko’s premium live coaching business and enterprise partnerships. She brings deep expertise in executive presence\, vocal mastery\, relationship building\, and career development\, empowering individuals and teams to unlock their voices and show up with confidence\, authenticity\, and power. \nJen’s diverse background spans over three decades in high-stakes finance\, tech sales\, classical music performance\, and dynamic live facilitation. Prior to Speeko\, Jen served as Vice President\, Head of Sales & Client Experience at The Forem\, Senior Vice President and Head of Relationship Management at Greenwich Associates (now Crisil Coalition Greenwich)\, and she was a senior sales trader at UBS Investment Bank. She began her corporate career in back-office operations at AIG Financial Products Corp.
