Train like a professional

Got a big pitch coming up? We’ve got you covered.

Bring your pitch to WAAPA. 90 minutes, one-to-one with a senior WAAPA practitioner. Skills, frameworks, practice, development, and live feedback specific to you - applied to real material in a private studio at our brand new city campus.

A different kind of professional development, built on WAAPA's world class reputation of training by doing.

Who is The Pitch Intensive for?

This intensive is for sales leaders, business development professionals, partners, founders, and executives who pitch everyday for new clients, new projects or executive buy in. You might be preparing for a specific pitch where the stakes are high, or building your pitching capability more systematically. Either way, you work on your own, real pitch, one-to-one with a senior WAAPA practitioner.

This Intensive is for you if any of these sound familiar:

• You have a high stakes pitch coming up - for a contract, a client, or investment.

• You're losing pitches you should be winning

• You've been promoted into a role that requires stronger pitching

• You're a senior leader expected to win work, and the pressure is increasing.

• You want to walk into the next pitch feeling confident and well prepared.

What You'll Work On

• Your opening - get your audience on side in the first vital minutes.

• Telling the story with influence and persuasion - why you, why now, why this way.

• Dealing with interruptions and objections

• Composure under pressure - managing nerves, staying calm and present.

• Reading the room - adapting in real time

What You'll Walk Away With

• A clear set of pitching skills and frameworks you can apply immediately.

• A refined, well practised version of your pitch - ready to go.

• Prepared responses for interruptions and objections.

• A warm up and preparation plan to walk into your pitch with confidence.

How it works

You'll spend 90 focused minutes one-to-one with a senior WAAPA practitioner in a private studio. The session is built around real material - we assess where you are, introduce the skills and frameworks that matter most for your situation, and work on your content with live feedback. The shape of the session is tailored to you: what you need, what you're preparing for, and where the time is best spent.

Not working towards a specific pitch?

No problem. We have you covered. We will workshop a pitch scenario that is relevant to your professional world for us to work on together. So you can practise the skills you need to land any pitch that comes up in the future.

Why a 90 minute intensive?

A traditional one-day workshop puts you in a room with 20 to 25 other people, working through generic exercises, with maybe 10 minutes of personalised attention if you're lucky. The frameworks are useful. The group dynamic is energising. But the practical reality is that you spend most of the day watching other people learn.

Our 90-minute private intensives are built differently. You work one-to-one with a senior WAAPA practitioner, on real material, in a private studio. Every minute of the session is focused on you. Your delivery, your habits, your situation, your goals. The feedback is immediate, specific, and rehearsed in the room rather than left to apply later.

This is why our clients consistently tell us they get more from 90 minutes here than from a full day elsewhere.
