In the upcoming Business Essentials session on February 6, Dr. Young will delve into her groundbreaking research that explores the transformative power of pre-pitch anxiety. This session promises to be an enlightening experience for entrepreneurs and business professionals alike, as Dr. Young will share insights from her recently published work that reveals how harnessing anxiety can significantly enhance pitch performance.
During her presentation, Dr. Young will take attendees through her research journey, highlighting the innovative methods and approaches employed in her study. She and her co-authors discovered that by channeling pre-pitch anxiety into a sense of passion, entrepreneurs can not only manage their stress but also elevate their overall performance when presenting their ideas. This re-framing technique, which they have termed “Linking Anxiety to Passion,” offers a fresh perspective on how emotional responses can be leveraged to create more compelling pitches.
Dr. Young will discuss the psychological underpinnings of anxiety and how it often affects entrepreneurs before critical moments, such as pitching to investors or stakeholders. By shifting the narrative around anxiety from one of fear and avoidance to one of empowerment and enthusiasm, entrepreneurs can transform their presentations into more authentic and engaging experiences.
Attendees can expect to gain practical strategies and actionable insights that they can implement in their own pitching processes. Dr. Young will also highlight real-world examples of entrepreneurs who have successfully utilized this technique, demonstrating the tangible benefits that can arise from viewing anxiety through a different lens.
In summary, this session is not just about understanding anxiety; it is about embracing it as a catalyst for passion and success in entrepreneurship. Dr. Young’s research could potentially change the way entrepreneurs prepare for pitches, fostering a new generation of confident and passionate presenters. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Dr. Young and discover how you can turn your own anxiety into a powerful tool for growth and achievement.
