You know your business better than anyone — now it’s time to talk about it like a pro. Whether you're pitching to potential partners, speaking at markets, or networking with new clients, how you present your business matters.

Join Start Small Think Big for a 90-minute interactive webinar with Viviana Hurtado, Ph.D. — a former network broadcast journalist and founder of Viviana Luxury aromatherapy scents. With decades of experience commanding the spotlight and helping others shine, Viviana will walk you through how to speak about your business with clarity, confidence, and charisma.

But this isn’t just a passive session—you’ll get the chance to practice your pitch live and receive personalized feedback from Viviana herself! After the main presentation, we’ll move into small, supportive breakout groups so every participant can practice, reflect, and improve their delivery in real time.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Craft a Clear Message - Learn how to organize your ideas into a compelling pitch
  • Build Presence - Overcome nerves and speak with authority and authenticity
  • Adapt Your Delivery - Tailor your message to different audiences and settings
  • Connect with Impact - Make a memorable impression and build trust when you speak

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to polish your pitch, this session will give you the tools and confidence to own the room — and your voice.
