Slides don't Save Lives

But you do, and this course will teach you how to tell that story—that pitch.

Are you ready to become a better version of yourself?

Unlocking the storyteller

Everyone is a storyteller, some might be good at it, a few understand i’ts more than a soft-skill, it’s a must skill and only a handful of medical doctors and researchers will learn that more than storytelling, it’s story writing. Welcome to the Story Pitcher.

This live cohort will teach you how to harness the power of writing, storytelling, words. Unlock your inner ability to bring your work to more people, achieve more, save more lives.

Why now?

It’s important to have a compelling story now more than ever. Differentiate yourself by sharing a story that truly connects with your audience. By doing so, you can make a meaningful impact not only on your colleagues but also on the lives of your patients and others. A powerful story has the potential to be remembered and to make a real difference. A 60-slide IMRAD presentation won’t save lives, but a story backed by research can.

This is how we build storytellers, Through habits

Six weeks, two sessions every week, we learn, we practice, we pitch, we write, we edit, we improve, we repeat.

Each week will consist of a one-hour session, mostly interactive, during which Nir will present the methodology's concepts.

 

The second session will be practice and questions.

This session will be a 90 min chance to present, edit, and learn everything we did the past week, improving individual projects each participant is working on

WEEK 6: Words matter
