What you'll leave with
Three things, in under an hour.
01
A pitch that lands
The three fundamentals that decide every pitch: speak to their need not your story, pass the "so what?" test, and the discipline of 10/20/30.
02
Why the same pitch flips
Why the deck that wins in New York dies in Tokyo: high vs low context, relationship before contract, and how to read silence, hierarchy and face in the room.
03
Four rules for Monday
Notice before you judge. Ask before you assume. Separate intent from impact. Adapt with respect. Four moves you can use in your next cross-border meeting.
Who it's for
For founders, sales leaders, students and consultants who pitch or negotiate across cultures. If your last cross-border meeting ended in a polite "yes" that went nowhere, this hour tells you why, and what to do differently.

Still deciding?
It's free, it's live, and you keep the recording either way. Worst case, you spend fifty minutes with forty years of stories from pitching across Japan, the U.S. and Europe. Best case, your next pitch lands.
