What your students
walk away with.

Pitch It Up™ isn't a motivational talk. It's a skills workshop with a clear methodology — frameworks your students can apply immediately, in interviews, presentations, funding pitches, and every room that matters.

Every session is customized to your audience, your program goals, and the specific communication challenges your students face.

A personal pitch they can actually use Students build and deliver their own pitch — not a template, their actual story — by end of session.
The 9-Point Pitch Framework Squeaky's proprietary checklist — the same methodology behind her book #100Pitches — taught and applied live.
Storytelling as strategy How to use narrative to create connection, build credibility, and move any audience to action.
Confidence under pressure Live pitch practice with real-time feedback — so students experience the room before the stakes are real.
Measurable takeaways Written pitch outlines, frameworks, and tools students keep — documentable outcomes for grant reporting and program assessment.

The Pitch It Up™
curriculum.

01

Foundation — Know What You're Pitching

Before you can pitch anything, you need to know what you're actually selling — your idea, your value, or yourself. We start here.

  • Defining your pitch purpose
  • Audience mapping
  • The "What do I want them to do?" framework
02

Your Story — The Pitch Inside the Pitch

Facts tell. Stories sell. We build the narrative layer that makes your pitch memorable — and human.

  • Brand story construction
  • The origin moment technique
  • Connecting personal truth to audience need
03

Structure — The 9-Point Framework

Squeaky's proprietary pitch architecture — from opening hook to confident close — taught and applied live.

  • The hook, the problem, the solution
  • Proof, differentiation, financials
  • The ask and the close
04

Delivery — The Room Reads You

Your words are 30% of your pitch. We work on presence, pacing, and how to own a room with confidence — not performance.

  • Verbal & nonverbal communication
  • Handling nerves and silence
  • Q&A and objection response
05

Practice — Real Pitches, Real Feedback

Every student pitches. Every pitch gets feedback. This is where the methodology becomes muscle memory.

  • Live pitch rounds
  • Peer and facilitator feedback
  • Iteration in real time
06

Beyond the Workshop

Students leave with a written pitch outline, the Pitch Checklist, and access to tools they can use long after the session ends.

  • Pitch outline template
  • 9-Point checklist (take-home)
  • Next steps & resources

We fit your calendar,
your budget, your goals.
