What if you could pitch like a pro and feel confident every time you present to potential clients & investors?

You know your businesses inside and out, and you’ve put together a pitch deck with all the necessary details... but somehow you’re not getting second meetings - let alone winning at pitch competitions!

First Impressions matter!

Most likely, the problem is not what you’re saying but how you’re saying it. There’s something in your body language (some unconscious movement you’re doing) that is giving the wrong impression to your audience.

Our brains are wired to distrust people whose body language doesn’t align with their spoken message. For example, we feel a sense of conviction in a person’s open and forward facing chest. When we see someone hunching and saying “I know we can take 10% of this market in a year” we believe what we see (hunching over = lack of conviction) over what we hear (“I know”).

What if every movement and gesture you made had a clear purpose and direction?

YOU Are Your Most Important Message

Our approach to public speaking is based on body awareness so you can feel empowered while pitching. We teach founders and business executives how to adapt their body language to different situations in order to deliver the most authentic, powerful pitch that will win over any audience.

For this to happen, you have to be able to get people invested in your pitch and even more importantly, get them to feel confident investing in you as a person.

Helping entrepreneurs learn how to pitch with confidence while also conveying authority and expertise is what we pride ourselves in doing.

With the right eye contact, intonation, hand gestures and posture, your entire presentation will become more dynamic, and you'll be able to connect with your audience and convey trustworthiness.

"The course provided a rigorous and detailed insight into how best to deliver a great pitch. The key aspects of a pitch were broken down into clear and powerful segments via the tutorials and detailed feedback from the coach. As such, I was able to pinpoint the exact areas which I needed to improve on, before bringing everything together into a confident pitch. Following the course, I have been able to master the techniques and feel more confident in my delivery. I would strongly recommend the course."

- LOUISE BRONI-MENSAH, FOUNDER & CEO AT SHOOBS

"The training was thorough and put together very well and systematically. This gave me a chance to tackle the specific problem areas like my posture. I feel much more confident about pitching since I had the training; the feedback was detailed, especially where it picked up on things that I knew I needed help with! To anyone thinking about taking this course, I would say, go for it! They were professional and had the right experience and more. Plus it was fun! "

- SAMANTHA PROSSER, CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER, ONE2ONE MENTORING NETWORK & SENIOR BUSINESS ADVISER AT XTF UK LTD

"I’m not in a position to pitch yet, but it definitely prepared me for when the time does come. I think the training would help me to have a sense of confidence and presence when pitching. Having completed the exercises and watched the videos, I’m clear on what good body language and confidence look like and I’m certainly more conscious of it when I’m in meetings, even via Zoom! I felt confident I could pitch when the time arose. It really opened my eyes to see how I was communicating with the people around me. Definitely sign-up, it really made me think about my body language and what I was communicating non verbally."

- PAMELA ADEYEBA, FOUNDER OF UNVEILING PEARLS

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. But please note that the Feedback Services we provide will be available to you for 6-weeks after purchase.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 14 days and we will give you a full refund.
How long will it take me to complete the course (all 6 modules)?
It’s really up to you but we recommend that you complete two modules per week so that you can take advantage of the professional coaching feedback (available for the first 3 weeks of course). You’re welcome to do the course in less time as well! Each module shouldn’t take more than 30-35 mins (max!) to complete, including any assignments. In fact, we specifically created the course in bite-sized modules as we want you to be able to complete it, even if you have very little time.
Is this course still relevant for me if I’m not a founder/entrepreneur, but work in a corporate or other organisation?
Yes! While our content is focused on how to deliver a winning pitch, our body language techniques work for any type of public speaking. And at the end of the day, in any presentation, we give we are pitching something...an idea, a concept, ourselves!
Do I need to have a pitch in order to take the course?
Not necessarily. If you don’t have a pitch, we provide you with a generic one so you can practice the techniques we teach you. But if you do have one (or are working on developing one) it’s a good opportunity to practice how you will deliver it. All the skills and techniques you will learn in the course are transferable to any public speaking situation.
Will this course help me even if I’m not at the stage of pitching to investors? What if I’m not a founder at all?
We highly recommend that you don’t miss the opportunity to purchase the course now at the discounted price even if you may not be pitching your company until further down the line. What you’ll learn is a skill for life, and just like riding a bicycle, once you learn it, you will embody it and it will become part of the way you communicate, no matter what you are pitching. Also, if you purchase it now, you will have lifetime access to the programme so can review and refresh your skills anytime AND you will have free access to any future upgrades as well as the list of Bonus Gifts.
Is the course live or pre-recorded?
The course videos have all been pre-recorded, but the feedback you’ll be receiving from our Metaspeech coaches are personalised to you based on the 1-2min videos you will be filming as assignments (in a report) The weekly Zoom calls and bonus one-on-one session with Mariana will be live.
There are numerous public speaking courses online for free. Why should I invest in this course? What is so different about it?
Yes it’s true - there are many online tutorials on public speaking available for free and they all have their merits. In fact, we recommend you watch as many of them as possible - the more training the better! However, the difference you’ll get with a course given by Metaspeech is that we give you feedback on what YOU are doing with your body while pitching so you know which areas you need to work on. We will tell you what is rarely told about how you're coming across to your audience. We also specialise in the specific needs of founders/entrepreneurs whose future depends on their pitch. We know what investors look for and have 6 years of experience coaching and training founders and CEOs in startup accelerators, international pitch competitions, and even the BBC’s Dragon’s Den...founders who then went on to raise millions and create successful businesses. After years spent in the startup ecosystem,, we can confidently say that there really isn’t a more tailored course on Body Language for Pitching out there.
How can I measure ROI? How can I know I’ll get the results I want?
Pitching is not something you read about and instantly become good at. It’s about PRACTICE which means REPEATED ACTION. Some of the teachings in the course will be easier to embody than others. As we have been inhabiting our bodies for so long, some habits have become almost unconscious, and transforming them might take time and effort. But I can tell you this: the improvements you will make in your pitching style will be very clear by the end of the course IF YOU PRACTICE. (You’ll be able to track the improvement through the videos you submit which our professional coaches will evaluate for you).
