MCG Presentation Coaching Helped Mentees win $15,000
In September 2024, I served as a Bridge for Billions mentor for the Boeing Employees’ Credit Union cohort. I hosted two sessions for participants to prepare them for their pitch competition at the end of the month. Each session provided general information about the content and timing of their slides as well as ways to persuade the audience.
Being an entrepreneur in both the United States and internationally, I know first-hand the challenges that face Black people and women when it comes to starting and scaling a business. As a mentor, I went the extra mile with my group. It was a lot more time on my part, but from my experience doing this work, I know that bringing patience and flexibility to groups is crucial for entrepreneurial success. So, I spent one hour of one-on-one time with anyone in the group who chose to use it. And that extra attention paid off! All three grand prize winners of the pitch competition spent one-on-one time with me receiving individualized feedback to improve their pitch, resulting in a total of $15,000.00 in prize winnings!
