General

You have been working on your idea for years, planning for months. You have researched, noted and written hundreds of thousands of words... and scrapped many of them over this time.

You are finally at the point where you need to give your presentation. You hand your jury panel some handouts, turn on your projector,.. and the machine dies.

You are up for millions of dollars in startup money, so that you can make the world a better place. This is your life. You have nothing else. You took a bus to get to this meeting, because you sold your car.

This is your one shot...

When all is said and done, NO ONE comes to see a power point pitch. They come to see you and your idea presented.

Throw your notes away. You know everything about this. You know the pauses, you know the funny stuff and more importantly you know the impact of your life changing work.

You have prepared your speech to the level that you don't need a projector... it's just a prop with some colors.

You begin your presentation. First, everyone is amazed that you are even going on. THEN, as you look them in their eyes defining your project with clarity, humor and heart, one by one, the panelists, who are only human after all, are all taken with you.

You have leaned into the Maelstrom and have played your case, relating your facts and figures informed by deep emotion.

You have just given the best presentation of your life... again.

This is the technique of : Accessing The Maelstrom.
