## Speakers

- **Jon Burkhart** — Founder & Chief Creative Officer

Next time you’re nervous pitching to a client, ask yourself, “What’s my wrecking ball here?” It could be your tone, your brevity, or your charisma. FACT: Most creative folk don’t get proper pitch/prezo training. They wing it. What if you could learn to tell/sell energizing stories that sprinkle magic dust all over the client? Did you know this is an often-overlooked, age-old art form? Your workshop guide is keynote speaker & firecracker pitching coach Jon, and he’s spoken at SX 18 times & trained 1000s in 26 countries. He’ll prep you to deliver & destroy in boardrooms & on stages the world over.
