Curriculum
Programme Structure
The programme is structured in 5 modules, listed below in order of study.
01
Fundamentals of persuasive communication, message construction and strategic principles to present ideas with clarity and impact
- Concept of idea, value proposition and pitch: differences, objectives and contexts of use in professional, academic, commercial and creative environments
- Principles of persuasive communication applied to the presentation of ideas: clarity, synthesis, relevance, structure and orientation to the receptor
- Essential elements of a solid idea: problem, solution, benefit, differentiation and communicative viability
- Pitch typologies: Elevator Pitch, Commercial Pitch, Project Pitch, Investment Pitch, Institutional Pitch and Presentation of Internal Proposals
- Factors that determine the effectiveness of a presentation: audience, context, time available, language and emotional connection capacity
02
Pitch structure, strategic narrative and content organisation to capture attention and generate conviction
- Basic structure of an effective pitch: opening, development, central proposal, evidence and persuasive closure
- Construction of the main message: what to say, in what order and with what level of depth according to the objective of the presentation
- Storytelling applied to the presentation of ideas: narrative, conflict, opportunity, transformation and memorability of the message
- Clear formulation of the problem and the proposed solution: Approach, differentiation and perceived value for the audience
- Use of rational and emotional arguments to strengthen credibility and increase pitch conviction power
03
Oral communication, body language and expression techniques to speak safely, clarity and stage presence
- Voice, diction, rhythm, pauses and intonation as tools to convey security, authority and closeness when presenting an idea
- Pitch body language: posture, gestures, gaze, displacement and coherence between physical expression and verbal message
- Techniques for controlling nerves, anxiety and scenic blocking before and during a public presentation
- Construction of personal presence and credibility by exposing: Perceived security, authenticity and mastery of communicative space
- Adaptation of the style of communication according to the type of audience: investors, clients, managers, jurors, partners or the general public
04
Visual design of the pitch, presentation props and construction of clear, professional and persuasive materials
- Principles of visual design applied to presentations: hierarchy, simplicity, legibility, contrast and graphic coherence
- Selection and organisation of visual contents: short texts, graphics, images, figures and supporting elements that reinforce the message
- High impact pitch design: visual structure, narrative flow and balance between information and aesthetics
- Strategic use of data, metrics and comparisons to support the proposal without saturating the audience
- Integration between oral discourse and visual support: Synchronization, reinforcement of the argument and prevention of excessive dependency of the presentation
05
Capstone Project for the development, design and presentation of a professional pitch applied to a real or simulated idea, project or proposal
- Definition of the case study: idea, project, product, service or initiative that will be converted into a structured pitch
- Construction of the central message and strategic narrative: problem, value proposition, benefits and differentiation
- Design of the complete pitch structure and selection of key arguments for the target audience
- Preparation of visual support and complementary materials of presentation with criteria of clarity and persuasion
- Simulation or execution of the oral presentation: voice management, body language, time, questions and final closure
