My elevator pitch

Last week, I spent 9 hours on a business bootcamp. The online meetings were held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, from 6 – 9 pm. One of the PowerPoint slides told us what to include in an elevator pitch…

I signed up for the course to explore the possibility of making a business out of ‘Read with Julia’. I’ve had a go at the ‘selling-your-proposition-in-one-minute’ task. I haven’t stuck to the format and it’s written not spoken, but here’s my version so far:

I’m Julia. I’ve been teaching children to read for over 30 years and I’m passionate about the whole process. I know from my own work (and from studying research) that shared reading brings big benefits to children and families – especially in building relationships. 

I’m seeking to support children who may be stumbling on their road to reading. I firmly believe my training, skills and experience equip me with the power to remove obstacles, steady worrying wobbles, and fire up motivation to keep children moving forward in their journey to literacy.

‘Read with Julia’ to:

Take off anxiety,

Take off pressure,

Take off stress,

Relax into reading,

Bond through books.
