Testimonial
Next to the pleasure of working with Bianca and Christoph, I am each time amazed by the pure
efficiency and professionalism with which the two carry out their pitch coaching. Regardless whether they work with a team for five minutes or an hour,
there is always something that the two identify with great precision that can
be substantially improved. The two are also perfectly synchronous, with Bianca focused on
style and Christoph on content. They are the yin and yang of pitching.

Testimonial
Michael Ronen was/is a great host. Besides being very friendly and
open, he had interesting things to tell and made sure every one got
the best out of the acting workshop! Great experience!

Testimonial
Face it. You are no natural born pitcher, and likely boring to watch on stage. Bianca pushes
you out of the comfort zone, breaks down your pitch, and gives your performance a no-nonsense bare-fisted beating, before pulling
you back in again as a friendly pitcher-midwife, to a world where you are more
confident, more convincing and able to deliver a story people listen to.
