The Launch of Pitch ‘n’ Speak

Zest Cafe has been very supportive venue provider as well as an active event organizer since the birth of Pitch ‘n’ Win.

Having organized the original version of Pitch ‘n’ Win meetup for 5 times, Zest Cafe pivoted their event model and started to organize Pitch ‘n’ Speak starting from January 2014.

In Pitch ‘n’ Speak, participants are given a topic related to business on the spot, and they are to give their Two-Minute Impromptu Speech (TIS) on the topic and relate to their business.

Zest Cafe boss Ong Beng Chung hosted Pitch ‘n’ Speak @ Zest Cafe #1 on 18th January 2014. 7 members participated in speaking and were given topics from wealth to business mission, and even one on the upcoming Chinese New Year.

We were blessed to have in our midst the guest speaker and speech coach Mr Tan Kok Heng, an Advanced Communicator and Advanced Leader in Toastmasters Malaysia. He evaluated all speeches and gave feedback to each of the speaker.

He also spent some time to teach us how to give a good impromptu speech, or “table topic” as it is called in Toastmasters. He also adapted his guidelines to the pitching and business nature in Pitch ‘n’ Win.

Dr Cham and Ravindran were voted as the winners of the day. Both of them gave another around of sharing of 5 minutes each. With this, the Pitch ‘n’ Speak event series has started.
