Pitching and momentum: learn it, do it, love it!

Following up on this three-part mini-series with Nick Sinai and
Marina Nitze, I bring you part 2 from their book Hack Your
Bureaucracy.  I have to say, this book has truly struck a
chord with me. The stories are compelling and based on wisdom
gained from hacking bureaucracies in both the private and public
sectors. What really sets it apart is its practical approach; at
the end of each chapter, there are actionable takeaways that
bridge the gap between theory and real-world
implementation. 


It's like a workbook that tells you exactly how to apply what
you've learned! The content applies to getting things done no
matter what your role on any team (starting, growing,
scaling). 


In this episode, we are delving into some really incredible
stories from the book focused on pitching and momentum-crafting
your message and gaining support. 


One that especially caught my attention was Marina's journey with
a paperclip and bar code readers (yes, true) at the Department of
Veterans Affairs, a testament to how small innovations can spark
significant change within a complex system. 


Nick discusses the tremendous staying power of the one-pager. We
also discuss adapting to shifts in leadership and aligning
pitches with evolving visions from new leaders to maintain
momentum. It's about finding common ground and speaking the
language that resonates with decision-makers.


The next part of the discussion coming to you in September will
focus on the critical aspect of building and sustaining change to
achieve tangible results. We are going to pull it all together in
this final show of the series.
