Moree Pitch to Grow Series: Pitch Workshop with Edwina Sharrock
Edwina Sharrock with Moree Pitch Masterclass participants.
We were beyond excited to welcome Edwina Sharrock OAM to Moree for a game-changing, hands-on workshop on Saturday, 29 March 2025.
If you know startups, you know Edwina. She built Birth Beat from a living-room birthing course into a national antenatal program used by major hospitals and corporations like Salesforce—securing a Shark Tank deal along the way before selling to Med-Tech giant Device Technologies.
She’s a Cartier Women’s Initiative Oceania Fellow (2021), Deputy Chair of the Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network, Co-Chair of the Telstra Regional Council, and has racked up wins in the Telstra Small Business Awards, Commonwealth Bank Innovation Award, and AFR’s 100 Women of Influence.
In this exclusive, face-to-face coaching session, Edwina pulled back the curtain on what makes a pitch irresistible: how to grab attention, keep it, and sell your idea like a pro.
Workshop participants learnt how to:
✨ Nail their business story without losing people in the details.
✨ Create a killer pitch deck using a simple, proven framework
✨ Uncover what makes a pitch work—because it’s not just about confidence.
✨ Sell their idea to anyone—whether it’s an investor, a panel of judges, or your dream client.
Participants rated the workshop and Edwina as a presenter 5 stars out of 5. All felt more confident about pitching their business after the workshop.
Some testimonials from the workshop include:
“Amazing workshop, Edwina was unreal.”
“Excellent day.”
“I’ll be overseas when Pitch2Grow is on. Will consider for next year. It was an excellent workshop. Thank you to UNE SRI for bringing Edwina to Moree. Thank you to Sheree for arranging this. Thank you to Moree Social Co House for hosting.”
“Great experience and thank you to Sheree for organising Edwina.”
“I would like to congratulate you on a fantastic workshop. It was extremely valuable to me for the following reasons:
It has provided me with the necessary information to help me develop a pitch – a story, to gain interest in a new technology, an on-farm practice, any idea really where I’m looking for support or change.
It provided me with a HUGE positive boost for Moree at a time when all seems so negative about the town, what a fantastic group of people with incredible ideas for Moree. I can now see how important it is to support the Pitch to Grow, encouraging members of our local community to attend and support these ideas.
A new network – I love meeting new people in town. I’d be keen to catch up with these guys again\
“Edwina was terrific, an energetic, highly motivated speaker. You could tell she loves what she does and likes to share her skills and experiences. Her feedback during our introduction sessions and after the pitches showed just how deeply she listens!! Such useful feedback for all.”
“A very well organised day, great venue, catering you did a fantastic job and created a very worthwhile event Sheree.”
The participant's passion for their business or business idea and for the Moree community was inspirational, and Edwina created a safe and encouraging space for them to share and practice their pitch.
Thank you Edwina, for travelling to Moree to deliver this amazing workshop.
