From Shark Tank to Homeless to Fortune 500's Secret Weapon, with Precious "Killer Pitchmaster" Williams

Ever wondered how a 13-time national elevator pitch champion crafted her art? On the latest episode of Crown Yourself, I had the honor of speaking with the "Killer Pitch Master" herself, Precious Williams. Pulling back the curtains to her journey, from launching Curvy Girls Lingerie, and pitching it to ABC's "Shark Tank," to homelessness, addiction, and bouncing back to becoming multiple Fortune 500 companies' secret weapon as a top corporate sales trainer, to #slay the competition...and her demons. Precious dives into the nitty-gritty of effective communication and how the right words can change your game. Language isn't just a tool; it's the bridge that connects your ideas to the world.

She discusses the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and storytelling in business, as well as the significance of mental health awareness and empowering women. The conversation also covers the power of collaboration and the impact of supporting one another's sovereignty. Williams provides insights into her daily routines, her definition of queendom, and the concept of crowning oneself.
