An Elevator Pitch is a brief (30 seconds!) way of introducing yourself, getting across a key point or two, and making a connection with someone. If you happen to bump into someone you’ve been eager to meet in an elevator, how would you introduce yourself, get your point across, and ask to stay connected—all before that person gets off the elevator! Elevator Pitches are handy to have in mind any time you’re at an event where you might meet prospective job or networking connections. You’ll discover the best practices for anticipating your audience, preparing your story, and practicing your delivery. *Important: participating in the "Professional Presentations" workshop with other of my workshops may earn you up to 1,0 ECTS.
