"What do you do for a living?"

"What is your company about?"

This is the perfect opportunity to tell your story. The infamous "Elevator Pitch" was created for just such an occasion.

An elevator pitch is a conversation starter. You typically have just 60 seconds to make an exciting, impactful and meaningful impression on whomever you come in contact with. So make them count.

Takeaways

• Be exposed to the Anti-Elevator Pitch and how it serves as an invitation for further conversation
• Start to think of yourself as a “brand” and leverage that to your advantage
• Learn everything that needs to be in your elevator pitch and everything that doesn’t
• Create the building blocks of your own pitch – starting with communicating from a place of “WHY” and culminating in the unique qualities that can make you stand out
• “Hack” the elevator pitch at critical points to create a cohesive story about you and how you make a client or a hiring manager the hero in his or her own story.
