Wednesday April 19, 2017 from 6:00 to 7:30PM.
About the Event:
One of the most important moments during a career is the
ability to sell yourself. It requires self-confidence, practice, and a clear understanding of how you are trying to present yourself. The goal of this session is to learn how to construct an elevator pitch and frame the conversation based on the value
of your audience. We will start the session by focusing on overall public speaking tips, the value of the elevator pitch, and then having individuals develop their own pitches to test out with partners and the group.
