The world is noisier than it’s ever been. Unfortunately for those of us in Learning and Development, this often means that getting someone to recognize our value quickly is difficult.
The good news, though, is that research corroborates that having a simple way of introducing yourself can improve how you’re remembered and boost your confidence meeting new people – at the office, at a coffee shop, or even at a conference like ATD Cascadia’s event in October.
Join Roger Courville, CSP for a hands-on workshop (on a platform that supports “speed networking” to:
-
Examine what research says are critical elements
-
Identify two simple formulas for constructing a personal elevator pitch
-
Draft your pitch during the workshop
-
Practice your pitch 1-on-1 and receive feedback
-
Adjust your pitch when paired with different partners
Intended Audience:
- Anyone who wants to grow their professional network
- Anyone who wants to develop and hone their elevator pitch
- Anyone who enjoys meeting other people
- Anyone who wants to experience an interactive, engaging, dynamic learning event
