The Art of the Elevator Pitch
Building a personal brand is a key tool that enables you to achieve your personal and professional goals. An elevator pitch is a brief, concise presentation that allows you to introduce yourself to others and strengthen your personal brand. It differentiates you from your peers and helps position you as a leader in your field – as a specialist and an authority who knows how to fill a particular niche better than anyone else.
During the course, we will introduce you to the elevator pitch that will help you to communicate your personal brand and clarify what makes you and your value proposition unique while addressing your professional objectives as well as the concerns and needs of your listener.
What you will learn:
- Familiarise yourself with the five questions an elevator pitch must answer,
- Learn how to consolidate and refine your competitive selling points and professional goals in order to establish a “personal brand” and create an effective, customised elevator pitch,
- Discover alternative applications for your elevator pitch,
- Have an opportunity to practice delivering and evaluating pitches first-hand with your classmates.
Being ready and comfortable with a solid elevator pitch will enable you to respond quickly and confidently at any time to those common unavoidable questions: “What do you do?" or “Tell me about yourself”. You will undoubtedly use your elevator pitch frequently, in everyday networking situations, interviews, and even social gatherings.
