We've all heard the term "Elevator Speech," and how important it is to formulate a compelling message to others in less than a minute.
Whether you're looking for a new job, trying to develop new business, promoting your company, or simply promoting yourself, it is absolutely essential to have an elevator pitch. With diminished attention span of others and the fast-paced environment that we live and work it, you need to communicate your message quickly, clearly and distinctly to someone who doesn't even know you. A great pitch or elevator speech takes planning and practice to deliver it quickly, on the spot and under pressure.
I have a WONDERFUL tool that I recommend to my coaching clients to help them in the formulation of a compelling elevator pitch. The tools helps give structure to the thought process of developing a clear and memorable elevator speech.
The tool is offered from free by the Harvard Business School Alumni Career Services organization and is available TO ALL OF US for use.
