About the event
Tuesday Night Workshop – Don’t Miss This!
Imagine the person you’ve always wanted to work for steps onto your elevator just by chance. This is it - your golden opportunity! Nail the conversation by introducing yourself in a compelling way, and you open the door for the job of your lifetime. Freeze up and you may never get another chance like it again. So – what will you say?
Don’t have the words? Think you’ll freeze? Not after Tuesday night! Join us for a high-energy, hands-on workshop where you’ll craft (and deliver) a short, unforgettable “elevating speech” that makes decision-makers lean in and say, “We need to talk.”
You’ll leave with:
A 30-second pitch that feels natural and sounds remarkable
Immediate feedback in a supportive room of peers
Confidence to use in future networking events
No matter if you're a job-seeker or a seasoned pro, if you're looking to improve your elevator pitch skills, don't miss this event!
