There are many facets to perfecting your personal brand but in this course, we look specifically at making a good first impression via:
Creating your elevator pitch
Crafting your professional story
Presenting your personal business card
Your elevator pitch is your mini sales pitch that you use to present yourself to another person in a short time frame… mere seconds to be exact! Your message needs to be concise yet contain all the elements you would like to communicate. Having a clear structure can help with this goal. We cover the exact structure in our course.
Not every encounter will be an elevator ride. In your professional life, you will spend a lot of time engaging with others and in circumstances that may feel uncomfortable to you, e.g. networking events. Even if you have the ‘gift of the gab’, in situations where you will be engaging for longer than a few seconds, it becomes important to know how to present your value. We give you tips to create your professional story for success.
