Details

This event will prepare you for networking, interviews, job fairs, and meeting new people in your professional and personal lives. In each of these scenarios the first question you must answer is typically some version of:

- Who are you?
- Tell me a little bit about you.
- What is your story?
- What should I know about you?
- What do you want?

You have 30-60 seconds (the duration of a typical elevator ride) to answer the question in an authentic, informative, and inspiring way. Your elevator pitch is important when engaging, influencing, and persuading others. It is the first step in selling yourself, your ideas, and your asks. This experiential workshop will provide you a simple framework, examples, and time to start building your elevator pitch. Geoff Nyheim, former Microsoft and Amazon organization leader and current DePaul Department of Marketing Instructor and career coach, is leading this session. Contact Geoff with any questions or help needed asks.
