Building your personal elevator pitch
Articulating your personal elevator pitch – for impact – requires effective strategies to establish who you are as a confident professional, embarking on your journey as a WEV Member of the ANZ Chapter of Women+ of Electric Vehicles (WEV), and what it is you stand for. This capacity-building workshop is for all WEV members and includes activities and critical principles to identify how you want to be perceived as a professional. By analysing a suite of bio models – including Alina Dini’s from Whirl, members will quickly identify effective words to influence others and sell the impact and significance of their business.
Participants will workshop, in 45 minutes, a personal pitch to best present themselves to customers, mentors, colleagues and investors – with impact.
Outcome – a 2-5 sentence ‘personal elevator pitch’ to use for introductions, demonstrating how you want to be perceived as a member. This activity will enable all WEV members to present a clear, concise and compelling pitch that increases the impact of how you, as a member are perceived.
The workshop/ pitch is the first step in the process of crafting a bio for impact.
