Crafting Your Verbal Business Card
“How do I answer the question ‘What do you do?’ so that it’s brief, memorable, authentic and engaging?”
Understandably, with complicated research this is challenging to do but well worth the effort and preparation. In this interactive workshop, participants develop an “elevator pitch” for professional networking contexts, that tells the story, captures the listener’s attention, positions the individual accurately, communicates passion for the topic and motivates the listener to want to hear more. Activities and exercises include working with a partner to “pitch” one’s research topic, identifying professional connections in the network, and sharing best practices for effective networking.
