This session was very informative. As when building an elevator pitch, there’s level to make it dynamic. You have to follow through after the pitch so you can complete the goal.

extremely valuable, love the connections tips that you gave us. I will only include some vocab or examples of things that you can say in the package so people can refer to it in the future. Example: you gave an example of what words you can say exactly to ask to be introduce to other connections, I think an example in the printed copy too would be great to refer in the future!

The session was pretty inspirational based with a few actionable steps you can take to learn how to network with people. I think it could be a good resource if you’re willing to put your own effort into making things happen, which is true about many things, but especially something of this category.

Elevator passion pitch that can lead to a bigger connection with someone. I think the quick pitch is a good conversation started and will help connect with other individuals
