An elevator speech is an excellent way to convey your skills while networking and seeking employment. Prior to entering into this discussion forum, review the video (Abel, 2015) that addresses the concept of elevator speeches, the video (Crayton, 2015) about how branding applies to you personally and professionally, and the video (Ivy, 2015) about navigating the future with your personal action plan. An elevator speech is a one-minute summary of who you are, why you are qualified, and what you have to offer the organization or industry. A brief sales pitch will ensure that you are prepared to discuss your career goals whenever the opportunity presents itself. In addition to the videos listed above, review the following two Forbes articles:
After you have read the articles, develop your elevator speech. The elevator speech should focus on how you practice leadership. Record the audio to your speech using one of the following options:
Once you have completed your recording, share your elevator speech with the class by copying and pasting the link of your recording into the body of your initial post. If you are having trouble recording your elevator speech, please contact your instructor.
Listen to/view two of your peers elevator speeches and comment on how well they presented the following information: who they are, why they are qualified, and what they have to offer the organization or industry.
