Have you ever felt that you couldn’t get your story across in a short conversation? Or perhaps that you didn’t make a memorable impression in a short meeting or couldn’t convince your listener to agree to your proposal? For example, to present yourself and get a job interview.

In our helter skelter society you will have less and less time to tell your story, so you need to be prepared. An elevator pitch is a communication tool that will help you engage your listener and get your point across effectively and efficiently. 

This practical and interactive 4-hour course includes individual feedback to identify weak points and encourages the participants to stand up and make their point in a way that works.

Study commitment

Before the workshop participants should outline a half-page motivation letter for a job opening.
