What’s Your Story? Master the Art of the Elevator Pitch and Harness the Power of Short-Storytelling
Instructor: Larry Smith
“The Elevator Pitch” – most people get a sinking feeling when they think about it. “How can I possibly squeeze my entire life into 15 seconds?” The answer: you can’t. What you can do is examine who you are and what you stand for, and put it into clear, simple prose – in other words, a story that others can retell (over and over again), but that is still authentically you. Larry Smith, master of the Six-Word Memoir phenomenon, will teach you how to handle:
- the “So, tell me about yourself” (The first thing an interviewer says)
- the “So, what do you do?” (The classic cocktail party/networking event opener)
- the “So, Give me your 15-second Elevator Pitch?”
We’ll hone your story and teach you how to make it “flex” depending on the audience you’re speaking to and the stage of your career you’re in. You’ll walk out of The Hired Guns Academy able to confidently handle each of these situations with ease, and make your mark on the networking scene so that everyone will remember your name and what you do. As a bonus, everyone who attends the class will receive a copy of Larry Smith’s book, It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure.
Your Instructor: Larry Smith is the founder and editor of SMITH Magazine, the online community known for mastering the art of personal storytelling. Editor of the bestselling Six-Word Memoir book series, Larry has led storytelling workshops for audiences from the Hewlett Foundation to ESPN to second-grade classes. If you’d like to book Larry for a one-on-one coaching session, email us at academy@thehiredguns.com.
