This is an absolutely wonderful website of lectures by renown professors in many well-respected universities. Each lecture runs about 45 minutes - this is really a gold mine for anyone who loves learning for the sake of learning - there are some wonderful topics! Enjoy!
I found this short article about the importance of the elevator pitch. It demonstrates how much of an impact can be made with a strong and passionate message.
Q: Steve - I go to a lot of networking and socializing events for my business. Some are good and some are not, but eventually I drum up business. My problem: I feel like a robot sometimes, saying who I am and what I do over and over. How can I spice it up? -- Helen
A: Your question reminds me of a time about five years ago when I was just starting out as a public speaker. At that time I had the credentials to be successful (books, columns and so forth), and I certainly marketed myself to meeting planners. But my speaking gigs were few and far between.
And then it happened. I met Teddy Roosevelt, and he changed my life.
You see, one day I was lamenting my lack of progress in my nascent speaking career to a fellow speaker. A rotund gentleman who would dress up as Roosevelt, our 26th president, and share T.R.'s ideals to business and civic groups, he had plenty of engagements. I asked him to tell me his secret.
"What is it you talk about Steve?" he asked.
"Oh, small business success, basically," I replied.
Pregnant pause. "Hmmm," he finally responded.
So I asked, "Well, what is it you talk about?" "Me?" he answered excitedly, "I share with groups the values and ideals of Teddy Roosevelt and show them how they can use those values to make a difference in their world. By the time I'm done, they are so excited and so committed to the idea of making a difference at home and at work that I usually get a standing ovation."
Now, if you were going to hire a speaker, and the choice was between animated Teddy and boring me, whom would you choose?
I knew the answer, and it wasn't pretty. "Steve," he said, "If you want to succeed in this business, you need an elevator pitch." Of course he was right. I created one soon thereafter, and I must say, it absolutely, totally, changed my speaking career.
An elevator pitch is a brief statement about who you are, what your business is, and why it is special. The idea is this: If you were in an elevator with a potential business investor and you had only 30 seconds or an elevator ride to make a memorable impression, what is it that you could say to make an impact?
We are all asked, from time to time, what exactly it is that we do. Sometimes it's at a cocktail party or a business meeting. Having a sharp, intriguing statement ready makes the difference between being remembered and being forgotten. You never know which simple conversation may lead to that big deal, and I say that from experience.
So I think it is a good exercise for anyone in business to create their own elevator pitch. Here's how to create yours:
1. Figure out what is unique about what you do
The whole idea behind a great elevator pitch is to intrigue someone. It's an ice-breaker and a marketing pitch — all rolled into one.
Your elevator pitch must have a hook. "I own a flower shop downtown" doesn't hold a candle to "I'm a specialty florist who deals in rare, South American tropical flowers that bloom in the winter."
2. Make it exciting
A superior elevator pitch increases your heart rate. It speaks to who you really are and what excites you about your business. It has integrity. What is it about your business that really motivates you? Incorporate that.
In these days of a challenging economy, and concern about instability around the world, more and more people are walking around feeling anxious and having panic attacks. In this practical, interactive workshop participants will learn easy-to-use techniques for maintaining a sense of calm in stressful times.
Please alert your colleagues, friends, family, anyone who you think would benefit by attending. Scroll down for more information.
In today’s tough times, most people are living with some sort of anxiety.
Welcome to the World of Calm
This interactive workshop teaches you to: • Respond immediately to the early signs of anxiety and panic attacks • Experience relaxation and serenity instead of stress • Attain a greater sense of vitality • Practice self-release techniques to become calm
You will leave equipped with five practical tools for maintaining a consistent sense of calm.
