BE INFLUENTIAL – AND MAKE YOUR MESAGE MATTER
The NEW Elevator Pitch is more than just a two-minute speech—it’s a method of influential communication for the digital age.

that you could influence the people that matter most? Discover the insights of the National Elevator Pitch Champion, and watch what happens when you change your story.

SECRETS OF THE NEW ELEVATOR PITCH – WORKSHOP – IS YOUR STORY…POWERFUL AND COMPELLING?

And, not just “chit chat”—when the stakes are high, your message has to be concise, clear and compelling. Companies and organizations have used these strategies to cut through the distractions and change the conversation. What could happen within your organization— or your career—if you understood the process of influence and persuasion? How would that impact your revenues, your team, your customers…and your results?  Put your story to the test, with the national elevator pitch champion!

FINDING THE MILLENNIAL CEO

What would it mean to your organization, if you could tap into the leadership qualities inside of every member of the team? How important is it to identify and retain the best and brightest from the Millennial Generation—while still maintaining a culture of performance from Baby Boomers, Gen X and more? Understanding generational differences—and how to work effectively across all age categories—is a benchmark for high-performing companies.

Finding the Millennial CEO is a highly-interactive seminar, designed to cross those generational boundaries and create greater understanding, insight and organizational efficiency. It’s no secret that the goals and capabilities of the Millennial generation present a new set of challenges—and opportunities— to the modern organization. Creating greater understanding across all generations is the key to running an efficient culture. Are you delivering on the promise of a diverse and engaged workforce?
