Christina Canters, Director, The C Method
Topic:How to Pitch Yourself Better
An effective personal pitch is a powerful tool for marketing yourself, finding new opportunities and building strong relationships. Yet, many of us don’t give much thought to how we introduce ourselves -- or we downplay our achievements and abilities. In this session, Christina Canters will take you through her simple step-by-step process for creating an effective personal pitch that you can use at work and networking events.
You’ll discover how to demonstrate your value in a way that feels good, how to easily explain technical terms, how to clearly articulate your role and your company’s work to any audience, and how to help others refer opportunities to you. As a result, you’ll feel more confident going into networking situations, you’ll strengthen your personal brand, and increase your professional presence and credibility.
