Craft Your Elevator Anti-Pitch November 8, 2011

Tuesday, November 8, 5-5:30 pm registration & networking, 5:30-7 pm program

One of the best ways to meet potential clients is through networking. Unfortunately, many either under-prepare - that is, not knowing how to relax at an event and speak about one's work compellingly - or over-prepare, with a practiced pitch that sounds contrived and forced.

This talk provides a strong framework for creating your "Anti-Pitch" - a relaxed and conversational way to speak about your work that both feels good and gets results.

Attendees can expect to:
* Learn the 5 essential steps of Conscious Communication
* Discover the 3 keys to speaking compellingly about your work
* Get powerful tips for effective nonverbal communication

You'll walk away with the clear means to speak with power, presence and a clear message that rings loud and clear with your ideal clients and customers.
