Details and Outcomes
The thing about opportunity is that it usually comes knocking when you are busy making other plans. It is a good idea to have something that you can pull out at the right time, to leverage a prepared pitch instead of wasting precious minutes, so that you don’t miss out when that opportunity presents itself without warning. You will need elevator pitches for various occasions - from something as simple as telling someone about yourself to pitching your dream idea to investors. Keep them available and handy.
The aim of the Communication Series is to help you build compelling professional profiles - across platforms and opportunities; to ensure confident and persuasive outreach and public representations by you; and to create a lasting synergy between these two goals. All this in an interactive and participative format, through which we share examples, checklists and standout ideas to help you with your resumes, cover letters, basic business writing, public speaking and placement preparation, among other things.
