Introducing yourself with confidence takes practice, but it can be a game-changer.
Whether networking or just chatting, a well-crafted intro or elevator pitch can open doors.
But why do elevator pitches often feel so awkward?
I used to dread introductions. I was more comfortable asking questions than talking about myself. I'd either joke around or ramble, and it always felt off.
Everything changed when I learned how to create an elevator pitch that felt authentic to me. I realized it wasn’t about selling myself—it was about connecting with others.
Here’s how I crafted an elevator pitch that sounds like me, not a sales pitch. With some practice, you'll feel confident answering, "What do you do?" without hesitation.
