We live in a pretty unforgiving world: According to research, people will form a solid impression of who you are within the first seven seconds of meeting you, and in less than a second they can start to determine traits like trustworthiness. The best way to guarantee a good first impression? A tried-and-tested elevator pitch.

Whether you realize it or not, you’ve given someone an elevator pitch about yourself at some point in your career. Or maybe even on a date. But if you’re not intentional about it, you’re missing out on opportunities.

A solid elevator pitch is key for networking, pitching yourself or your business, and speaking confidently about yourself in social situations. So in today’s episode, we’re tackling the best practices you need to capture your best self, and pitch what you do with confidence in any networking situation.
