This signature presentation is based on my book, “30 Second Success: ditch the pitch and start connecting!” Clarity, confidence, compassion, and connection are vital to every conversation. Networking in-person and online presents the opportunity to share 30 second messages (you know...the dreaded elevator speech), but even the most successful professionals, consultants, and service providers struggle with what to say when presented with the opportunity to share their message. This is an interactive talk where I invite a volunteer to sit with me as we work through their 30 second message one-on-one. In our time together your audiences will learn: • The importance of your 30 second message for conversations and content • Tips for taking the fear out of public speaking • How to answer “So, what do you do?” with clarity and confidence • Connecting in a way that changes relationships and grows your business without feeling “sales-y”

Most consultants and service providers get stuck in creative mode and struggle to communicate their brilliance in a way that connects with the people they are meant to work with. They often feel like their brand message has much to say and yet it seems to be getting lost in a disconnect of too many or not the right words. In this presentation we dive into finding the core message that will amplify your brand and speak to the heart of the people you are meant to serve. In our time together your audiences will learn to: • Understand the cohesion of your brand message • Combine vision and value for deeper connections • Amplify your message to stand out in the crowd
