How do you overcome today’s short and taxed attention spans? Everyone talks. Few listen. Fewer understand.
Well, if you happen to be in the vicinity of Columbus, Ohio on April 9th, I’ve got a sure bet for you! An engaging seminar on “personal branding” given by my friend Becky Okamoto, a former operations executive at Procter & Gamble and proprietor of Evoke.pro.
Becky will be teaching how to explain what you do and the value you bring in a more concise and compelling way.
We work in an instant gratification, multi-tasking, attention-deficit environment. Some days it feels like we only have 140 characters to connect before our audience moves on. Simple, clear communication is a competitive advantage for every professional. And it starts with being able to express what you can do for your audience.
This is especially true for those of us trying to relay intelligence and strategic insight to key decision makers.
Everyone’s heard of the “elevator speech” but few know how to craft it and deliver it. In this interactive, hands-on event, Becky will show you. In a world where we typically get one shot to make that first impression, Becky will give you practical advice and know-how to get noticed and make a big impact. You won’t want to miss this session!
