We all know how often professionals in our sector need to justify what they do and why it is important, from writing grant applications and job promotions to pitching ideas to managers or potential collaborators.
Even so, this is not an easy skill! This event was dedicated to perfecting our personal elevator pitch to call upon next time we need to communicate our value to others.
We were very grateful to have Nicole Hatherly from the Happiness Concierge who talked us through a simple framework for creating our own soundbite and provided us lots of practical feedback as we practiced our Personal Pitches with a room full of 100 women working across the health and medical research sector.
