“The purpose of an elevator pitch isn't to close the sale.  The goal isn't even to give a short, accurate, Wikipedia-standard description of you or your project.  And the idea of using vacuous, vague words to craft a bland mission statement is dumb.  No, the purpose of an elevator pitch is to describe a situation or solution so compelling that the person you're with wants to hear more even after the elevator ride is over.”        -- Seth Godin

About this Workshop:
Have you ever considered what makes a person or an idea compelling?  In this chaotic, over-stimulated environment, what makes people stop in their tracks, perk up their ears, and hunger for more?  If you’re interested in selling yourself, your product or your services, the art of pitching is critical.  In this workshop, I will teach you how to grab your audience’s attention so they are compelled to stay engaged and curious.  You were born to shine brightly, the trick is learning how.

 
Alexa Will Teach You:

• The Power of Your Spark:  Your purpose is the most powerful engine in your life’s work.  When you are connected to your “why”, your audience feels it before you open your mouth.

• The Brightness of Your Flame:  Your message needs to be clear and concise so your audience captures your message effortlessly.  If you make someone work too hard, they will inevitably tune you out.

• The Warmth of your Heat:  When you are connected and concise, the last element you need to add is your ability to captivate.  I will teach you techniques to project confidence and charisma. 

This Workshop is Ideal for:
Entrepreneurs who want to broaden their reach.  Looking for more clients?  Want to get on TV?  Looking to book a speaking gig? When you pitch brilliantly, opportunities happen.

About Peer to Peer Leader Alexa Fischer:
There’s nothing like a 1,000 watt presence to make you realize you either have the “it” factor…or you don’t.  Fortunately, you don’t have to be born with star qualities, you can actually buy them.  Actress Alexa Fischer has turned normal civilians into major public speakers, and wallflowers into power-brokers.  Your presence speaks before you do and Alexa knows how to turn up the volume easily and painlessly and uses her wealth of knowledge as a seasoned performer to bring mere mortals into the limelight.  The results? Less Fear. More gigs.  And maybe some fame if you’re a really dedicated student! She is a graduate of Northwestern University, B.S. in Speech, and The Yale School of Drama, M.F.A. in Acting.
