Learn how to present yourself in a few sentences (an elevator pitch) to engage your listeners. Coaches Ruth Robbins and Win Sheffield will guide you in getting comfortable with making the answer to the invitation, “Tell me about yourself,” a strength instead of something to be resisted. You will then have the opportunity to practice with others speed-networking style. You might make some good networking contacts at the same time!
