Re: What's your FIRST Elevator Pitch?
Yesterday's event at the White House shows the value of speech writers and also, people who do research and preparation so that the event goes well. The more prepared the team is (and not just one or two - the whole team), armed with a brief elevator pitch, information regarding the team's history, and some thoughts of why the program is valuable to them as individuals, as a team, and as a community - is a strong asset for the team in any setting or situation. There is a photo that I've seen that shows the teams and guests sitting and listening while President Obama is speaking and the robot is being demonstrated. They are listening, attentive, and focused. Their professional conduct speaks well for the teams and the program, long after the event is over.
