Impact Storytelling Workshop: Perfect Your Elevator Pitch

Join us for coffee, breakfast, and an interactive workshop to improve the way you communicate the impact your organization is creating. You'll learn strategies for effectively grabbing the attention of your target audience and get personalized support and feedback from Deloitte consultants while you develop (and practice) your elevator pitch!

• Live practice: deliver your elevator pitch and receive direct feedback from consultants and peers

• A clear assessment of key next steps to craft the strongest version of your pitch

In just a few hours, you’ll walk away with an updated story, insights on key next steps to take and an increased confidence that your story can get you the resources you need to grow. We hope that by hosting this workshop in-person you will have the opportunity to network and develop authentic community connections with other attendees!
