Even in situations where a full elevator speech isn’t necessary or desirable, just knowing the separate elements of your elevator speech will help you to answer sudden and unexpected questions.In this interactive presentation, Dr. Brittany Parker Kerrigan, PhD, will explain what elevator speeches are (and are not). She'll go through the elements of elevator speeches, tips for audience engagement, helpful components, and finally presentation tips.
