WESOS Homewood - Flossmoor: Beyond the Elevator Speech

Your Flossmoor Chapter Leader is Erika Walker

Topic: Beyond the Elevator Speech

Join us in Flossmoor on November 11, at 6:30 pm to network and hear from our featured member speaker, Arlene Santiago.

Beyond the Elevator Pitch We’ll move past the typical 30-second pitch to uncover the stories, values, and motivations that truly connect us. Through guided prompts and small-group activities, attendees will gain deeper insight into the women in the room—who they are beyond their business cards.

Key Takeaways:

• Connections & Meaningful Insights – They’ll go beyond the typical 30-second pitch and gain a better understanding of the women in the room—who they are, what drives them, and how they can support one another.
• Clarity on Potential 1:1 Connections – By engaging in the interactive activity, they’ll identify which fellow attendees they resonate with most, making it easier to determine who they’d like to schedule a follow-up conversation with.
• A Fresh Perspective on Networking – They’ll experience a new way of connecting that feels more authentic and engaging, helping them build stronger relationships that go beyond just business transactions
