You have seven seconds to captivate someone during an introduction, how are you going to spend them? In this episode, Laura dives into the complexities of the elevator pitch and how you can maximize your impact by breaking it down into three simple parts. Listen in as Laura shares how Donald Miller of StoryBrand helped her find a new way to share her pitch and how his advice can help you too.

The three parts of a captivating elevator pitch
The three words you want anyone to say after hearing your pitch (spoiler: it’s not I Love You)
Why you should avoid jargon at all costs 
How ad-libbing causes you to lose impact
