All the World’s A Stage
Ken Fay, of NC-based KRF Creatives leads this training for anyone who wants to feel more confident and create better initial connections when delivering their :30 or :60 elevator pitch.
Are you missing your cues? We’ve all been there. That moment at a networking meeting when someone says “stand up and give us your 30 second.” Does your heart beat a little faster? Do you freeze? Or do you just go into the same script you’ve always used to get through this moment? The question is whether you’re going to present or perform.
Emmy award-winning storyteller, Ken Fay, will give an interactive presentation on presence, pacing, props, and purpose that you can integrate into your next 30 second stand up.
