Tips We Love
Writing Your Elevator Speech
Written by Diane Tasaka - May 30, 2012

Imagine your audience knows little about your organization and the issues you care about, but you need to convince them to take action.   

•    Create an opening sentence that will grab the listener's attention and leave them wanting more information.
•    Use simple language so you can say it easily and be understood. 
•    Make it vivid.  Use an example or memorable story.
•    Infuse it with your passion.

*Namaste is a common greeting in India. It is a combination of the two Sanskrit words: name (to bow) and te (you). When spoken to another person it is usually with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards in front of the chest. Bow to you.
