Classic elevator speeches are 2- or 3-sentence statements that pack a punch. Today, people also refer to them as “value statements” or “soundbites.” When you have just a moment to make an important point, you must use it wisely. During this webinar, Kathy Dempsey will teach you how to speak efficiently and effectively, so you’ll be ready for situations like these:

Someone asks, "Why do libraries still matter when everything is online?"
You need to convince a stakeholder or politician to increase funding.
People ask what you do all day besides read and refill photocopy paper.
You need to talk with nonusers without becoming defensive.

Once you learn the strategy for choosing just the right words, you can write an elevator speech for every question and occasion, so you'll always be ready with the perfect comeback!
