As professionals we all deserve to be known for our achievements and to be understood for our value proposition. A well-conceived professional brand introduction is the old-fashioned elevator pitch polished up to a professional level with a memorable impact. It differentiates you from others. So simple to recognize when done well, and so hard to make one your own. Paula provides the background, tips, and rules, and a three-step method that results in you having a professional brand introduction of your own to use, that day. It’s called The Art of Hello.
