Stepping back into professional life, whether after a career break, a pivot, or a period of caregiving, can feel overwhelming. One of the biggest challenges? Explaining who you are and what you bring to the table, especially in a short, impactful way. That’s where an Elevator Pitch comes in.

In the WorkUP | Elevator Pitch session, you will gain the tools and confidence to present yourself with clarity, authenticity, and purpose. This session acts as a foundational anchor for your return-to-work journey, helping you connect with mentors, peers, and future opportunities in a way that feels natural and powerful.

What You Will Learn

During this 75-minute workshop, you will:

Learn a framework for crafting a compelling Elevator Pitch that captures your strengths, past experience, and future goals.
Explore techniques to communicate what matters most — even if you have gaps in your resume.
Practice how to introduce yourself in networking settings, interviews, and informal conversations.
Build not just a scripted pitch, but a flexible statement that stays true to who you are today and grows with your journey.

By the end of the session, you will have crafted an initial version of your personal pitch — one that reflects both your skills and your aspirations.
