22A- Elevator pitch no. 3

1) The pitch. Same as last time, 1-minute long. No Web cams. No sitting. Be dynamic! Upload the video to YouTube (as you do with all of your videos) and post the link.

2) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch. Describe what stood out to you as important, what feedback surprised you the most, what feedback you think was outright wrong or silly or amazing and inciteful. 

I did not upload my video on time. No feedback I received was completely outrageous or outright silly. People commented that they liked how I was professionally dressed and commanded the space. The feedback I found most inciteful was to strengthen my tone. I believe a firm tone strengthens your argument because it makes people really believe in what you are saying.

3) What did you change, based on the feedback?

Third time's the charm, as they say. I bet you find a few things different from the first time, including (a) it's almost memorized, (b) you're far more comfortable in front of the camera, and (c) the pitch itself is better. If this is or isn't true for you, please include this in your reflection!

The elevator pitch came a lot easier this time. I did not have to use on-screen notes to remember topics or ideas. It wasn't fully memorized but the flow of my words also came to me a lot easier. I enjoyed doing the pitch because I felt comfortable behind the camera. Doing things like this has also helped me in the real world. I feel more capable of talking in front of people or large audiences. I am also able to communicate my ideas and thoughts better.
