YOUNG MCA LONDON EVENT | YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH AND PERSONAL INTRODUCTIONS
Whether you’re introducing yourself in a meeting, interviewing for a role, or participating in a networking event, the ability to introduce yourself well and articulate your value is a critically important skill for young consultants.
We are currently holding a waitlist for this event – if you would like to be placed on the waitlist please email Julie.harris@mca.org.uk.
Many struggle to ‘sell’ themselves or their ideas – not because they aren’t capable, but because they pitch in the wrong way. When the pressure is on, how do you get people to really listen to you?
Join the Young MCA for this practical, interactive session, where you will gain a simple, powerful process for structuring and conveying value. Perfect for developing your skills as a networker and as a young consultant, attendees will have the opportunity to hone their own short ‘pitch’ – whether it’s an idea, a product or indeed yourself…
This face-to-face event is kindly hosted by MCA Member firm PWC at their office in their More London Place office. There will also be a chance to network after the event.
