I know what you say about the "...Thanks Laurie. I know what you say about the "pitch." It seems "everyone" says it. I get it, but I don't. I know the "world" wants to shorter bites, but there is something about that that bothers me, too. <br /><br />I am not bothered just for the "heck" of it, and not because it is "hard." Something about it just does not feel right to me. I wish I understood better why, but I haven't gotten there yet.<br /><br />I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and appreciate your support. :) I hope I get to speak, too!A New Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659893023568144304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637984090891248483.post-70393249637041267662013-08-19T14:56:22.993-04:002013-08-19T14:56:22.993-04:00Wow, Elizabeth, this sounds like an exciting oppor...Wow, Elizabeth, this sounds like an exciting opportunity! <br /><br />I think your submission looks really appealing and concise. It seems very clear in what your talk will be about, and how it will help your audience. <br /><br />This may not have been easy for you - distilling your talk into a short "pitch" or summary, but I think it's good practice. We need to be able to share our service, product, or speech in a one-or two sentence "sound bite." Writers call it an elevator pitch -- and I think the world is increasingly wanting short, quick summaries of stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, I think your application looks great! I hope you get to speak at this conference :-) <br /><br />Stay true to you,<br />LaurieLaurie Pawlik-Kienlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282276071045319746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637984090891248483.post-35227198813467021742013-08-19T14:56:03.220-04:002013-08-19T14:56:03.220-04:00Thanks Miriam!
