Before this course, I believed I had a good understanding of an elevator pitch. However, this course has really deepened my understanding and has given me the tools to give an effective elevator pitch. The videos, along with Maryanne’s clear and engaging explanations, have empowered me to apply these skills confidently in real-life situations.
