Sharpen Your Message, Strengthen Your Impact and Stand Out in 45 Seconds.
2026-03-18 11:30 - 14:00 | Hickinbotham of Dromana, 194 Nepean Hwy, Dromana VIC 3936, Australia
Come along to our next PBN event, focused on one of the most important skills we have as business owners – your elevator pitch. You can never really stop working on it, because business changes, our positioning changes, and first impressions count. Whether it’s at a networking event, in a meeting, or in a chance conversation, how you introduce yourself matters.
This is your opportunity to refine it once again. It’s not just how you present yourself, it’s what you say first, and how you say it, that leaves a lasting impression.
