Pull out the two to three words that resonate with you most that describe you. Remember, when you are out there in business, you are the product and how you position this product, depends upon you.
For example, you might be an Artistic Engineer or an Articulate Organizer.
By using your two to three word statements that are your tagline and brand, create a 30-second elevator speech (pitch) where you will sell your most valuable product, you. As a result of your pitch, why would people want to engage and conduct business with you? Why would people want to hire you?
