Elevator Pitch No. 3

Elevator Pitch #3


Reflection: I decided to move to a better lit area and stand. The second pitch was completed in a basement but I decided to move it above ground!  Other than that, I received good feedback on the content of my pitch. I tried to add more emotion into the pitch by rehearsing hand gestures and inflection timing. Since my first pitch, I feel more comfortable recording myself on camera as well as combining emotion with facts to keep the audience interested! There are a few more sticking points on my pitch which I will work on for the future. After Pyror's mention of keeping an elevator pitch handy for future interviews, I have started to think about my "interview elevator pitch." This activity will definitely help in the future.

    Hi Orlantha,
    Amazing job on your pitch! I can see how much you've worked on it since the first pitch and how much you have improved! I think moving to a better lit area and standing made a ton of difference. And I think you did a great job adding more of yourself in your delivery. I can really sense your passion from watching your pitch and I can tell you know what you're talking about. Also, I still love the question/call to action at the end of your pitch. I think it does a great job getting people to continue thinking about your idea. Awesome job!

Reading Reflection No. 3

1)      What was the general theme or argument of the book? In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big , Scott Adams talks about how you should put yourself first in order for you to be successful. This is not a typical way of being “selfish” but rather 3 ways to make sure that you put yourself in the best position so you can be successful in what you want. He describes the 3 ways as looking after yourself by being healthy in order to put yourself in good head space by eating right, sleeping, and avoiding emotional distress. He also talks about looking after your economics which includes your job so you do not burden your family and friends. The 3 rd is look after all the other things which include your family, community, country, and world. 2)      How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? Throughout the book, Adams talks about investing in yourself in order to achieve suc...

Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

Regulatory Changes: Trump Administration ends OSHA program protecting workers from developing Silicosis (Lung disease) Source: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/10/02/766028237/workers-are-falling-ill-even-dying-after-making-kitchen-countertops I read about this repeal through an NPR list of EPA rollbacks of the Trump Administration I believe there is an opportunity to offer the same regulations of the program which start with manufacturing of the engineered stone used for kitchen counter tops. Who: I believe the customer will be there companies who build and fit these countertops (contractor companies) and also Union workers. This opportunity might be difficult to exploit because it requires companies to purchase materials from companies who manufacture a safer manufactured stone. Making an active choice to purchase downstream instead of changing the manufacturing process in all manufacturing companies like a Government regulation would. I believe there is...

Reading Reflection No. 1

For this assignment I read Miracles Happen by Mary Kay Ash 1)       As someone who has not had many interactions with Mary Kay line other than my mom bringing home Mary Kay Products when I was younger, I honestly was surprised to hear that the type of product selling had never existed before. I admired the most that this was a company based on the Golden Rule- which meant women were created equal and it was a way for them to make money outside the home. Although many startup companies at the time relied on family support, she took a large risk bringing her family into the business without knowing if it would be a success. I don’t think I would have risked my child’s career for my gain. I believe that starting the company. The reason she started her company was to battle the adversity of gender equality in the workplace and create a business where women could take sales into their own hands without any male counterparts. Her early classes were all based on...
