An elevator pitch is a clear, brief message, typically about 30 seconds: the time of a typical elevator ride. An elevator pitch is approximately 80 to 90 words, or 8 to 10 short sentences.

Why is an elevator pitch important?

First impressions matter and research show that these are formed within seconds of the first encounter.

The goal of this two-module workshop is to provide IAHPC members a tool to make the most of anticipated and unexpected opportunities to relay a compelling message about palliative care. This elevator pitch workshop prepares you to effectively share information with others, no matter how brief the opportunity.

Learning objectives: By the end of the workshop participants will be able to:

1. Define the concept, purpose, and format for a palliative care elevator pitch.
2. Develop a personalized palliative care elevator pitch.
3. Present their palliative care elevator pitch effectively.

An internal committee will select twelve IAHPC members in good standing who respond to this call and meet the following criteria:

• Have good English speaking and writing skills
• Can access a high-speed internet connection
