Course Description
Personal Branding. Imagine delivering an elevator pitch to an executive who holds the future to your dreams, and the person says "sounds interesting, please call my office and schedule a meeting. I'd like to talk to you in more depth about this idea." Wouldn't it be great to know that you can entice anyone into wanting a meeting with you after just a 30 second conversation? Nothing will enhance your personal branding as much as the ability to communicate an elevator pitch in a concise and compelling manner.
In this How to Deliver an Elevator Pitch course you will learn the following:
* How to craft a tight, focused elevator pitch
* How to rehearse on video
* How to appear confident and relaxed
* How to make sure your message is interesting and memorable
*How to demonstrate excellent personal branding
This personal branding course is delivered primarily through spoken lectures. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.
The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.
This personal branding course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.
TJ Walker has been coaching and training people on their presentation skills for 30 years. Now, through the power of Udemy's online platform, he is able to give you the same high quality training that he gives in person to CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and Presidents of countries. Only you can now receive the training at a tiny fraction of the normal fee for in-person training.
How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future presentations in your life.
You can begin improving your presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your presentation skills are not up to high standards. Please enroll today.

What others say about this personal branding course:
"5 Stars! Despite having been a speaker for many years and taken several colleges, online and private lessons, I found myself drawn to listen to TJ Walker, and I am thrilled to learn from this master of communications! He makes every other course seem like a prologue and I know I am going to be the confident, well prepared speaker that I always sought to become. The magnitude of material and the pieces of golden wisdom are so practical to today's environment. It hardly seems possible that a teacher of this quality would be so giving and available to the average person like myself, when he is qualified to coach Kings and Dignitaries. Only one-third through the course and already my Charity fundraising efforts are more effective because I have gained skills to improve my communication, both my message and my delivery. The clarity of TJ Walker's delivery demonstrates his message in action. Follow him on Facebook and YouTube for greater depth if you find yourself improving from absorbing his work as I have. Do the assignments promptly and you will improve with each session. Worth the investment of time and that is what I value most, TJ WALKER delivered value with each session, and made the most of my time." Debbie Tudor

Lessons were good, a lot of "polish yourself" encouraging mixed with common sense. You kept it clean and easy to follow. I would like to see you working with someone in the future to give examples of how to critique. We have to watch our own recordings but many people tend to be their harshest critic and need a realistic guideline of points to focus on. I feel like your classes would benefit from some mock breakdowns. For example: vid 1 - Here's a rough one. Here's why and how to improve. vid 2 - follow up showing examples of improvement and point out the why/how, highlighting things like where to look/body language and even a mistake and how to recover so someone could actively see what it looks like. Keep up the good work, I appreciate the time you've taken to create these lessons.

This course is good, it gives you many tips to improve your pitch, thanks for that. But what I missed, what I expected, was more examples of pitches given by you or someone else and commenting what was wrong, what was right, what to change, etc, not me doing the pitch.

Since I am studying my VA (Virtual Assistant) class This course is very helpful and matches my need plus this is very informative and insightful. thank you in millions

This was an wonderful course and I gained a lot of insight from it. I gave it a 4 1/2 star rating only because as excellent as the instructor's elevator pitch is I wanted more examples and more exercises or insights to build my own pitch. He directs us to google and youtube "elevator pitches" to find examples and I came across "How to create an elevator pitch' videos more so. Otherwise, a worthwhile course to take and learn a lot about the subject from a pro. Thank you!

One of the best psych instructors I have ever known. He teaches as if you are right there with even though you are watching through clips.

Create an efficient elevator pitch give more work that you can imagine, quickly you will discover that is a mixture of different communication disciplines. TJ Walker made an excellent and complete work here to give you some tools to develop the presentation of your idea and make a lot of important considerations to have success. Thank you TJ.
By Nicolae Florea on 5/16/2016
well, he pitch very well and makes me curious enough to see the next part of the course. There are few tips I always remember. To prepare based on the circumstances, and not looking to give facts, but to summarize and simplify my pitch.

Thanks for sharing your instruction and excellent insights for an elevator pitch. This is a tool we all need to perfect and keep handy. I have been using them for 20 years and I continue to need improvement. Thanks - I will be looking at your other courses. One thing: I would love to see a one page summary directed just for this course. I love the voluminous texts you provided .. but a focus for this course would be great .. thanks again

Good practical advice on how to deliver and elevator pitch with exercises that you can immediately apply. The content seems identical to the "how to introducte yourself course". Nonetheless, still valuable use of time.
