SmartUps - July Thursday, July 25 from 5:00 - 7:30 PM Broadway Commerce Center, Atrium
Good ideas are a dime a dozen but your personality is more valuable than money. The July SmartUps brings you an interactive program that aims to help you sell yourself right alongside your good idea.
Caroline Cummings, VP of Business Development at Palo Alto Software, one of Eugene’s most authentic self-promoters and co-founder/CEO of two tech startups where she raised nearly $1M will share common myths about self-promotion that will positively affect your ability to communicate the value you bring to the table.
Take these self-promo tips into a playful state and boost your speaking confidence through a little bit of improv. During the event we’ll get into small groups, let go of the need for perfection, take very little time to develop a fast pitch, deliver that pitch, and just play regardless of the outcome.
