How Effective is Your Elevator Pitch? Believe, Inspire, Grow to Host Business Workshop

Believe, Inspire, Grow (B.I.G.) Ridgefield will host a Guppy Tank workshop for women in business at Sagi Cucina Italiana , 23 ½ Catoonah Street at noon on Wednesday, February 5th.

This Guppy Tank workshop will invite each person to give their "business pitch" to the group. Then, everyone in the audience will give anonymous, constructive, written feedback on each presenter's effectiveness. “We did this once before and it was amazing so we are doing it again by request!” says pod founder Amy Polacko.

The meeting is open to women in all stages of their careers and the $15 lunch is optional.
