Elevator Pitch No.3

https://youtu.be/Y28w-5VvRZU


Reflection: 

Some of the feedback I received from my last elevator pitch was to focus on controlling my hand movements and gestures. I noticed that I tend to do too much hand movements when I talk because it is my way of communicating my points to others. One tip that I received from a fellow classmate is to get into the habit of standing still and only adding certain gestures when it will add to my presentation. They said to not worry about looking too stiff because my body will naturally move when I talk. 

Because this was the only feedback I had received and knew this was something I had to work on beforehand, I was not surprised by the feedback I had gotten. I definitely appreciated  the tips I had received and focused on controlling my hand movements in this last pitch. I was shocked at how quickly I was able to do this pitch because it was my third time doing it and I was able to do it in exactly 90 seconds. I did not have to take any retakes or think about what I was going to say because I have been practicing the pitch for weeks now. Everything came out smoothly and I knew how to get my idea across without any issues.

    Hey Ilana, I think you did an amazing job with it. Your voice is very confident and strong and your composure was perfect. I like that you got the best you could out of the criticism and you applied it directly into your elevator pitch. It is so cool seeing this getting better and better every time they are done. Good luck from now and onward with your business plan. Its pretty cool.

My Secret Sauce

1.      I am a very introspective person that is consistently analyzing my own thoughts and actions. I think this is my most favorable and important quality because it allows me to be aware of the things that are affecting me emotionally and improve upon those feelings. If there is something that is bothering me, I always take the time to figure out the reason behind my emotions and determine if it should bother me to that extent. I am also an independent individual that knows how to handle my own decisions by myself and not wait for other people to make those decisions for me. Although I will listen to the people who truly care about me, I typically do not let my friends or even my family influence my decisions because I am one to want to make the judgement myself.  I think being able to stand on my own and not get swayed into what others are saying or doing gives me the opportunity to know myself and the things I value. I am an honest person that will...

13A- Reading Reflection

Coco Chanel  Lisa Chaney 1.      I was surprised by Coco Chanel’s boldness in her fashion designs during the 20 th century. She introduced a more progressive style and influenced women to feel more liberating in the clothes they wore. Chanel’s rebellious approach contributed to the idea that women were more than just housewives and were just as capable as men to be assimilated into a working society. I really admired Coco Chanel’s fearlessness in introducing fashion as a unique empowerment for women and men. She defied the generally accepted clothing of the 20 th century by making designs that were wearable for both genders. During that time, women were expected to look pretty and delicate while men were intended to appear to be masculine and strong. However, Chanel wanted to change this fashion concept in society by creating designs that would highlight the elegance and powerfulness of women. The thing I least admired about the famed design...

If I were to start my business, this would impact my personal life because I would be investing my time and money in trying to hire the right people for the job and developing a project that would be beneficially impactful for the people in the city.

Once the driver parks into their spot, they download the Mark n’Park in which they can scan or manually input their parking spot’s information which also reduces the time they spend ...
