I love the idea of the “elevator speech.” Boil your speech down to eight seconds.

You get into the elevator and run into someone that you want to engage. They ask you, “What are you up to?” Have an answer that takes eight seconds. Make it interesting and likely to raise questions. By the time the ride is over, they want to engage further.

I do not see many elevators these days, but it is still an excellent way to edit your thoughts down to what’s important. It’s also a way to check whether you can explain complex things simply.

“What is Applied Movement Neurology (AMN)?”

A therapy system that uses feedback from your nervous system to break bad patterns and release excess tension from your body.

“What do you do at your movement workshops?”

We teach you to listen to your body and help you find simple movements you can use to improve every day.

Do you have an elevator speech?
