Every few years, I like to revisit my elevator pitch. Not just for higher ups and execs in the organization who didn't even know we offered Library Services, but for people in the community who've never heard of a medical librarian. Of course, their first thought is that we just trundle a book cart around to patients with fiction and magazines. Ha!
Use this formula to develop your elevator speech:
I am _______
I help ______
Do _______
So they can _________
Here's mine at present:
I am a medical librarian. I help doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals save time finding the best evidence and info they need to take care of their patients.
What's your elevator speech? Leave a comment to share yours ...
How relevant is this concept anymore in a world of quick AI answers?
Is there a need to add something to address that new reality?
