Your monthly space to practice networking, build confidence, and be known for what you do best.

When was the last time someone pitched to you and it made you actually want to get to know them?

In this solo episode of People Success Circle, I’m sharing why the traditional elevator pitch no longer works—and the simple shift that will completely change the way you introduce yourself at networking events or on LinkedIn.

For years, I coached people to create polished elevator pitches focused on selling…until I realized that modern networking isn’t about performing, impressing, or closing a deal. It’s about connection. It’s about being remembered.

That realization led me to develop the Known For Statement—a short, clear, memorable way to introduce yourself that helps people champion you in rooms you’re not in.

Known For Statement Formula:  

“I am a [job title or role] who [what you do] so they can [result or outcome].” 

Inside the episode, I walk you through:

Key Topics Discussed:

• Why old-school elevator pitches actually push people away
• The #1 mindset shift: networking is not about pitching—it’s about being remembered
• The three things your Known For Statement MUST include
• Real examples (so you can model and steal them)
• How to test whether your intro is memorable or forgettable (the “best friend test”)
• Why modern networking thrives on shared value and mutual benefit
• How a simple reframe increases confidence—especially for introverts or people who hate “selling” themselves

My goal is simple:
You should be able to walk into any room, say one sentence, and have people think…
“Oh, I know exactly who you are and who I should introduce you to.”

If you want networking to feel lighter, easier, and more authentic—this episode is your permission slip to ditch the pitch.
