What impression do you want to give when you walk into a room (or pop up on a Zoom screen)? How do you explain the value you provide when introducing yourself? Can you spontaneously give an elevator pitch about your company, your role or a cause that’s important to you? What does your body language communicate to others when you’re in a presentation or meeting?
