The Sun is in Taurus. This earthy aspect highlights the need for outdoor exploration and the power of feminine energy. Exude strength by providing shelter for the weak. Listen when others shout. Breathe deep and show kindness and love. Madame G recommends leaning into your feminine strength. You’re more powerful than you know. Your time is now. Be heard. Listen.

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have masculine grace. This comes through the firey tone in your voice. The heat in your eyes and the electricity in your touch. Others fear and adore these qualities.

Community members rallied together to showcase the power of community protection networks and empower more immigrants and people of conscience to join in the fight for sanctuaries of safety for all.

During the demonstration...

Successful elevator pitches are part prep, part improv

E-mail Print PDF
Whether it’s made on an elevator or on the ground floor, the 30- to 60-second business pitch that’s named for the place it’s often made should sound unrehearsed and authentic even if it’s the product of exhaustive thought and preparation — which it should be.

The “elevator pitch” is a concise summary of a product, service or idea that is so intriguing or compelling that the listener wants to hear more. It’s the hook that catches the attention of the potential investor, client or collaborator.

Too often, these proposals sound contrived or desperate, crammed with so much data or drama that the intended recipient can’t digest it all in the allotted time and consequently...
