Telling Your Story: Evolving past the Elevator Pitch


Most of us hate being asked what we do. It feels like we're being sized up by whoever asked the question and we're never sure what we're supposed to day. Here's the deal - saying the right thing has never been the issue - it has to do with what you believe about yourself and the person asking the question. If you reframe the experience of being asked, "So..what do you do?" you can turn any networking conversation into a moment of true connection for both parties.

In this session we'll:

  • Find out what we're really afraid of when people ask us what we do
  • Identify a meaningful purpose in the work we do
  • Understand what's really behind the question, "So...what do you do?"
  • Build a better response to the question, "What do you do?" and practice as a group

Leading this Workshop will be Reagan Pugh



Reagan delivers workshops and keynote speeches on personal effectiveness and leadership development around the country under the banner of Assemble, the consultancy he co-founded in 2016.

Before Assemble he guided initiatives on storytelling, culture, and leadership development at companies like Nike, Pepsico, Western Digital, and Kimberly Clark as Chief Storyteller with the innovation consulting firm, Kalypso. Reagan has designed leadership courses for Texas State University, Trinity University, and Angelo State University, and as a Teach for America corps member on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota taught high school English and launched a theater program. In the program’s inaugural year he led the school to win the state one-act play competition for the first time in school history.

Reagan is invested in the work of the Epilepsy Foundation, occasionally performs improv around Austin, and probably knows more about Batman than you do.
