I'd rather be the one giving the speech than the paragraph in the brochure about it

I have to write a bio to advertise a keynote speech I've agreed to deliver later in the summer.

I'm finding that coming up with more than one sentence to describe myself/my job is probably a lot harder than the speech will be itself!

Draft the speech in outline and the bio will write itself

It’s hard to “elevator pitch” yourself! I feel like I go through this every time I look at my resume. Like, who is it that I really am in the working world?

Trick is to get a group of colleagues to contribute suggested ideas.

Or describe yourself as an excessive tea drinker which is my usual trick.
