CEO Talks special guest Paula Calise
Paula Calise is the founder and principal of an executive recruiting firm called Linked Executive Search in Dallas. Author and speaker, she is known for her professional branding methodology called "The Art of Hello," which aims to help new and experienced professionals introduce themselves in a memorable way that grabs attention. Calise has spoken at various events, including the CSU Executive MBA Distinguished Speaker Series, where she shared insights on the importance of creating a distinct one-line introduction and the significance of a well-crafted professional brand promise. Her expertise in this area has made her a sought-after speaker and mentor for professionals aiming to enhance their personal branding and networking skills.
"Listening to the mass numebr of professional introductions that I have over more than 15 years as a recruiter drove me to look for a solution. I conducted research on professional introductions and surfaced only the worn out and old fashioned elevator speech o the 30 second Drill. Both similar techniques just don’t work to make a person memorable. So, I crafted The Art of Hello. This has, by the hundreds of people that have reported back to me become the technique of choice that allows professionals to introduce themselves in such a way that they will be remembered in a noisy world."
It is a powerful way to frame your professional image and for others to recognize you and act as your advocate. Once scripted and perfected, your Art of Hello introduction is a durable asset. It is useful for emerging professionals, for senior leaders, for business owners, for those seeking positions on boards, and job seekers. A well-conceived Art of Hello introduction is the old-fashioned elevator pitch polished up to a professional level with a memorable impact. It differentiates you from others. So simple to recognize when done well, and so hard to make one your own. Paula provides the background, tips and rules and a three-step method that results in you having a professional brand introduction of your own to use, that day. It’s called The Art of Hello.
In this session, you will learn how to address obstacles in your career path.
