The other day someone walked up to me and robotically asked me “Give me your elevator pitch.” It was very enthusiastic.
I smiled and honestly laughed a little. I am a nurse, not a saleswoman. The guy was expecting the typical ‘Let me show you the software I am selling.’ or ‘Let me walk you through the money I can make you.’ Instead, he transported me back to my scrubs and stethoscope and I looked at him and said, ‘What is your medical problem?’ He wasn’t prepared for that. I felt like I was back at the bedside.
I like sharing my passion, and my passion is helping people understand the illness, the injury, and the medicine of what is going on.
“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey
