Nia Enterprises, LLC., Mid-West 2001 (0:43) Alumna Cheryl Mayberry emphasizes her main point with an image and a new example. What you can't see in this example is the photograph Mayberrry used for her slide—a Wrigley doublemint twins ad for the Williams sisters. She uses this example to emphasize the timing and market opportunity for reaching African Americans.
ODAC, Inc., New England 2000 (1:09) Springboard Alumna Caroline Oberg is unorthodox. She surprises her audience by jumping off the stage in high heels and gets their attention by physically moving closer, emphasizing her passion and making a lasting impression.
Buzz Notes, Inc., Silicon Valley 2001 (0:58) In another unorthodox approach, Alumna Harriett Peterson speaks directly to 47 investors whom she has studied. She warmly, but assertively, confronts them and tells them, "You should have ME in your portfolio." Her audience spontaneously applauds.
Secure Works, LLC., Mid-Atlantic 2000 (0:23) Springboard Alumna Joan Wilbanks confidently asserts that they will hear about the problem and without a doubt, Secure Works will be the answer. |
