Sister 2 Sister Magazine Meets Atlanta's own Emerlyn and Ester Boutique

The Emerlyn & Ester Boutique can pretty much be described in one word "Fabulous." A tall staircase, blinged out chandelier, and soft pink decor all accent the great fashion that can be found in the up and coming Atlanta boutique. Owned by Monyetta Shaw (the fiance of Neyo) and located in the Atlanta-Buckhead area the boutique will surely become one of Atlanta's hot fashion spots. Below are images of when Sister 2 Sister's own Jamie Foster Brown came to visit the boutique.

PR Nugget: One Minute Pitching

You have one minute to say it all. Sell yourself to anybody after watching this helpful short film, http://www.alumni.hbs.edu/careers/pitch/

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

The Art of Pitchcraft

You meet the angel investor of your dreams by chance at a cocktail party or end up in the elevator with the CEO - you have 1 minute to tell them why they need you or your idea. Go!

If you had only 60 seconds to explain yourself, your business, your goals and your passions, what would you say?

Harvard Business School started an Elevator Pitch Builder that helps you craft that perfectly succinct spiel.

When it counts, you want to be ready.
