I have been put on the elevator spot more than a few times---and I always walk away saying I should have said this or that. I try to have a personal response ready filled mostly with how others have touched my life. - Example: my own father never gave up even when faced with a debilitating disease, and he will always be an example to rise above. #5 ---serve at a food kitchen--don't just pour milk---ask them about their day. Then go home and have a glass of humility. OK—#4) First–I need to be the one asking the question-(great question by the way) –and I need to listen more.

#5 —serve at a food kitchen–don’t just pour milk—ask them about their day. Then go home and have a glass of humility.

I especially like the elevator pitch preparation idea. Many people are uncomfortable and unsure when asked about their profession, which should usually be a pretty easy answer. When asked unexpectedly about their personal lives, most people can offer very little in the way of a response. Engaging people throughout our daily routines is a great way to uncover new opportunities. Some good points in your list. I especially like the elevator pitch preparation idea.
