I work on the top floor of my building and ride with executives at least once every day. Everyone should have an elevator pitch but even if you don't, be conscious of how you act and behave because others are probably watching! Jason– I agree!

I would only add that in addition to being an important way of being able to present yourself, going through the drill of creating an elevator speech is an effective way to force you to examine and come to an understanding of how you add value.
