June 2021 Summer Digest
EDITOR'S NOTE
KALO MINA! WELCOME BACK!
June marks the end of many a chapter — and preparation to transition to a new chapter — in work, school and life. It’s a time that people tend to start thinking about taking some time off to rest and reboot so we can start fresh in the Fall. We invite you to join in reading this month’s issue of #HYPLife! As always, our goal is to educate, inspire and empower our readers.

ADVISORY VIDEOS
Refining Your Elevator Pitch (St. John’s University Summer 2021)
Our CEO was recruited to prepare a series of summer lectures as part of a pro bono Alumni Mentoring Initiative at St. John’s University. This series provides comprehensive instructions on how to prepare for special interviews, presentations, etc. in a variety of industries in the arts and sciences. The video below provides footage of the May 2021 talk on preparing and refining an Elevator Pitch (an essential tool to procure resources and more in every industry).
Recognition. This program is formed collaboratively under the joint missions of the Philo4Thought Hellenic Mentoring Initiative and the Vincentian Mission upheld by St. John’s University since its inception. We’re blessed to have this opportunity to collaborate with top SJU Alum who share our conviction to educate, inspire and empower others!
