Tell Me About Yourself And Tell Me About Your Company

(Without Sounding Like a Resume, a Brochure, or a Human PowerPoint)
A Masterclass by Sider Road

“Tell me about yourself.”

“So… what does your company do?”

Most people answer both of them badly. Not because they’re unqualified – but because they talk about the wrong things, in the wrong order, for too long.
This masterclass teaches you how to answer both questions with clarity, confidence, and just enough personality to be remembered.

What This Masterclass Covers

You will learn:

How to talk about yourself without listing your life story
How to explain your company without sounding like your website
How to know when to lead with you vs. the business
How to adjust instantly based on who’s in front of you

Same room.

Different moments.

Two different answers.

Part 1: “Tell Me About Yourself” (The Human Version)

This is not:

Your résumé
Your job title
Your job title
Your LinkedIn headline

This is :

Why you’re relevant in the room.

We teach you how to:

Your résumé
Describe what you do without explaining how you got there
Sound confident without sounding rehearsed
Stop talking before you lose the room

If your answer currently begins with “I’ve been doing this for…” — we fix that.

Part 2: “So What Does Your Company Do?” (The Clear Version)

This is not:

A list of services
A feature dump
A mission statement

This is :

What problem disappears because your company exists.

We teach you how to:

Explain your company in plain English
Your résumé
Focus on outcomes, not offerings
Make people immediately understand why it matters
Answer follow-up questions without rambling or over-selling

If people say “Interesting…” but don’t ask more — we fix that too.

The Skill That Connects Both

People don’t remember:

They remember:

What changes because you’re involved.

Once you learn how to articulate that — both answers get easier.

Before / After (Because This Is Where It Clicks)

“Tell Me About Yourself”

Once you learn how to articulate that — both answers get easier.

Before:

“I’m a senior leader with over 15 years of experience across multiple industries focused on strategy and operations.”

After:

“I help teams get unstuck when decisions slow down and everything feels more complicated than it should be.”

“Tell Me About Your Company”

Once you learn how to articulate that — both answers get easier.

Before:

“We provide customized consulting services across leadership and organizational development.”

After:

“Most organizations know something isn’t working, but they can’t name it clearly. We help them get aligned and move forward without unnecessary friction.”

Same facts.

Much better answers.

Who This Is For

Founders

You are the company — whether you like it or not. You’ll learn when to lead with you and when to lead with the business.

Executives

Your credibility shouldn’t sound vague.

We make sure it doesn’t.

MBA Students

You know the material.

Now let’s make you sound like someone people want to work with.

How It Runs

No scripts.

No pretending this is easy when it isn’t.

Final Thought

This isn’t about being clever.

It’s about being clear — about you and about your company.

Clear answers lead to better conversations.

Better conversations lead somewhere.

Stop explaining.

Start orienting.
