SELF-STUDY

How to Introduce Yourself

It‘s clear that people quickly form strong opinions based on first impressions, and that a well-crafted, strong, self-

12

introduction is a critical part of making a good first impression. Whether you are in a classroom or a conference room - or even online - the ability to effectively introduce yourself is a critically important communication skill.

1.First, if possible, all introductions should start with the name of the other person. In person, it‘s tempting to start with your own name, but if you know the name of the other person, use his name first. In a group setting, you can just say: ¨Hi, everyone! Once you‘ve said your greeting, then you should say your name. In fact, in a professional setting, it‘s important to say your name twice. It‘s also a good habit to slow down and say your name clearly. Notice, you‘ll want to say the name of the other person twice as well. That will help you to remember her name and it shows your interest in her.

2.As you are saying these initial words, remember that the majority of your impact will come from your tone of voice and body language. Of course, with all introductions you‘ll want to communicate enthusiasm by smiling, using direct eye contact, and speaking with an upbeat, positive tone of voice. In a business setting, you‘ll likely also include a handshake. Along with a confident handshake, you‘ll also need to walk and stand with confidence. That means walking slightly faster than normal, with your shoulders back. I always like to imagine someone pouring cold water down my back because this mental image helps me to move faster and keep the right posture. Your goal is confidence but not over-confidence (that‘s just intimidating and off-putting). And remember, fresh breath is important.

3.Next, an important part of any introduction is to consider your audience. Who exactly are you introducing yourself to? What will they find interesting and compelling? What can you share that might help to quickly build common ground and help you make a connection? Again the goal is to establish common ground and

13

make a connection. It can be anything that you are both interested in. It doesn't have to be school or business related. It doesn't even have to be of great importance. Just be sure to start with "safe" obvious links and avoid controversial topics.

4.Self-introductions should be short and conversational. Share something about yourself, then ask a question that invites the other person to join the conversation.

5.When the introduction details are your choice, I recommend picking three things that you think others in the group might be able relate to. Again, the idea is to establish rapport. By choosing just three things, your introduction will be more memorable. In addition, you can expand and contract the length of your response by providing examples or details for each of your chosen three things.

12.Read the text and match the paragraphs 1-5 with the titles.

−Communicate Proper Body Language

−Be Brief and Conversational

−Build Rapport Through Common Ground

−Focus on 3 Things Only

−Use the Other Person‘s Name
