Do you know how to INTRODUCE YOURSELF?  When you’re in a meeting and the meeting leader says,  

“Let’s take a moment
to briefly introduce ourselves.
I’ll go first…”

…does your head start spinning?

• Perhaps you get tongue-tied when you’re introducing yourself?
• Maybe you get distracted by “that guy “ whose self-introduction lasts way too long (does he really think he’s that important?) 
• Perhaps you worry about missing an opportunity to mention something that you should’ve said?

Introduce Yourself: Your 3 Point Framework

 The 3 points are “Present – Past – Future.”  Please note:

• these 3 points are not in chronological order
• this is a framework, not a script

1. Present

• Establish who you are
• “My name is _____and I am_________.”
• This is your opportunity to highlight your expertise or your passion

2. Past

• Highlight your relevant past experience
• Previously I ___ (worked as…, led the…, earned my…)_”
• This is your opportunity to establish credibility

3. Future

• Ideally an immediate future statement
• “I’m looking forward to_(learning more…, kicking off…, working together…)__”
• This is your opportunity to express enthusiasm for what’s next.

THAT’S IT!

PRESENT – PAST – FUTURE. 

Please try it and let me know how it goes!
