825 Basics Career PE Tip
Define Yourself
by Defining Your Introduction |
|
Is your career introduction
healthy and full of energy? Your
introduction defines you...so
exercise it! It
represents who you are and how
you see yourself. It provides a
framework for a first impression
and sets the stage for the
conversation, business
interaction or presentation to
follow.
What do you include in your
introduction?
Do you introduce yourself
with strength and energy?
What does your introduction
say about who you are and what
you value?
Does your introduction
encourage questions, grab
attention or spark interest?
Studies have shown that a first
impression is made within the
first thirty seconds to two
minutes of interaction with a
new acquaintance. Other studies
have shown that a significant
portion of the first impression
is determined by the tone of the
speaker's voice. Understand your
message, recognize your tone and
define your own image and first
impression.
What Should an Introduction
Include?
Your first AND last name.
Unless you are a famous rock
star, use your full name. It's
more professional to use both
names.
Your organization or
affiliation. Depending on the
situation, this may be a
volunteer organization, your
company name, your child's name,
etc.
Your role, function, title
or impact within your
organization. You can choose how
to define yourself and your job
title may not always be the best
way.
Examples:
Hello, I'm Tricia Berry and this
is Danielle Forget of 825 Basics.
We help students and
professionals develop healthy, fit
and full of energy careers
through powerful and engaging
workshops and career coaching.
Hi, I'm Tom Kendall. I educate
future leaders as a teacher at DEF
Elementary School.
Hi! I'm Taylor Berk, Director of
the XYZ division of LMN medical
company where I save lives daily by
making ABC.
Hello, I'm Stacey Thompson and I
work for peanuts. Actually, I
design packaging peanuts and other
packaging materials for KLM company.
Write out your introduction, practice it and define yourself by
defining your introduction.
