How To Introduce Yourself-Spell Names If you have a complicated or original last name then simply start by spelling it at the presentation or a meeting. It will help to break the first ice and provides a nice start to the conversation. This is particularly useful for rare names or for those who are difficult to pronounce. Most of them will try to pronounce the name correctly which means you already have an informative dialogue. ● ● ● ●
How To Introduce Yourself-Address Origin Tell your counterpart a little bit more about yourself, for example where you come from when you introduce yourself.

How To Introduce Yourself Referencing Pop Culture Depending on the occasion, suitable similarities can also be found in lifestyle or pop culture. You can use your name for comparison.

How To Introduce Yourself Use a T-shirt Confess nicknames This is certainly not for formal occasions but for theme parties, in Bars or casual meetings. Modern businessmen and Twitterati use the T-shirt to print their profile names, their URLs including a logo or a self-explanatory saying to establish a self-confident entry. It is, of course, more charming when the curiosity of your counterpart is aroused and the other person speaks about the T-shirt. ● Nickname proves self-irony and lowers barriers because it provides an opportunity to share a laugh. The person you are talking to might have a bizarre nickname too but don’t stretch it if the person seems uninterested in sharing their nickname. ● ● ● ●
How To Introduce Yourself Ask a Question This does not mean that you ask your counterpart about his or her name.

The Don’ts of How To Introduce Yourself Exaggerated self-adulation Endless monologues You should tell who you are and what you do, but that’s enough for a start. Instead, allow the other person to speak or to ask questions. If you fall into a long monologue, it seems more like you don’t need a conversation partner, just a listener who nods silently. ● Pride in your accomplishments is perfectly fine, but don’t overwhelm yourself with praise as you introduce yourself. It quickly seems imaginary and anything but likable. ● ● ● ●
The Don’ts of How To Introduce Yourself Faked interest Your interest in your conversational counterpart is always an action of your own imagination. An honest interest is important which is appropriate and should also be displayed. Playing interested when you are not, on the other hand, is hypocrisy and is usually exposed immediately. ● ● ●
