Presentation Tip: 3 Steps To Easily Introduce Yourself

[ashleyrankin]

I'm a student at Purdue, and we have to give an elevator pitch. This is the only video out of the 10+ I've watched that actually provides the guidance I was looking for. Thank you!

In all honesty, as someone who's a native English speaker, this advice is still incredibly helpful. I've been looking for advice on an introduction presentation for the start of my PhD course. While I've done plenty of presentations before, both about a subject in my degree and having to talk about myself when I was in the process of joining the Army, I've never done one like this: 2 slides, one on my background, and one on what I hope to get from my course, and it should be five minutes long. I've been stumped for a week on how to do it, but after watching this, I've got a clear idea on what I want to do and how to do it,

They say that the best teachers are the ones who can simplify something in a way that everyone can understand it, without losing any of it's effectiveness. I think you've definitely got that gift. Thanks for the help!

This amazing video was a kind gift for my vacations, since I have studied Public Speeking, your 3 steps - Name & Co + Value/Specialty + Who/"Even if" - are fantastic tools for help anyone. Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge, Carl Kwan!

All the way through 2020, so simple, yet so impactful! The intro I was using before wasn't as direct and to the point. 3 simple steps just changed my life and the way I introduce myself in presentations. This may be easy for some, but was never easy for me because I don't like to talk about myself. Thank you so very much for sharing this awesome information with the world!

Thanks for your question. Everybody gets nervous. It's completely normal. You need to practice until it feels like you're telling your friends a story. It's not easy and it takes time. Do some breathing exercises beforehand. Try to practice with a video camera. Think about the real reason why you're nervous. Sometimes it's from childhood fears or rejection. Most of all, prepare well and do your best. Then get feedback and do it better each time.

Good luck!

I'm a native English speaker...it's the only language I do speak. This is immensely helpful as I'm preparing an intro video for my grad school application. Thank you so much for this! It's the most helpful video that I've seen to start to prep with

Hi Carl excellent presentation. My example follows your advises. "I am Wil Pc, I came from a world class manufacturing company. I support my team-work to over pass the company goals into the challenger, collaborative and recognition atmosphere no matter if we have an adverse periods or time of changes...."

[CarlKwan]

Thanks for your message. First, prepare well in advance and know your topic inside out. Also, be sure your topic fits with what the audience would want to hear. Next, practice so you can give the presentation without any visual aids. And remember it's actually not true that you've never spoken in front of people in your life... you've done it countless times with family, friends and colleagues. Your presentation should be as natural as those experiences you've already had. Good luck.

[CarlKwan]
