Introduction

How to introduce yourself before the presentation?




Fundamental rules

 Select the desired length of time. Distributing time you can imagine in the image of Goldilocks. Everything has to be planned perfectly. Too long a performance will be a waste of audience time. Too short a performance will not give the audience the opportunity to navigate. In general, your introduction should be somewhere in 30 seconds.
This is not the time for you to rub your resume. Or get a crush on the audience with stories about the weekend.
Always remember that your audience consists of busy people. They took a break from their business to come to listen to you. Respect this time without losing it.
Decide how you want, receive and answer questions. Decide in advance and mention at the beginning of your speech about the opportunity to ask questions during your speech or at the end of it. In any case, the budget of your time should include time to answer questions. Take about 10% of your workshop time to questions.
So, in the case of your presentation lasting an hour, 10 minutes should be allocated to questions, and 45 to 50 minutes to the seminar.
For a 15-minute speech, allow 1-2 minutes for questions and 13 minutes for a speech.
Determine the purpose of your seminar. Now, before you formulate the rest of the presentation yourself, you need to define the objectives of your seminar. There are three main categories of seminars: 1) Seminar on work 2) Training seminar 3) Seminar for the purpose of persuasion. Each of these seminars has very different goals. Determine which category your seminar belongs to:
'Seminar on work. Your seminar is a conversation about work. The presentation in this case should be spectacular, qualified and professional.
Training Seminar. Your seminar is primarily for educational purposes. Then your goal is to inspire, inform and enlighten your audience.
Persuasion Workshop. Your seminar is a "call to action" or has a "commercial component". Your goal is to persuade, motivate and make friends.
Your seminar may fall into more than one category, but there must be one that is best suited. Define it and purpose. We will discuss how to use these goals to select the material for your presentation below.
Use the introduction in your workshop to make an impression by demonstrating your good preparation (focus on the demonstration, not the words).
Your entry is also the time for which your personality is assessed. No one wants to work with a conceited boaster. Thus, self-presentation is not the time, boasting and listing all the amazing things you have to do.
It is worth sharing only those amazing things related to you that are related to the seminar. But even they should be subtly introduced into your performance.
This may be the right time to talk about your family tree. You must introduce yourself, name your current place of employment / university that you have completed, and current training. If appropriate, talk about some of the past courses.
Quickly return to the topic of conversation after the mention of relatives. In the end, most of your audience already knows who you are. What is really interesting for your interviewers is what you can do for them and what your skills are. Therefore, speak to the point.
