PRELIMINARY
1.1 BACKGROUND

Introduction Is a phrase / expression used to introduce or introduce oneself.

The expression / introduction or introduction of self is very varied. And each variation
has different functions and roles, depending on the situation and condition of the
conversation. Introduction there are many kinds such as Formal and Informal
Introductions. In Formal Introduction that usually occurs in formal situations as well as
in a forum, discussion, seminars, work meetings and more.

Moderate Informal Introductions usually occur in everyday situations in our

environment. There are no rules and regulations in it as long as it is polite.
Usually before making a conversation, a person must literally introduce himself
beforehand so that between the two parties can be connected and understand each
other.
Therefore, the author here will discuss about a material entitled "Introducing

DISCUSSION

2.1 Introducing Yourself Before Giving a Speech

1. Greet the audience and state your name. If you're giving a speech, it's
important to state your first and last name. As you say hello and give your
name, remember to speak clearly and confidently.
o Say, "Good morning, I’m RIAN SUBEKTI " or "How is everyone doing
today? My name is RIAN SUBEKTIl".

2. Share some relevant information about yourself. After you provide your
name, share why you and the speech are relevant, making sure you provide
your credibility. The sort of information you share will depend on the audience
and the subject you'll be talking about. If you're giving a speech about the
importance of eating organic foods, tell people that you're a scientist, chef, or
environmental professional. If you’re giving a speech about child development,
be sure to include that you are a child psychologist.
o Provide any other relevant information. For instance, you can provide a
brief background of your credible experience. “My name is Rian Subekti
and I am a student from a Management Faculty at Khairun University.

3. Communicate effectively. From the very start, make sure your voice is loud
enough for everyone to hear you. Avoid mumbling by enunciating your
consonants crisply. You can even ask the audience if you are speaking loudly
enough for all to hear. People will not be able to understand you or respect
what you are sharing if they cannot hear you.

4. Move your body. Stand with good posture, and move freely while you speak.
Stand up tall, move your shoulders back instead of slouching, and keep your
hands free, using them to gesture when necessary. If you don't have to stand
behind a podium, then walk around to show the crowd how comfortable you are
and to make yourself look less stiff.

2.2 Tips Other

1. Conduct mock rehearsals with colleagues and friends.

Give your presentation or speech to an unbiased friend or colleague. After is over, ask
them to write down 2-3 facts from your introduction. Look over your feedback and
determine if your key points stand out within the first 30-60 seconds of your
presentation. Was it easy for another person to recall everything you touched on? If
not, how can you make your introduction more straightforward and memorable?

2. Listen to how a friend or colleague would introduce you and take notes.

If you're struggling to figure out how to introduce yourself, ask an unbiased friend or
colleague to tell you how they would introduce you. Listen to the positive qualities,
accomplishments, and stories your friend or colleague has to say about you and see
how you can incorporate their comments into your introduction.

3. Enlist someone else to introduce you.

If you have a serious case of stage fright, your conference organizer may be able to
find someone else to introduce you. Plan ahead and ask several weeks in advance for
their assistance. Work closely with the individual who is introducing you to ensure your
introduction has a personalized touch. Look over the final copy before your
presentation to confirm everything about your background is accurate.

4. Keep it short and sweet.

Remember: your introduction shouldn't be your life story or read like an autobiography!
The best way to introduce yourself is to keep it short and succinct. Introductions that
ramble on without a definitive focus will leave your audience restless and uninterested.
Listing every accomplishment, client, and credential under your belt sounds dry, and no
one likes humble bragging. Make a list of your accomplishments and choose only the
several that you're most proud of to include in your intro. Outdated accomplishments
and client connections, no matter how impressive, should be excluded.

5. Get small audiences actively involved.

Entering a presentation and seeing a tired or uninterested audience can be anxiety

inducing. This can be especially problematic in small or informal settings, where this
technique works best. A quick way to get your audience awake and invested in your
presentation is to introduce yourself and then prompt audience members to introduce
themselves and state a question, concern, or idea related to your presentation topic.
For example: if you're delivering a presentation about customer service software, ask
your audience members to introduce themselves with their name, a fun fact, and a
situation where they've had a particularly amazing (or terrible) customer service
experience. This brings clarity and focus to your presentation topic.

6. Include only relevant details in your introduction.

The planning process is key as you determine how to introduce yourself. Printing out a
graphic organizer is a simple yet efficient way to determine if your introduction is on
point. Successful introductions are unique, thought provoking, and easy to adapt to
different types of presentations. Using a graphic organizer, like a writing web, write the
title and description of the presentation you're giving in the center circle; then, use the
smaller circles to list personal details and accomplishments relevant only to your
presentation topic. For example: even if you work with an important company, if that
company's work isn't relevant to your presentation topic, exclude it. Then, brainstorm
how you can transform your planner into engaging points.

7. Add additional details and credentials in your handouts.

Accomplishments and credentials that are important to you but may bog down your
introduction don't have to be thrown away. Make a basic handout about your
presentation that features your name, photograph, contact information and any
additional details you want to share with your clients or conference members.

8. Use an interesting hook or humor at the beginning of your presentation.

As you plan out how to introduce yourself, think of a few compelling hooks you can use
to get your audience’s attention. Humor is one of the easiest ways you can relate to
your audience; so is admitting a recent challenge you've faced (that's somehow
relevant to your presentation) and discussing how you've grown from it. If you decide
using humor is the best way to introduce yourself, avoid taking aim at important
conference members or using politically incorrect jokes. Joking around about yourself
is a safe way to make people laugh.

9. Organize a smooth transition.

Even if you have a fantastic introduction, your presentation will quickly fall apart if you
don't have a transition. Determine how you can create a bridge between your intro and
presentation content. Ending your introduction with a nod to one of your favorite clients
and a project or conversation relevant to your topic is a good way to create a bridge
between your introduction and main content. For example: "[Renowned client] is one of
my best clients. Just last week, we were discussing how…[lead into presentation
content]."

10. If you make a mistake, keep going!

As you introduce yourself, it's important not to freeze up if you accidentally

mispronounce a word, stutter, momentarily forget your lines or feel anxious. If you're
suddenly struck with stage fright, take two seconds to inconspicuously take a breath in
through your nose and out through your mouth. Monitor your breathing and keep your
worries in check. While you may feel completely self-conscious about what everyone at
your presentation thinks of the way you look and speak, just remember that everyone

5
attending is more interested in the valuable information you have to share rather than
how you look sharing it. No one expects you to deliver your presentation, especially
your introduction, with total perfection.

Learning how to introduce yourself in a professional, fun and engaging way may seem
complex, but it's easier than you think. Self-doubt is one of the biggest roadblocks to
successfully delivering an introduction! Believing in yourself will help you radiate
confidence and convince your conference members that you're self-assured and know
exactly what you're talking about.

2.3 Introduce People to The Public

1. Make a formal introduction correctly. Most formal introductions will relate to

the workplace, but they can also take place during formal social events, or if
you're with distinguished people. If you're introducing people in a formal setting,
then you should use the first and last names of the people, along with the
phrases,"May I present", "I'd like to introduce", or "Have you met..." Some
people think you should not use the word "introduce," as it can cause confusion
or come off as too direct, but it's up to you to decide. Here's what you should
do:
o Name the person of greater rank or authority first.
o Use both first and last names, and include any title such as "Dr./Sir". For
example, "Dr. Jones, may I introduce Stephanie Smith. Dr. Jones is my
art history professor. Stephanie is an art history major."
o Include relevant details as you introduce the two together, such as any
established relationship you have with the person you're introducing. For
example, you might say: "Mr. Boss, may I present Mark Jones. Mr. Boss
is my boss. Mark Jones is my associate."

6
2. Make an informal introduction correctly. For a less formal occasion, such as
your backyard barbecue, you can simply present both people to one another by
name by saying something like, "Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet." You can
also connect the people more casually and say something like, "I've been dying
for you to meet..."In an informal setting, you can worry less about how to phrase
everything and more about getting people talking.
o Using first names only is fine in informal situations.

3. Make a group introduction correctly. In this case, you will need to spend a
little time introducing the newcomer to each individual of the group unless it's a
small, informal group where a general introduction would suffice and it's neither
time-consuming nor disruptive to name each member of the group while you
have the group's attention.
o For more formal, larger groups, introduce the newcomer to the whole
group first, then take the newcomer to each person and introduce by
name: "Caroline, this is Fitzwilliam, my boss; Lydia, this is Fitzwilliam,
my boss," etc. Continue working your way around the group in this
manner.
o Though you may think it's funny or just easier to say, "Mary, this is
everybody. Everybody, this is Mary," this doesn't actually help get a
conversation going. Besides, it's rude to "everybody," because it makes
it seem like you don't think it's worth it for Mary to get to know each
person. Of course, use your discretion: if you're at a loud party and Mary
just got there, it may be overwhelming to introduce her to twelve new
faces immediately. Instead, ease Mary into the conversation and
introduce her to a few people at a time.

4. Do not repeat names or reverse the introduction. In both formal and informal
cases, you do not need to reverse the introductions. It's obvious to both parties
who is whom. Repeating names or reversing the introduction can make things a
bit tedious, and you'll be making a social blunder.

5. Be delicate when you don't know a person's name. We've all been there.
You try to introduce two people when you realize that you just completely forgot
the name of the person standing in front of you. There are two approaches you
can take:
o Politely excuse yourself and say, "I'm so sorry, would you mind
reminding me of your name?"
o Try to be sneaky. Say, "Have the two of you met?" Then pause and wait
for the people to introduce themselves. This isn't a perfect maneuver,
but it can help you in a pinch, especially if you've forgotten the name of
a person you've met several times!

7
6. Use common sense when deciding what to call people. The general rule of
thumb is that you should introduce people to each other by what you normally
call them. For example, if you're great friends with your former professor, Lucy
Houston, you can just introduce her to your boyfriend as "Lucy," if that's what
you always call each other. If you're in a more formal situation and the person
has not given you permission to call him or her by his or her first name, and you
have always called the person by "Dr." or "Mr.," then you should keep doing
that.
o When in doubt, go with the more formal option. It's better to have your
boss say, "You can call me Bob instead of Mr." instead of having your
boss bristle when you call him "Bob" instead of "Mr."
