Self-introduction is one of the things we do most when we are in contact with people.

You may not always carry your business card with you, but you must introduce yourself to others.

But will you really introduce yourself?

Do you know what a high-quality self-introduction should be like?

There are three criteria to measure the quality of self-introduction:

Can anyone remember you when you're finished?

Do others know your characteristics?

Are others interested in you and start the next communication or even cooperation with you?

Reflect on your self-introduction. Have you met these three criteria?

Even if you only do one thing, you have surpassed most people, because in fact, everyone can't introduce themselves, so this article will talk about how to introduce yourself with high quality.

First of all, what you need to consider is not flowery rhetoric, amazing achievements, or a complete set of words. What you should think most is what kind of structure you want to use to express it.

Expressing this is the same as building a house. Novices think about skills, while experts think about structure.

If a person builds a house, he will not first consider the basic structure and function, such as how big it will be. How many floors do you need to build? Is it a hospital, school or church? But first consider, what color should the walls be painted? What material is the gate made of and whose painting is to be hung on the wall for decoration, so there is a high probability that the house will not be built well.

Once again, for the master, the structure is always the first, and the skill is only the auxiliary. So I will start with the structure, and then I will make my self-introduction more exciting and show the elements and skills of flowers.

So let me talk about it first. What kind of structure should we use to introduce ourselves?

Three durations and structures 1. How to introduce yourself in one sentence?

Is it possible to make an impressive self-introduction in just one sentence?

There is a structure called "strong contrast", also called "Gao Fancha", that is, introducing yourself with two opposite concepts in one sentence can leave a deep impression on others.

For example: "I am a Shandong native who can't drink."

Generally speaking, we think that Shandong people are good at drinking. This is a stereotype and label. When you break this label, others will remember you easily.

Similarly: "I am a Cantonese who doesn't eat Fujian people."

Of course, this is a joke.

If I were to introduce myself in one sentence, I would say this:

"Hello, I am a columnist who has practiced sports."

There is a dynamic and static contrast, which also belongs to Gao Fancha and is easy to remember.

This is a self-introduction In our study group, there are good homework. I chose five to show you:

But there is a problem that needs your attention, that is, introduce yourself in such a "strong contrast" structure, and never shape yourself in a negative direction.

What do you mean?

For example, there is a self-introduction:

"I am an emotional counselor who has never been in love."

Dude, you want to ruin your job. This is to make others question your professional ability.

This is not a good self-introduction with strong contrast.

There is also: "I am a particularly careless accountant", which also belongs to not wanting to do it. This is the same as "I am a lawyer who has been in prison".

There are similar counterexamples in the research group, such as:

"I am a personnel who does not do personnel."

"I am a cashier who can only add and subtract integers within 10. “

"I am covered in darkness, but I always want to give others some light."

"I am a kindergarten teacher who knows nothing."

"I am a learner who can't learn."

"I am a financial planner who spends money without blinking an eye."

Contrast ≠ Negative label

This must be remembered, especially when you introduce yourself in one sentence. Never let others question your professionalism.

2. How to introduce yourself in 30 seconds?

If you have enough time, for example, you have 30 seconds, how can you introduce yourself with more information?

Give you a formula: past+present+future.

For example:

"I used to be a very lazy person until I entered this reading group. I am encouraged to find that so many people can study so hard. I also want to be a diligent and knowledgeable person and set up a banner. From now on, I will read a book every week, please supervise. "

You see, in this self-introduction, the way of past+present+future is used. What was it like? What touched it here? What plans are there for the future? What is the connection with the audience?

3. How to introduce yourself for 60 seconds

After a self-introduction, how to make a 30-second self-introduction and how to make a longer version, 60 seconds, that is, 1 minute self-introduction.

Let me give you a formula:

Who am I+What do I have to do with you+What am I to you?

Make a demonstration:

"Hello, I'm Ma Xujun, the most expensive business speech expert in China.

I believe you should also be interested in expression and self-improvement, then we are really fellow travelers.

My specialty is that I can put an ordinary person on the stage of thousands of people in a week and make an extremely wonderful speech. So if you need to improve your expressive ability, you can come to me and I will definitely help you. "

This is the self-introduction formula of "who am I+what's the relationship between me and you+what's my use to you".

60 seconds is enough.

What? You ask me what to do if it is longer?

Calm down and introduce yourself. Sixty seconds is the limit. If you talk too much, you will be verbose, and others will not remember. Never try to make the other person remember you by accumulating information, which will definitely have the opposite effect, because the information bandwidth that the human brain can handle at a time is very limited. When introducing yourself, others will also observe your expression, makeup, clothes and other multi-dimensional information. If you try to cover everything, the other party will hear nothing.

These are the three structures of self-introduction, of course, there are others, but let's talk about the ones that are simple and easy to remember, and correspond according to the length of time:

In a word-"strong contrast"

30 seconds-"Past, Present and Future"

60 seconds-"Who am I+What am I to you+What am I to you?"

Wonderful elements of skills (1)

You can also add some wonderful elements to your self-introduction that can deepen others' impression of you.

The first is the great things you have done.

Last time I introduced myself in 60 seconds, I used this element:

"My specialty is that I can put an ordinary person on the stage of thousands of people in a week and give an extremely wonderful speech."

There is something similar, for example,

"I once spent a year reciting a dictionary. “

"I only need 3 minutes a day to get dressed and go out beautifully."

It may not be a big deal, such as traveling around China and saving the world. But have a sense of story and surprise, which will not only make others remember you, but also create opportunities for others to communicate with you further.

Our study group's homework feedback is:

"hello! I am Skye. I have been running every day for 5 years and participated in 9 marathons. Running mileage can circle the earth several times. "

"hello! I'm Jonning. Let me tell you a little thing. I have taken my parents out to play every year since 20 13. Now I have never been to Antarctica, South America and the Arctic on seven continents. "

"Hello, my name is Liu Leyou. I spent a year making a game last year and went online in my spare time. "

There is a technical point here: this thing should show your special ability or your excellent character, and it should be positive and impressive.

Wonderful elements (2)

Besides telling great things you have done, there is another way to impress others with wonderful elements, which is called "the best".

What do you mean? Someone left me a message backstage saying that you haven't done anything particularly powerful, so you can find yourself a most powerful label.

For example, in my self-introduction, I would say that I am the most expensive business speech coach in China, which is a memory point.

You might as well dig the most unique place in yourself as your own label.

For example,

"I am the best ppt."

"I visit customers the most."

You can even say:

"I eat the fastest."

"I am the first to come to the company."

In short, find your own "best" label, even if it is only the best in a small group.

Come, look at our group's homework:

"Hello, I'm Lex, and I'm the most popular monk among girls."

"I am INTJ, the smallest personality type in the world. “

"I'm Wangyf, and I'm the best at managing attention."

"I am the girl who can do the most push-ups in our gym."

Interesting? Impressive?

You may wonder, is the "best" element the same as the "great thing"?

No, the key point of this element is that your most unique features may overlap, but if I give you an example, you will understand the most important difference. It's also self-introduction. You can use "the most powerful" to express:

"I am the tallest in the school."

For "great things", you can say:

"I beat Yao Ming at basketball. “

You got it?

Wonderful element (3)

There is another element of good self-introduction: relevance.

Even associating yourself with impressive events or people is a wonderful element.

For example, two days ago, I heard a self-introduction, and a friend participated in the military parade on the 70th anniversary of the National Day. Another doctor friend joined the Shanghai medical team to help Wuhan fight COVID-19.

This is a big event connection.

What is character association? "When I used to practice sports, I often trained with Liu Xiang, an Asian flying man, at the training ground."

This is the character connection.

Our group's homework is also very interesting:

"hello! I shh! I am an alumnus with Cheng Wei, CEO of Didi Chuxing. He is my brother, but I have no discount for taking a taxi. "

"Hello, I'm Liu. From small to large, I have always been called' Liu Hulan'. "

"Hello, I'm Wikipedia. I have photographed overseas for more than 60 artists including Nana Ou-yang, Mr. Yu Qian, Victor Ma and Alyssa Chia. "

"Relevance", the technical point of this element, is that the people you associate with had better be known to the public recently, or to all China people at once.

If you don't introduce yourself to insiders (academic circle, business circle, science and technology circle) and don't use celebrities who are well-known in your own industry but unknown to laymen, it will be counterproductive, and the more you explain, the more confused you will be.

If you really can't find a good connection, simply take your name apart and tell what it is.

Of course, I'm sure you have more than one method now. The previous "best" and "great things" can be used flexibly.

The essence of "connection" is actually "traffic", so don't be shy to establish a connection with the people or things that you are most familiar with and are very popular recently.

Deepening each other's memories is the purpose of self-introduction.

I wish you an impressive self-introduction.
