TLDRThe video provides a structured approach to introducing oneself effectively, applicable to both verbal and non-verbal elements. Key advice includes making sure your non-verbal signals like smiling and body orientation match what you're saying. Authentic smiling and 'full fronting'—facing the person fully with your head, torso, and toes—are emphasized. Verbally, start with a quick greeting, state your name slowly to show confidence, add a positive statement, your title or reason for being there, and optionally a fun fact to break the ice. Clear signaling of physical greetings, such as handshakes, avoids awkwardness. The importance of using positive language to set a friendly tone is also highlighted. Lastly, the video promotes a further 'Conversation Mastery' course for learning advanced conversation techniques.

    Introducing yourself effectively involves both verbal and non-verbal communication. Non-verbal cues include a genuine smile, appropriate gestures like a handshake, hug, or wave, and maintaining open body language by angling your body towards the person you are meeting. Verbally, start with a simple greeting, say your name slowly to convey confidence, add a positive remark about the event, state your title or purpose, and consider sharing a fun fact to break the ice.

  • 00:00:00
    here's a weird little social skill
  • 00:00:02
    introducing yourself right this like
  • 00:00:04
    kind of an awkward thing to do and if
  • 00:00:05
    you do it wrong it's really awkward so
  • 00:00:07
    here's a video little formula on how to
  • 00:00:09
    introduce yourself first non-verbal
  • 00:00:11
    there's actually two parts of
  • 00:00:12
    introducing yourself it's the verbal
  • 00:00:13
    what you say but it's also the
  • 00:00:14
    non-verbal like I can have the perfect
  • 00:00:16
    words but look terrible watch hi I'm
  • 00:00:19
    Vanessa and I'm so happy to be here and
  • 00:00:21
    meet you as the host of this event like
  • 00:00:23
    even though the verbal is good like I
  • 00:00:25
    look terrible so you have to match them
  • 00:00:27
    so let's start with the non-verbal first
  • 00:00:29
    if you feel like smil smiling this is
  • 00:00:30
    the perfect time to smile but I only
  • 00:00:32
    want you to smile if it's authentic
  • 00:00:34
    there is nothing worse than a fake smile
  • 00:00:36
    hi I'm Vanessa and I'm so happy to be
  • 00:00:39
    here so only smile if it's authentic if
  • 00:00:41
    it's not it's okay if you don't have a
  • 00:00:42
    smile but if you feel happy to be there
  • 00:00:44
    actually show the smile second
  • 00:00:46
    non-verbally you want to show if you're
  • 00:00:48
    going to have some sort of touch or
  • 00:00:50
    physical greeting so especially if
  • 00:00:52
    you're in person are you going to
  • 00:00:53
    handshake are you going to hug are you
  • 00:00:55
    going to high-five or do you want
  • 00:00:57
    nothing this doesn't apply on video but
  • 00:00:59
    in person if you're going to handshake I
  • 00:01:01
    want you to Blade so hi I'm Vanessa so
  • 00:01:03
    nice to meet you okay so you're going to
  • 00:01:05
    put your hand out to show I am about to
  • 00:01:07
    give you a handshake this is going to
  • 00:01:09
    avoid the most awkward moment for humans
  • 00:01:12
    which is are we going to handshake or
  • 00:01:13
    hug are we are we GNA H fist my high
  • 00:01:16
    five hug oh side hug awkward cheek right
  • 00:01:18
    you avoid that so if you want a
  • 00:01:20
    handshake blade if you want to hug do
  • 00:01:22
    the both hands open if you're on video
  • 00:01:24
    or you're on stage I highly recommend a
  • 00:01:27
    non-verbal greeting from afar so hi
  • 00:01:30
    everyone nice to meet you happy to be
  • 00:01:32
    here a simple visible hand um visible
  • 00:01:35
    hand also helps the brain see a friend
  • 00:01:37
    not foe we're not hiding
  • 00:01:40
    anything so visible hand for a hug to be
  • 00:01:43
    very clear and the last one is what I
  • 00:01:45
    call full fronting not full frontal full
  • 00:01:49
    fronting that is that you're angling
  • 00:01:51
    your toes your torso and your head
  • 00:01:53
    towards the person that you're meeting
  • 00:01:55
    we don't really like it when someone is
  • 00:01:57
    hey nice to meet you we like it when a
  • 00:01:58
    body is fully angled towards us so that
  • 00:02:01
    is angling my head my torso and my um
  • 00:02:05
    toes towards the person especially if
  • 00:02:06
    you're moving in towards them this works
  • 00:02:08
    on video this works on stage if you're
  • 00:02:10
    on stage even like gesturing with your
  • 00:02:12
    whole audience so hey everyone so nice
  • 00:02:14
    to be here so I'm full fronting with
  • 00:02:16
    everyone that's in front of me or the
  • 00:02:18
    room that's in front of me okay that's
  • 00:02:20
    the non-verbal the verbal first a quick
  • 00:02:22
    greeting hi howdy hello welcome one word
  • 00:02:26
    right just a quick one second your name
  • 00:02:29
    slow slowly this is the biggest mistake
  • 00:02:31
    we make when we introduce yourself and I
  • 00:02:32
    am guilty of it which is we rush through
  • 00:02:35
    our name because we're nervous we think
  • 00:02:37
    people have heard it before we just
  • 00:02:38
    stumble over it so we swallow our name
  • 00:02:41
    or rush through it the way that I used
  • 00:02:43
    to do this is hi I'm Vanessa
  • 00:02:45
    man no one even knows that so if you're
  • 00:02:48
    in a casual setting first name only hi
  • 00:02:51
    I'm Vanessa if you're in a formal
  • 00:02:53
    setting and introducing yourself in
  • 00:02:54
    front of an audience people who don't
  • 00:02:56
    know you hi I'm Vanessa van Edwards full
  • 00:02:58
    name slow I know it sounds painfully
  • 00:03:01
    slow to you but it's worse when you rush
  • 00:03:03
    through it because it signals low
  • 00:03:05
    confidence so one word greeting hi howdy
  • 00:03:07
    hello welcome Aloha your name slowly
  • 00:03:11
    then I like to have just a very quick
  • 00:03:13
    positive word I'm so happy to be here
  • 00:03:16
    I'm so honored to be here I'm so excited
  • 00:03:18
    to be here or if you're leading I'm so
  • 00:03:20
    thrilled to be leading this meeting I'm
  • 00:03:22
    so happy to be hosting this party I'm
  • 00:03:24
    really happy to introduce my other
  • 00:03:25
    friends like one positive word it kind
  • 00:03:29
    of in injects a little bit of positivity
  • 00:03:31
    in in the interaction and it sets you up
  • 00:03:33
    for Success we like people who use
  • 00:03:35
    positive words so word name positive
  • 00:03:37
    thing then you're going to add your
  • 00:03:39
    title or reason for being there so
  • 00:03:41
    depending on where you're introducing
  • 00:03:43
    yourself are you hosting the party are
  • 00:03:44
    you leading the meeting do you need to
  • 00:03:46
    say who you are your job title your
  • 00:03:48
    title that day so I could say I
  • 00:03:50
    introduce myself all the time in front
  • 00:03:52
    of presentations so I would say hi I'm
  • 00:03:54
    Vanessa van Edwards I'm so honored to be
  • 00:03:56
    here and I'm a recovering awkward person
  • 00:03:58
    right like that's my funny one you could
  • 00:04:00
    also say um I'm lead marketer here I'll
  • 00:04:03
    be leading the call so what's your title
  • 00:04:05
    and reason for being there and lastly if
  • 00:04:08
    you want to you can add a fun fact you
  • 00:04:10
    don't have to you don't have to but if
  • 00:04:12
    you're brave enough it always breaks the
  • 00:04:14
    ice so this could sound like hi I'm
  • 00:04:17
    Vanessa I'm so happy to have you all at
  • 00:04:20
    my home tonight we'll be serving lots of

  • 00:04:28
    bit of a fun fact um you can also have a
  • 00:04:30
    fun fact about the meeting or a fun fact
  • 00:04:32
    about your host but really the first
  • 00:04:34
    part is the most important so opening
  • 00:04:36
    word your full fronting you are
  • 00:04:38
    hopefully smiling if you feel like it
  • 00:04:40
    bonus points for eye contact you're
  • 00:04:42
    going to say your name slowly a positive
  • 00:04:45
    word your reason for being there and if
  • 00:04:47
    you are brave enough a fun fact by the
  • 00:04:49
