Then introduce yourself. What do we often have? When we meet new friends, participate in activities, or interview, we are often invited to "introduce ourselves", but we are often easily taken away by the literal meaning and begin to introduce ourselves one by one: what's your name, where you live, where you study, where you work, blood type, constellation, interests, and so on.
When you finished your speech and prepared for the next one, people in the audience almost forgot about you. This kind of self-introduction is particularly common and easy to forget. A good self-introduction is the name and appearance of the person who can impress the listener with a certain feature of you and make contact with you. Then how should I introduce it? Let's share a general trick and the main points of three different situations.
1, a hint: create an accident with a negative label.
"I am enthusiastic, active, earnest, willing to study and be diligent ..."
We have heard too many such boastful adjective introductions. Not only can you say it, but other self-introductions usually carry a positive adjective. Because of the lack of description of specific events, it is very abstract and has no pictures and emotional feelings, so there is no * * * sound, and the subconscious often ignores it directly. So all we have to do is make an accident: find a label that looks bad, but it is a good description when you think about it.
Let's put it another way:
①: "Frankly speaking, I am a lazy and forgetful person, and I often can't remember a lot of work information." "But I can often complete the tasks entrusted to me."
②: "My colleagues who work with me all think that I am too serious and unreasonable."
At first, the audience was surprised by the negative description: "Usually everyone is talking about their own good, why did someone suddenly come to say their own shortcomings?" This time, it will stimulate the audience to start thinking about "why", and we will attach a story to describe it to satisfy his curiosity and make a deep impression:
①: "So in order to satisfy my lazy instinct, I have time to study various productivity tools and methods of working in the cloud. Let tools help me remember information and leave room for ideas and creativity. The pursuit of maximum productivity comes from my lazy instinct. "
②: "I still remember that once I was in charge of a complex and huge project, and I worked hard for two weeks in a row, which almost exhausted my colleagues in the same group. Tomorrow is just a holiday, and my colleague came to chat with me and said,' Tomorrow is a holiday, so you can have a good rest.' I immediately responded:' Wow, this is just right! We can get rid of all the materials we didn't sort out last week at home, but we can't go out anyway, can we? "Hearing this, my colleagues immediately turned green. I later learned that they wanted to take a rare two-day vacation. "
The first introduction will make us wonder why he called himself "lazy and forgetful" at first. After careful consideration, we know that he "pursues work efficiency very much, leaving his head to creativity and information to tools". The second introduction, at first, was considered to be a difficult person to approach. As a result, people who work very hard, answer the mission and seize the opportunity are just too simple and honest.
In other words, the first skill can lead to three steps:
Through negative labels, let the other party be surprised first, break the original cognition and inspire thinking.
(2) It is actually an advantage to let the other party think deeply and find that they want to think deeper!
3 successfully build an impression!
2. Three common situations
Finally, we picked out three occasions where people often need to introduce themselves, namely "interview", "gathering and socializing" and "attending courses and activities". These three situations all have corresponding "purposes", that is, under these circumstances, we should try our best to meet these purposes, otherwise we will often lose our impression and lose our opportunities.
Interview: the value and help you can give.
For the interviewer, there is only one question: "How much help and value can you provide us?" If you start talking about your interests (keeping dogs, playing ball games, traveling, etc.). ) without describing what these interests have to do with our plans, the way we cooperate, the goals and work contents of our company, it is useless to say so. He feels that he is listening in vain.
Please remember to extend your personal label through "concrete", "quantitative" and "available help", so that he can see, feel and even understand that their organization can not do without you.
② Socialization: Let others have the right to participate in your life and interests.
"People are narcissistic. When listening to others telling stories, I often hope to conform to my own story and life. "
In general social occasions, when people meet for the first time, there is no such utilitarian orientation, so we must never hold the microphone in our hands all the time and say that our interests are great and special, because others will think that their interests are great, good and special, and they will also want to express their stories, but don't look at others and think that they agree. He just wants you to finish it quickly.
For example, if you say that you like photography very much and like the types of light and shadow, you can throw the microphone to others and ask, "If you appreciate photographic photos, which one do you like?" If they answer light and shadow, then you can share some photos of yourself with him and invite him to take them together next time; If not, you can also say, "Oh! Although I haven't tried this field now, maybe I can ask your opinions and feedback after I try it in the future? "
Remember, in social places, try to give microphones and lights to others and let them participate in your life. At this time, the impression is mainly established from your behavior, and then your story and characteristics.
③ Courses and thematic activities: Key words of skills you can provide.
Because people who come to participate in such courses and theme activities are basically "eager to learn". So what we have to do is to let him find out that after getting to know you, there are other skills and specialties that he can communicate and learn from you. Think about what interests we have that can make others "participate" and "share teaching". These are the skill keywords we can provide. If it were me, it would be "briefing and expression", "cloud work" and "personal management"
So how to state and express will make this method more vital? Tell a story!
The simplest story: it should basically include "details", "dialogue" and "conflict" (accident). Have you learned such a simple introduction?
