Do you need to introduce yourself at a virtual team meeting?
2
Well knowing how to introduce yourself right may seem trivial
3
but this self -introduction is actually really important
4
and in this video I'm going to share with you five tips on how to give the best self -introduction
5
that you can give at a virtual team meeting and
6
if you stay tuned to the end of this video I
7
have something to share with you that's going to for sure
8
impress the people at your your virtual team meeting hi
9
if you're new here welcome make sure you subscribe to the best career
10
and project management advice coming to you every wednesday so
11
if you're as excited as i am about introducing yourself at a virtual team meeting then like this video
12
and let's get to it no handshake no problem your virtual
13
introduction okay you are now the new kid on the block perhaps this is a brand new job
14
or maybe it's even your first job congratulations you have to do your introduction i want to let you know
15
that it is really important
16
that whatever introduction you use you should practice it really is
17
going to help you to be succinct with what's uh what it is
18
that you're going to be saying to individuals
19
because i promise your colleagues are going to be very curious as to who you are what you're about
20
and really what you bring to the table now the good
21
thing is this virtual introduction is not any different than
22
if you were doing a live introduction around a boardroom meeting table
23
so just remember a few things you want to keep it
24
to the point clear concise 30 to 60 seconds is usually
25
great try not to be boring in the sense of just sticking to your name
26
and your job title try to have a little bit of fun with it
27
but obviously in a professional way
28
so you do want to give your name what you're going
29
to be doing you probably also want to give a little
30
bit of a tidbit of who you are perhaps some experience you may have
31
that they'd be interested in now don't go into your whole resume or CV, that's not what they're looking for.
32
And why not even round it off to even do something that is really interesting about you, something where they're going to want to talk to you afterwards and say,
33
Hey, can I learn more about that?
34
That can be great whenever it comes to doing a virtual introduction, because we don't have the luxury
35
when you're virtual of actually seeing people in the hallway and getting to know them a little bit better.
36
So these virtual introductions are a great way to ensure
37
that you can get connected with them really quickly when you do a good one.
38
So let's talk about an example and I'm gonna give you one right now.
39
Hi I'm Adriana Girdler, president of Cornerstone Dynamics, a productivity and project management consulting firm.
40
I have over 20 plus years of experience in this amazing industry working with some really cool clients.
41
I live and breathe this stuff so much so just ask me about my laundry system.
42
Now that was the introduction but it's not over just yet
43
because we have to talk about the close
44
when you do a self -introduction you do want to end it up with something really positive about the group
45
and one thing
46
that you could add to what i just gave as an
47
example is i heard some great things about you i can't wait to work with you there you got it
48
now you know what to say in your introduction you have to think about some other things as well
49
so show some enthusiasm this is going to be really critical
50
you just want to be hanging back I've seen it on
51
some virtual calls with self -introduction where people are just like
52
hi how are you you know this is our only really way of getting to know other people
53
because again we don't have the hallway talk
54
so show this some enthusiasm you're excited to be there smile
55
really look at the camera it's just gonna be really helpful to come across
56
which can be a little bit hard virtually exactly how you're feeling
57
so definitely exaggerate slightly so
58
that can come across on camera body language okay for body language you need to have the camera on
59
so just as important it was for showing enthusiasm because again
60
if you don't have the camera on you even have to exaggerate things even more
61
but your body language becomes really important you don't want to be laying back you want to be lying down
62
because i've seen
63
that you really just want to be sitting straight ideally even have your computer set up properly
64
so it's at eye level
65
because with your body language you want to be able to
66
look at people eye to eye you don't want them staring
67
up your face you want to be sitting straight it's again it's their first impression of you
68
and if you don't put the camera on a lot
69
that's what they're gonna remember so just think about
70
that sitting up straight ensuring
71
that you have a really good background your body language is
72
just saying I'm here I'm present I'm not slouching I'm not lying down I'm really here with you
73
and I'm gonna give you all my attention so
74
that really is important with
75
that self -introduction dress the part okay now here's real good news
76
so please don't get on me in the comments like i'm being superficial
77
because i'm not i'm just sharing with you reality here the good news is now
78
that we all live in this virtual world and having virtual meetings
79
we actually have a little bit of casualness associated to it fantastic
80
but when it comes to first impressions and the first time someone is meeting you when you're doing your introduction
81
virtually is you do want to kind of think about what exactly it is
82
that you're wearing i'm not asking you to get dressed up
83
i'm not even asking you to put on a suit
84
but you do want to think about this is the first
85
time they're going to see you how do you want them to remember you
86
because they may not see you again for a while so what's the first impression so this is what i do you.
87
You can see my curly hair, right?
88
This is kind of my signature look.
89
I was born with this.
90
I can't do anything about it.
91
I actually love it.
92
So what I do is I actually leave, I will do my hair for my first time I'm meeting an important client
93
or a group of people that they've not met me before because my hair is also my signature.
94
So people go, yeah, the one with the curly hair, the curly hair girl.
95
So that becomes important for me from a first impression standpoint point, obviously I'm going to give a really great introduction, but I want them to remember me too, not just from my words,
96
but, but from my look.
97
So I'll just have a simple shirt on again.
98
I'm more casual because of the virtual calls and I'll have my curly hair.
99
Now, my second meeting with you may be completely different where I have my hair up in a ponytail
100
because we've met already once.
101
And you know what?
102
It's a lot of effort and effort to do all this stuff.
103
Let me tell you for you, I will do it on the video all the time that's why you see my hair down for you
104
because i love you guys and i appreciate it
105
because i want to give you a good impression do you see so on
106
that note just be aware of it be aware of what
107
you're wearing it is the first time they're meeting you
108
and you just want to at least have
109
that really good impression left in their mind follow up all right you're not done
110
or i'm going to suggest i'm going to suggest you're not
111
done after you give yourself introduction follow up after the meeting
112
why not send a personal email to each individual saying what
113
a pleasure it was to meet them this is the connections
114
you're gonna start making in order for you to do your job
115
because you're gonna probably have to work with all these individuals
116
so take the time follow up it's a special little thing
117
that will distinguish you and people will remember you by
118
and what a great way to start your new job now that you know how to introduce yourself to your virtual team,
119
it is now time to know how to be awesome at projects.
120
Why?
121
Because if you're new to an organization, not only are you going to be doing your job, but you're probably going to do some special items outside of your job, which are called projects.
122
So I want you to go to the link below and grab this, what it is that you need to be aware of
123
so your projects don't fail because you're already on the right note with your introduction.
124
Continue with that right note and download this
125
so you can understand how to ensure
126
that everything you do is successful this is also very transferable to just business in general
127
so i hope you like this video
128
if you could like it share it with the friends
129
and colleagues that you know and let me know how do you introduce yourself
130
and if you have any other insight that you want to share Thanks so much.
131
See you at the next video.
132
Bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
