How to introduce yourself - ACCA's PO # 5 Communicate effectively

ACCA's performance objective #5 states that we need to communicate clearly in order to work effectively with others.

Every new communication with people starts with the introductory speech or writing the speech introducing yourself.

First impression makes a significant impact on how others perceive you. Be careful with the words introducing yourself. The information can either uphold or harm your credibility.

There are some suggestions I have collected about good introductory speech:

Your name

State your name clearly at the beginning. Name is important for many people. They will think about your name in their mind during your speech, if you do not start with that.

Say your first and last name with any titles you usually use.

Details about your current life

Tell people where you are at your life.
