How to Give a 60 Second Self-Introduction Presentation

hey there so in my last view I talked about giving a self-introduction presentation and I talked about the importance of relating who you are to your audience to make sure that they will be engaged with what you're talking about and really care about who you are as a person in this video I'm gonna talk about what you can say specifically when you're giving a 60 second self introduction hey my name is Carl Kwan this channel here is all about learning presentation skills I'll teach you how to z' tips and tricks to give better presentations you'll also see some of my work videos I own a company called Kwan multimedia which is a video marketing agency so you'll see some of those videos here too but for the most part you'll get presentations videos here to help you give better presentations so make sure you like and subscribe and hit that Bell icon as well okay so when you have to give a sixty second self introduction first of all where would this even take place well a lot of times this takes place in business meetings it could take place when you're doing an interview maybe you're in front of a school group or something like that and you just tell people who you are so what you can say is you can start off with saying your name and saying who you are as far as your job or your title or what you're studying something like that so you might say hi my name is Carl I'm an MBA student from the University of California and I'm currently studying mechanical engineering something like that so that'd be a really great start now the next part of it is you can talk about something that maybe you specialize in or or maybe why you decided to study that just to give people a little bit of background as to who you are as a person so you could say something like when I was a child I really loved putting things together and making things and tinkering with things and I always just knew how things went together and it was always so boring for me to just sit in a classroom and not be able to make anything I was most at home when I made something and built things and design things and that's what led me to becoming an engineering student so the next part of it now is to tell people okay this is what I'm here for this is why I'm here this is why I'm giving the presentation of why I'm speaking to you guys today so one thing you could say if we're talking about this mechanical engineering person is to say today I want to talk about something that is going to be really interesting to give you a better perspective on what we do as mechanical engineers and it might even spark a little bit of interest and curiosity in becoming an engineer or at least knowing more about engineering yourself so that's what you have to do to sort of wrap up that 60-second introduction just talk about an objective or a goal or maybe something you want the audience to do it's just a little way of like saying okay well here's my here's Who I am here's where I came from and now here's where we're going with this so it's just a neat little tidy way to have three sections of that presentation to give that 60-second introduction now just as a final tip here a 60 second introduction is approximately a hundred and fifty words so if you're write it out exactly we want to say a word for word and you're hitting about 150 words that is perfect anything above that you're going to start speaking a little bit too fast and it might be hard for people to understand you I'll live it slower than that then you won't come up to the 60 seconds which is also really good because nobody will complain if your presentation is less than 60 seconds all right anyway hopefully that is helpful for you please let me know if you have any questions or comments about that and go ahead and try it and let me know how it works for you as well all right thanks and we'll see you the next video
