Several studies have shown that you only have 7 seconds to make an everlasting impression on your audience in a presentation. It means these few seconds are critical as your audience makes a subconscious decision of whether what you speak is worth listening to or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenters generally begin a presentation with their self-introduction, and those 7 seconds cover-up in explaining about them. So, it\u2019s important to make this part of your talk more powerful and captivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-introduction is not as easy as it seems to be. You would want to highlight your achievements, but at the same time, you won\u2019t want to blow your trumpet. You would not want to share every minute detail about your life, but you won\u2019t want to miss out on telling any important thing about yourself to the audience either. In a nutshell, when you have to introduce yourself, you are in a dilemma – what to say and what not to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
