1. Meetings In Business Communication

2. Self Introduction Introducing Others Agreeing and Disagreeing

3. 1. Introducing Yourself HOW ? Lead your self-intro with important information first impressions are everything. A good and professional introduction = memorable = how others see you provide a snapshot of what you do professionally and what you're proud of prioritize the key information you want to be remembered for. Why is your introduction crucial? communicate your value quickly and clearly

4. Hi, I’m Sarah, a marketing specialist who helps small businesses grow online. I recently led a campaign that boosted engagement by 40% . I’m passionate about creating strategies that truly connect brands with people . WHY IT WORKS? Clear and professional snapshot ( the role and expertise). Highlights (makes it memorable with specific success). Shows value and passion (tells the audience what drives her, the intro becomes authentic and engaging)

5. 2. Introducing Others respect, warmth, charm and common courtesy will be noticed by your clients, prospective clients and business partners. Business settings/context Introducing others What event? New employee orientation Meeting with clients Meeting with business partners Company party industry networking event, etc some protocols that apply to introductions

6. The common courtesy for introducing others The younger person is introduced to the older person. A man is introduced to a woman. A junior member of staff is introduced to a senior member of staff. married couples with different surnames: introduce the woman first and use their full names. For example, “Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy”. Example: “I would like you to meet …(name). S/he is the …(name of the position and company)”.  “I’d like to introduce…,” “May I introduce…,” “I’d like you to meet…” “May I present…”  In more formal situations (obvious age difference) use courtesy titles and last names : “Mrs. Samantha, I’d like you to meet Mr. John.”

7. Dos and Don’ts DON’T forget titles and last names if the introduction is formal, professional, or public.   Introduce a lower-ranking person to a higher-ranking person and say the higher-ranking person’s name first. Provide relevant context that will encourage them to start talking.

8. SOME TIPS FOR A GOOD INTRODUCTION Look at the person you have been speaking to then turn to the person you are about to introduce.    Say something like: “I’d like to introduce…,” “May I introduce…,” “I’d like you to meet…”, “May I present…”. Introduce the youngest person to the older; junior to senior; your company employee to your guest Make eye contact Speak clearly and with confidence. Get the order right. Create a conversation starter. “Susan, I’d like you to meet Bob Johnson who is the head of IT in our New Zealand branch. Bob, Susan has been studying web design this year.”

9. Agreeing and Disagreeing Inevitably, people will agree and disagree with one another during meetings. It’s important to make your position in a debate clear, while being polite to people you disagree with. Sean: Tim, the office move, as you know, the plans have been up by the main exit for a week now. I just wanted to see what kind of feedback you’ve got. Tim: Yeah, Sean, I’m sorry, but I really strongly disagree with the new floor plan. I think it's divisive to separate the secretaries and the assistants out from the editors and managers. I’d be much happier if we could be located in teams. Carrie: Actually, I think Sean is right. I’ve been chatting to some of the secretaries and they’re quite keen to all be sitting in the same area, and, speaking as an editor, I think I’d like to be with other editors so that we can bounce ideas off each other and things. So I think Sean’s floor plan is right.
