Never be stuck with what to say when someone asks you to introduce yourself! Listen to this episode for my PPU formula so you’re never thrown off guard and you’re always prepared with what to say.

Talking about yourself is simply a chance to let people get to know you.

Here’s my PPU introduction formula:

1) Say something Personal 

2) Share what you do Professionally

3) Offer something Unique about you 

Here's how it might sound in conversation:

I'm originally from Minnesota and now live in San Francisco with my husband and two kitties, after packing my bags in the mid-90's to follow a dream of living in SF.

Professionally, I'm a keynote speaker helping women communicate with confidence so they can advance in their careers.

One unique thing about me is that I love adventure. An example of that is deciding to live in Manhattan for the whole month of October for my 50th birthday. I rented a place and lived like a local.

Try that out and let me know how it goes! You'll sound prepared and leave your audience with something memorable about you.
