Give me a high five, nice to meet you!

擊個掌，很高興認識你！

No.

不對。

That is not how you introduce yourself in a business setting.

這不是商業場合該有的自我介紹。

Maybe your high school buddy, that's okay, right?

如果是跟你的高中朋友見面，這樣說話是可以的，對吧？

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, a good first impression.

但你不會再有第二個機會來建立良好的第一印象。

I am shocked cause I've been to so many different business functions and networking events, and you see entrepreneurs and business owners are professionals, they meet people, very often, it's pretty awkward.

當我去到不同的工作、社交場合，我遇到許多創業家、公司老闆，他們都是業界專業人士，但我很驚訝地發現這些人在自我介紹的時候常常是很尷尬的。

They don't know how to introduce themselves.

他們不知道該如何介紹自己。

They don't know how to do the proper handshake.

也不知道該如何好好地握手。

They walk up to people, maybe not that extreme.

他們在這些場合，也許沒那麼極端。

But sometimes they're not so well-equipped with exactly what you just say, so today I wanna give you some tips.

但有時是沒有準備好，不知道自己該說什麼的，所以今天我要來教大家幾個技巧。

When you meet with someone, how do you make that good first impression?

初次見面，你要如何打造好的第一印象？

How do you introduce yourself or, sometimes, how do you introduce others?

你要如何介紹自己，或是，你要如何介紹別人？

Maybe you wanna introduce this person to this person.

也許你想把這個人介紹給另一個人。

What's the proper way to do that in a, kind of business, more formal setting, okay?

在一個正式的商業場合，你該怎麼做？

So when you meet someone, like a stranger or someone that you just meet, you don't want to be overly excited.

所以當你遇見一個不認識的人，可能是剛遇到的或是全然的陌生人，你不會想表現得過度興奮。

You don't want to be overly eager.

你不會想看起來太獻殷勤。

Like, (for) example, you meet someone, "Hey, nice to meet you!"

舉例而言，如果你在第一次見面時說：「嗨，很高興認識你！」

You're shaking their hand like, "Oh yeah, very nice to meet you!"

然後握著手說：「對啊，太高興認識你了！」

You don't want to do that.

你不會想這麽做。

You want to be nice and calm.

你應該要保持得體與冷靜。

You want to be a professional.

保持專業。

If you're an introvert and you're meeting someone, take your time, right?

如果你是個內向的人，第一次見面慢慢來沒關係。

Slow down, just put your hand, just, "Hey."

慢慢來，並伸出你的手，說：「嗨。」

And you can, let me give you a very simple way to introducing yourself.

接著你可以...讓我介紹一個很簡單的自我介紹的方法。

"My name is..."

「我的名字是...」

And you wanna take your time.

接著你要慢慢說。

I notice a lot of people, when they introduce their name, especially if your name, it's more difficult to pronounce.

我發現...很多人在介紹自己名字的時候，尤其是當你的名字不是那麼好發音的時候。

Or maybe, with your last name, it's not so common, right?

或是，也許你的姓氏不是那麼常見，對吧？

Then, take your time.

這時候一定要慢慢來。

Enunciate it.

把它發音清楚。

Slow down.

慢慢說。

So don't just rush it, then people don't understand.

不要急著講完，這樣人們不會聽得懂。

They don't remember your name, so "My name is..." take your time.

他們不會記得你的名字，所以「我的名字是...」這個部分一定要慢慢說。

So, my name is Dan Lok.

我的名字是 Dan Lok。

Lok, Dan Lok.

Lok ， Dan Lok 。

From there, right?

從這裡，對吧？

"My name is...", your hand, like this.

「我的名字是...」，伸手，像這樣。

Shake the hand, firm handshake, just like that.

握手，好好地握手，就像這樣。

Sometimes you might do something like this, your handshake, and then you put your hand over the shoulders like that, that's good too.

有時候你可能會這麼做，握手，然後把你的手放在他的肩膀上，這也是好的。

"My name is...", so if you want to be a little bit more, just a tiny little bit more intimate from here to here.

「我的名字是...」所以你想要稍微更親近一點的話，就可以這麼做。

You want to build that connection.

因為你想要建立你們之間的關係。

"It's a pleasure meeting you."

「很開心認識你。」

So, "My name is Dan Lok,"

然後，「我的名字是 Dan Lok 」

Shake hand, "It's a pleasure meeting you."

握手，說：「很高興認識你。」

See that?

看到了嗎？

Very, very simple.

很簡單。

Very, very simple.

非常非常簡單。

When you're introducing others, sometimes what you want to do is, "Let me introduce you to my friend here."

當你介紹別人的時候，有時你可以說：「讓我介紹我朋友給你認識。」

Right, and you want to introduce them.

這樣，然後你想介紹他們認識。

It's almost like you're presenting someone.

這就好像你在做一個正式的呈現一樣，

What you don't want to do is this.

錯誤表達的方式會是這樣。

"Hey, here's my friend here."

「嗨，這位是我朋友。」

You see how, like, who is this person?

你看出來了嗎？這會給人一種「這是誰啊」的印象。

You want to set this person up for success, make an intro properly.

你想做的事是好好包裝這個人的出場，讓它更加精緻。

It's almost you present "Hey, this is my friend, John here."

比較好的方式是說：「嗨，這位是我的朋友，John 。」

From here, you're presenting, like that, and from here.

從這裡，你在介紹他，像這樣，到這裡為止。

A very, very simple thing.

這是一件很簡單的事。

But you notice, most people don't do it well.

但你會發現，多數人都做不好。

So when you're introducing yourself, now, sometimes you can say, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

所以現在，當你自我介紹時，有時候你可以說：「很高興認識你」。

Sometimes you can say, "Nice to meet you" depends on the setting.

有時候你可以說：「很開心認識你」，這可以根據場合調整。

But you've got to practice it.

但你必須多練習。

You've got to be practicing the timing of it.

你要練習說話的時機點。

As simple as that, the first few seconds, that's how you make the first impression.

雖然這是很簡單的一件事，但就在短短的幾秒間就已經決定了你的第一印象。

And from there, you might say, transition that into a second questions.

而在自我介紹之後，你就可以問更多問題。

So, "Hi my name is Dan Lok."

像是，「嗨，我的名字是 Dan Lok。」

"Very nice to meet you."

「很高興認識你。」

Right?

對吧？

"What brought you to this event?"

「是什麼原因讓你來到這裡？」

From there, you can have a dialogue.

接著，你就可以展開一個對話。

You can get to understand more of what they do, how you can add value, what business are they in, just go from there.

你可以開始深入了解他們的工作、你如何可以為他加值、他們的商業領域，就從這裡開始。

And making eye contact, make sure when you're making eye contact, you don't, let me do a wrong way.

還有對視，記得要有眼神上的交流，不能...讓我做一個錯誤示範。

"Oh hi, yeah, my name is Dan Lok, and nice to meet you."

「你好，我的名字是 Dan Lok，我很開心認識你。」

See how I'm not making eye contact, you feel like you're hiding something.

你看出我在閃避眼神了嗎？就好像在躲藏著什麼一樣。

Look at them, look them in the eyes.

看著他們，看著他們的眼睛。

"Hi, my name is Dan Lok.

「嗨，我的名字是 Dan Lok。」

"Very nice to meet you."

「很高興認識你。」

See?

看到了嗎？

"So what brought you to this event?"

「所以是什麼原因讓你來到這裡？」

Boom, just like that.

哇，就像這樣。

So, practice it.

所以，多練習。

Test it out.

試試看。

Let me know if this works for you.

讓我知道這個方法有沒有效。
