Phyllis Davis (Business Etiquette Consultant) gives expert video advice on: How can I look gracious when making an introduction?
How can I look gracious when making an introduction?
Looking gracious when making an introduction is done with a smile. Now, let me talk about the smile for a minute. And I want everybody who's listening today to practice this. I want you to go in the bathroom and learn to smile and talk through your teeth. It seems very counter-intuitive in this regard too, but if you learn to talk through your teeth, you look relaxed and happy and comfortable and approachable, and thus gracious when making an introduction. So do an introduction while you're smiling and your teeth show. It's very congenial, but it must be done in a state showing you're excited to introduce these two people. So, show your teeth. I show my teeth a lot when I'm speaking and teaching. It seems so funny, doesn't it? But, it really makes a difference because it makes you look relaxed and more gracious when you are making an introduction.
