Self- Introductions

This is the easiest type of introduction. The only name you need to remember is your own. This is not the time to be shy. In all situations, self- introduction is fairly casual. . (“Hello, my name is Alex.”) The other person should respond “I am Lew. “It is nice to meet you Miss Williams.”

Someone may blurt out “What’s your name?” while forgetting to state his own. State your name before asking that person’s name.

When introducing yourself to a group of people, wait until there is a pause in their conversation. A hello and your name may be enough, but if you prefer to ask a question, introduce yourself and then ask the question. “Hello, I am Teresa. This is my first visit to your club, and I was wondering about tonight’s agenda.”)

At large events, you will NEED to introduce yourself if there is no one there to introduce you.

I hope that you have enjoyed these posts from the Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 Collection.

See you soon,

Ralph Lauren ~ Le Grand Hotel

The Spring 2010 Collection by Ralph Lauren is as beautiful as we have come to expect from this design giant. Classic and genius are words that present themselves into my mind when I open a magazine or email with his work displayed. This bedroom is no exception, and neither is the rest of the perfection in this collection, which I will show you in two posts, beginning with this one.

Rich textures, color, and wood are present in everything designed by Ralph Lauren.

Beautiful fabrics...

and beautifully finished wood.

Lavish whites...

wood...

and luxurious materials.

Accessories...

games...

and personal goods.

Beautiful dining furnishings...

accessories...

and to finish it all... a lovely bar.

The Order of Introductions

Who to introduce to whom is a subject we worry about needlessly. The person being introduced first is shown deference, based on seniority or prominence. The order in which a person is introduced is important, but if a mistake is made offence is not usually taken.

The four guidelines follow:

Younger person is introduced to an older person. (“Mrs. Quinn, I want to introduce you to my daughter, Angela Duke. Angela, this is aunt, Mrs. Quinn”.)

A person of high rank or prominence is named first and received the introduction. (“Princess Angela, may I present my husband C. J. ? ”) Always try to introduce your boss first when introducing them to a lower rank person. (Mr. Gunter, I would like for you to meet Ashley Griswold, who will begin work with us on Monday. Ashley, this is Mr. Gunter, president of our company.”)

When introducing others to family members, the other person’s name is said first. (“Alex, I would like for you to meet my cousin, Erin.”). But as a sign of respect, an older person is named first. (“Mother, I would like to introduce Lauren Williams. Lauren, this is my mother, Mrs. Teresa.”)

In social situations, men are introduced to women. (“Mrs. Jones, I would like to introduce Mr. Smith.”)

Tomorrow we will talk about self-introductions.

I hope that you have enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed designing it. Ralph Lauren gave me everything I needed to present it well.

See you soon,
Teresa
