How should you be introduced when you're speaking? How should you ask someone to introduce you the smartest thing you can do, right? The introduction for the person who's going to introduce you be very specific, you want to be as brief as possible, but as thorough as possible as far as what the audience needs to know about you, in order to see relevance in this presentation and why they need to listen to you and how you can benefit them. So if I am talking to an audience about how to speak more effectively, I'm going to have the person introducing the talk about my speaking experiences, other people I've spoken to, I'm not going to have them talk about where I went to college or what my hobbies are. I'm going to focus on what's most interesting and relevant to the audience, to whet their appetite to make them want to know more about me to make them want to hear about me.

That's what you need to do to So it's not your whole bio. It's not your Wikipedia page. It's not your entire curriculum and every graduate course you've ever taken, every paper you've written, it's got to be entirely focused on what's relevant to the audience. Based on what you're talking about today. Do that. And you'll be in great shape.

Also, write it up in large font, double spaced, hand it to the person who's going to introduce you makes life really easy for them.
