Introduce Yourself in 30 Seconds

Today’s practice

Choose a familiar topic without sensitive personal or workplace details. Use a comfortable voice and stop if you feel pain, strain or dizziness. Record on your own device if you want to compare attempts.

1. Step 1Write a 30-second introduction: name, what you do, one thing you are working on or enjoy.
   Done
2. Step 2Say it aloud three times, changing a few words each time.
   Done
3. Step 3Record the final version and time it.
   Done

Review your attempt

• Did it end clearly, or trail off?
• Which detail would make someone want to ask a follow-up question?

Note a specific phrase or timestamp rather than giving yourself a general score. No clear change is also a useful observation. Try the same task again at your next practice session.

Use the five-point recording rubric to review clarity, pacing, organisation, delivery and connection.
