Introducing myself

Does anyone know what you need to say when introducing yourself, when in a group training session. I thought of perhaps, Good morning my name is ----- i am -- years old, married with two teenaged boys, however then i get stuck, or is that enough, do you think?

I think this depends on the training atmosphere and expectations. For instance, if you're at a corporate meeting with members from across the country the expectation might be that you'll state your name, which office you're from, your position or duties, and what you hope to gain from the training.

I would start off with smile and say hi my name is ____ have you ever heard this person speak before. If they say no you could have done some research on the speaker and inform them a little. If they say yes, you can ask them how they like the speaker and what specifically they find like about the speaker.

Try thinking more about the person you are talking to and what might interest them. Most of the time it is themselves, so if they have a nice suit, piece of jewlery or something else say so.
