Introducing yourself is the first responsibility in a proper introduction. Always present yourself, you cannot do that too much. "Hello my name is..." is a proper self-introduction.

When you have a network at work, however, use it to introduce people to those they do not know. This way you help others expand their network, and they will not only remember and keep up with those they meet, but with you, as well.

Using the art of the introduction, you will not only connect people to others in your organization, but will be exuding executive presence.

Seek out opportunities to formally introduce people. Perhaps a new hire could benefit from being introduced to someone in another department, or a vendor to someone they may not normally interact with.

The rules of introducing are simple. First decide in the situation who the most important person is. Say that person's name first. Then use the words "To You". Example: Carl Rogers, I would like to introduce TO YOU, and then say the other person's name.
