Introducing Yourself Some people may find it hard to introduce themselves to a stranger. Here are some tips to make it easier: ____________ It's important to look straight in someone's eyes, if you can't do so, just focus on a point between their eyebrows. ____________ A nice, bright smile could help you a lot. It will draw people in. ____________ Shaking hands firmly can show your self-confidence. But don't shake too hard, and release your grip after two or three seconds.
