How do you Introduce Your Colleagues?

OK, so maybe you have created a "laser introduction" for yourself. It describes you and what you do in a way that gets people interested.

How do you introduce your colleagues to others? Most of the time you just introduce them with their name. You are at lunch with a colleague and you see somebody you know and you make the introduction. Simple.

What about in a more formal situation? Maybe you are introducing a colleague to a client? What do you say? What are the one or two POSITIVE & MEMORABLE things you can say about your main colleagues?

Why does this really matter? It matters to your colleagues. A positive introduction tells them what you think about them and it also sets the tone to the client. If first impressions are so important then maybe first introductions are REALLY important.

Think about it. Consider spending some time in creating fascinating introductions of your colleagues. They will appreciate it and they will really remember it. They might even live up to it!
