How to Introduce Yourself Like a CEO | English podcast for intermediate learners (B1-B2)

🎙️ Welcome back to the English Time Podcast!
Have you ever met someone new and suddenly felt your brain "freeze"? You forget your words, stumble over your grammar, or ramble on for too long. It happens to the best of us!
In today’s episode, we are breaking down the art of the "CEO-Style Introduction." It’s not about being bossy or arrogant—it’s about being calm, clear, and memorable. Whether you are at a business networking event or a casual party, we will teach you how to introduce yourself without the stress.

💡 What You Will Learn in This Episode:
🎬 The "Movie Trailer" Concept: Why you shouldn’t tell your whole life story, but just give a "peek" to make people curious.
🔑 The 3-Step Formula:
Your Name.
What you do (Keep it simple!).
The Hook: A unique detail that makes you memorable.
🧠 Mindset Shift: How to stop treating introductions like a test and start treating them like a conversation.
🎭 Role-Play Scenarios: Watch us practice introductions for both Formal Business Settings and Casual Parties.
🗣️ Grammar Tip: Why saying "I've been working..." sounds smoother than "I am working..."

📚 Key Vocabulary & Idioms:
The Hook: A specific detail or fact about yourself that grabs attention and invites questions.
Adjust the Wrapper: Keeping your core message the same but changing how you present it based on the situation (formal vs. casual).
A Two-Way Street: A conversation where both people participate equally; not a monologue.
Muscle Memory: Practicing something enough times that you can do it without thinking.
💬 Discussion Question:
We want to hear from you!

Is it a fun fact about your job? A reason why you love English? Or a unique hobby?
