Readings

Read Section 15.6: Introducing a speaker, in Saylor Academy (Ed.) 2012. Business Communication for Success. (See page(s) 592 - 593 in PDF version.)

This reading discusses how to introduce speakers in a courteous, professional manner. Effective introductions involve establishing the speaker’s credibility, highlighting their accomplishments, and motivating audience interest. Remember that audience-centred principles when giving introductions are just as important as in any other informative business speech.
