Tell Me about Yourself
Tell Me about Yourself: Six Steps for Accurate and Artful Self-Definition | Holley M. Murchison
12 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
From artists to entrepreneurs, students looking for their first jobs to organizational leaders, public figures and speakers, Tell Me About Yourself helps bolster confidence and authentic communication in life's most vulnerable moments. Treading on a proven six-step process, founder and CEO of Oratory Glory, Holley Murchison, teaches you how to craft and deliver a comprehensive, compelling and generally kick-ass introduction. * Step One: Revisit your introduction scenarios * Step Two: Identify your audience * Step Three: Clarify your response time and intent * Step Four: Reframe the question * Step Five: Decide what information you want to share * Step Six: Build your story When there's just one chance to make a first impression, the way we express who we are becomes the most important part of our conversations. Making a bad impression puts our potential for success on shaky ground, thereby stunting our growth and chance to make an impact in the world. Implementing the wisdom of this book and Murchison's methodology, even those of us who are shy can make a lasting first impression.

So, more about me 😉
All books need love so both.
If it's a series then a short one but standalones are ok.
Coffee but a good hot tea always hits the spot.
Candle.
It depends but generally speaking neutral. My favorite colors are blue and purple though.
Fuzzy socks
Funko pop figures are fun!

3. Coffee, cinnamon (pine gives me asthma attacks)

1) depends on how much I'm working - 20-25ish?
2) print
3) fantasy, horror/creepy stories
4) romance, biography
5) boogers and stains in library books
6) the escapism factor
