How to introduce yourself | Kevin Bahler | TEDxLehighRiver

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How you introduce yourself is usually the weakest explanation of who you really are.
grant writer, Allentown Symphony Association
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Basically because he’s telling a story that they find themselves in there, no one gonna laughs out loud when the story is about them ( especially when the show is more about confession than Ted Talk )... But, I bet with u, many of them are smiling right there ( thinking how wrong they were when they were young ).

    It is "amusing" to see how comments here are like an echo of the high-school years as described by Kevin Bahler : basically, you are laugh at simply because you do things that other people don't do, because you do them your own way, or simply because of trying to be yourself. What I see here is an act of courage from a man that overcomes his fears and difficulties to share the scares of his past. And all of that, in the hope he could help at least some of us to have a better life. I would be proud to know Kevin and being among his friends...

    I love love love this Ted Talk. Kevin is wonderful, as I look back, I used to always think to myself during introductions "how can I introduce myself and not sound boring?" because let's be honest, most introductions or "name a fun fact about you" usually aren't as interesting as everyone tries to fit in or sound the same. It always falls down to thinking "what do I love to do?" and it always stands out to people. I love being what people today call weird. Embracing myself attracts those alike and keeps those who aren't away! Subhan'Allah. Be yourself!

This ted talk is eye opening, yes it is challenging to put your true self out there but if that is the cost of getting REAL people in your life, be it. 💜

    First of all, congratulations to the guy for at least having a go. And sure he lacks the charisma of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, but this is a TED Talk. What can he do to make himself 'be alive' and full of enthusiasm? What can he do to better connect with his audience? It was interesting to see he started off with closed gestures and later warmed up to so big wide open ones. Many have commented that his humour failed or missed the mark...If I had more time, I'd watch it again to see if he closed off when the joke appeared to bomb. This closed gesture is a protective one, a secure one. It does take a lot of practice and hard work over multiple presentations to pull off a great presentation. Given time, I sure this guy can nail one in the future. I wish him well.

    He's a product of Toastmasters and my guess is that he's locked into a style he learnt in that environment standing behind a lectern. There are many who advocate "The Speaker Stance" and this is what he has adopted. It's not wrong, but it's a great approach to grow speaker skills. I searched unsuccessfully to find his Toastmasters 'level'. Maybe he will demonstrate another style later on as he hones his skills. But please give him credit for not rocking or displaying aimless movement due to nervous energy.

    It's clear the audience was filled with muggles/basics/robots/I don't understand why you don't want to sheep people. I laughed every time he said a joke. It was pretty much the reflection of everything he was discussing, it's just those people don't have anything about them that they would like to share without an alcoholic beverage or the right timing. So they will act like they don't understand strange, they will seem above it. But they all know they are weird and strange and by that I simply mean unique and do something a bit off the path from others around them. I think this was great.

    Here's a poem for my appreciation. Thank you! Empathy Amidst the shadows that taunt my soul, Demons beckon, their allure taking its toll. In the darkest corners, they seductively sway, As I battle my demons day by day. Emotional turmoil and unbearable stress, The weight upon my heart, I confess. The darker side of my personality lures, Whispering temptations, offering no cures. In moments when all seems lost, When darkness engulfs, consuming the most, A flicker of light, a belief holds true, In empathy’s power, I find strength anew. Through shattered dreams and broken trust, Empathy lingers, a shield of just. In understanding others, I see my own plight, A connection that guides me towards the light. But in the depths of despair, doubts creep, Will empathy alone be enough to keep? In this chaotic world of pain and sorrow, Can it withstand the trials we must borrow? I question the depth of my belief, As demons whisper, sowing seeds of grief. Yet deep within, a glimmer remains, A flickering flame that steadfastly sustains. For empathy, though fragile in its grace, Holds the power to heal, to erase. It bridges the gap between our hearts, In moments of darkness, it imparts. So, I shall fight against the raging tide, Embracing empathy, I will not hide. Though wavering at times, I will be strong, Finding solace in the understanding song. For even when demons clamor loud, I know empathy can break through the shroud. It binds us together and helps us mend, A force capable of bringing darkness to an end. So, let empathy be my guiding light, A beacon of hope in the darkest night. With it, I’ll navigate this troubled shore, And find my way to peace once more. By The New Aged Diogenes ( After Rehab )

    This is simple but so powerful. Personally I'm struggling with introducing myself to new faces or friends because I care too much about how they think about me and I'm afraid of giving out a bad first impression. But it is exactly this fear that stops me from being a passionate speaker as I can recall how dispassionate I have been talking to new friends, playing all the safe cards. They could only think of me as a dispassionate, low-energy guy who doesn't like to talk or socialize with people. I think it is time that I should stop caring so much what others think of me, and just be open and passionate about the things I truly love.

    This is fantastic! Spoken clearly, message well received, and displayed courage honestly sharing his story. As for some of the comments that are from people more focused on criticism then growth, you have a new introduction you can use "Hi, my name is...... and I have such low self esteem that I feel the need to try put others down to make myself look better using contrast" which I think is incredibly fitting. There's nothing wrong with your speech, that isn't cancelled out by what's right with your speech. You have a great message, and you shared it. The trolls here are simply people who have low self esteem, are insecure, and lack purpose in their lives. Keep up the great work Kevin.

    No one actually introduces themselves like that in the real world. People just give their name, they don't say anything about themselves. You can convey more about yourself by asking a question of the person you're speaking to than by saying anything about yourself. "Hi, I'm Devin. Do you watch many TED talks? Have any favorites?".

    Excellent talk. It´s all about fitting in and peer pressure. As you grow old, you let go of all your ¨shoulds¨and ¨musts¨, and you are finally telling the truth about yourself and you are also finally making friends with the people you truly like, That´s why introductions are so important. The truer they are, the better the communication and the more thruthful the friendships become.

    This was an interesting speech. We should always introduce ourselves by saying what we are passionate about, yet we all mention our jobs and our position. It is a sort of comparison we quickly make between individuals we meet. We automatically view people a certain way dependant on how they make a living rather than how they spend their free time.

    Geez you guys! His speech was great! There are bad audiences for everybody; it wasn't his fault. If they had laughed at his jokes you wouldn't be responding in such a negative way. Everyone's jokes are prepared at TED, so of course it looks that way. YOU try giving a freaking TED speech. Now seriously, shut the heck up and stop contributing to negativity based off of relative opinions.

    Wow, that was fantastic! Kevin Bahler, you are added to my list of people I admire. It was particularly thought-provoking to hear about how one's very identity of themselves and their life is related to how one introduces themselves, or at least their attitude when they do it. Which would seem to be a no-brainer, but it really isn't, because as Kevin said, people want to fit in, instead of being who they are.. o.O

    Very interesting and revealing about fear that people don't like to show but have, and interesting the answer that Mr. Kevin Bahler gave. Even on the comments we can see that fear in the words of the one's who didn't dare to be on TED stage. And so they think it's a brave act to make not very helpful and clever remarks.Just reveal the lacking of listening.

Remain the same, who you are and what you loved. 2. Honesty:- truthfulness in every profession shows the way to success, whether you are in job or in business. 3. Passion :- Do not hide your inner passion as it may become your profession one day.
