This cast gives our guidance on introducing people.

A while ago, Mark and Wendii traveled to an organization where Mark gave a presentation on career skills. Before Mark arrived, Wendii and the organizer had a long chat about Mark, his background and what qualified him to give this type of presentation. They also discussed his current work at Manager Tools.

When the organizer stood up to into introduce Mark, they both cringed. He was obviously uncomfortable speaking in public and either couldn't read or remember his notes. The event started with a fizzle rather than the bang we'd rather have seen. If you're asked to make this kind of introduction, what can you do to avoid the fizzle?
