The Five-Word Introduction: Claim Your Voice in 5 Words

Too often we shrink our identity into a vague elevator pitch or stay silent because we don’t know where to start. In this episode Maya walks listeners through a simple, powerful tool: the Five-Word Introduction. In one short, repeatable line you can anchor your presence, reduce anxiety, and invite the exact kind of interaction you want. You’ll hear a compact real-life example of this working in a networking room, then learn a three-step method to craft your five words (identity + value + tiny ask). This episode is practical, conversational, and built for action: by the end you’ll have a draft to try tonight. It’s perfect for leaders, introverts, career climbers, and anyone tired of waiting to be seen. Use brevity to stop hiding and start being remembered.
