Starting a new job where I will definitely have to introduce myself to my new coworkers Introducing myself makes me particularly nervous because it is the first impression people have of me. I’m generally pretty fluent, however my name has caused me some serious stumbles. Any suggestions on how I can make it through this first day without stuttering on my name?
