In this brief presentation, Lorraine K. Lee introduces the concept of a Unique and Powerful Introduction (UPI) as a tool for communicating more impactfully and confidently at work. She explains that a UPI should include several key components: a clear description of one’s role beyond the job title, the specific work or actions performed, the end‑user or audience the work serves, any team mission statement or success metrics that guide the work, and a few personal details to humanize the introduction. By consistently using this structured introduction, teammates can quickly understand each other's contributions, align around shared goals, and boost confidence in professional interactions.

Hello everyone, I am so excited to be here with all of you today to talk about how we are going to communicate more impactfully and with more confidence. And we're going to do that by establishing our UPIs. And UPI stands for Unique and Powerful Introduction. So what exactly goes into a UPI? Your role, certainly, like all of you had. What you do, so you might want to describe your role beyond just the title, right? Who you do it for and who's your end user, if you have that, depending on your role. Maybe your team has a mission statement or certain success metrics that you focus on that I think would be helpful for other teammates to know. And then just general information about yourself.
