Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

How I wish to be introduced says much about myself and what I wish for myself and those around me.

How do you wish someone would introduce you at work or at a social setting (gosh, there is a variety of these)?

Here is something I would like to hear in the workplace:

This is Dr. Dwayne Phillips. He is here to observe and work with us on big items to enable us to accomplish our mission. While he is doing that, he will also … do the job that people usually think is important.

At the coffee shop:

This is Dwayne. He is here to enjoy coffee, company, conversation, and view the Internet a while. While he is doing that, he will also observe and take notes on the human condition.

What would you write for yourself?
