From Forgettable to Unforgettable: How Your Only You Statement and Unique Value Add Change Everything

Last week we hosted a how-to session on Building A 10-Step Plan for Your Career in Women’s Health.

In an hour, we walked participants through ten essential steps to breaking into the industry, from building networks to nailing interviews. TLDR: The 10 steps include:

  • Build Your Network

  • Uncover Your Unique Value Add

  • Zero in on Your Ideal Role

  • Get Discovered

  • Tell Your Story

  • Find Open Roles

  • Build a Strong Resume to Get an Interview

  • Interview with Impact

  • Negotiate Your Role

  • Set Yourself Up for Success

As part of the interactive discussion, everyone rated themselves on a scale of 1–10 for each step and shared their scores — a diagnostic snapshot of where the real pain points are in the job search. Then I crunched the data.

Of the 10 steps, The lowest scores clustered in three areas:

  • Step 2 – Uncovering Your Unique Value Add: translating past experience into a clear differentiator.

  • Step 4 – Visibility on LinkedIn: showing up publicly with confidence and consistency.

  • Step 5/6 – Resume & Profile Positioning: navigating ATS filters, highlighting personal women’s health experience.

This is where people like you are getting stuck in their job search.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll unpack each of these. We’ll take a deeper dive into why they matter — and how to think about them for your own career journey.

This week, we start with the one that sits at the center of it all: your Unique Value Add and your Only You Statement.

What They Are — and Why They Matter

Your Unique Value Add (UVA) is the set of skills, experiences, and traits that explain how you create value in an organization. It’s about the impact you can deliver — saving money, driving revenue, improving outcomes, or scaling systems.

  • “I combine consumer brand leadership with data-driven decision-making to grow trusted health products.”

  • “I’ve led cross-functional teams that reduced trial timelines by 20% and improved patient recruitment.”

This is what makes you valuable. But here’s the catch: in theory, someone else could have a similar UVA. Someone else could bring value to an organization in a similar way — by increasing revenue, reducing costs etc.

Your Only You Statement (OYS) is the next layer. It’s the one line that captures what can be said about only you. It’s where your story, motivations, and lived perspective turn your UVA into something memorable and repeatable. Something only you can say and that sticks in a hiring manager’s mind.

  • Example OYS (built from the first UVA): “I’m the only marketer who has scaled two global healthcare brands to $10M+ — and now I’m bringing that expertise to make women’s health products mainstream.”

  • Example OYS (built from the second UVA): “I’m the only researcher who bridges oncology science from over 20+ publications with operational know-how to get life-saving treatments to women faster.”

In short:

  • Unique Value Add = what makes you valuable.

  • Only You Statement = what makes you memorable.

Together, they need show up everywhere to have a consistent marketing presence throughout the hiring process. Threads from each show up in:

  • Your one-liner at a networking coffee.

  • Your 30-second elevator pitch.

  • Your long-form “Tell me about yourself” in an interview.

  • The headline of your LinkedIn profile.

  • The opening summary of your resume.

Without them, your story gets lost in the noise. With them, you stand out — and more importantly, you stick.

How to Start Finding Your Unique Value Add and Only You Statement

The good news? Everyone has a Unique Value Add (UVA) and an Only You Statement (OYS). The hard part is uncovering them — and putting them into words that feel true, memorable, and repeatable.

Your Unique Value Add is how you create value.
It’s the raw material: the skills, experiences, and traits that consistently move the needle. A UVA should answer: What problems do I solve? How do I save or make the company money? What outcomes can I prove with numbers?

Here’s how to start uncovering yours:

  • Do a Strengths Inventory: List your top skills, traits, and areas of expertise. Highlight the 2–3 that consistently show up across roles.

  • Look at Impact With Numbers: Scan your resume. Where did you save money, make money, or improve outcomes? Be specific — increased engagement by 30%, saved $200K, shortened timelines by 3 months.

  • Reflect on Peak Moments: Journal about 3–5 times you felt proud or successful. Ask: What was I doing? Who was I impacting? What feedback did I get?

  • Ask Trusted Colleagues: Try, “What do you rely on me for that no one else does?” Their answers often reveal your UVA more clearly than your own.

Your Only You Statement is how you make that value memorable.
It’s the expression of your UVA — the one line that captures what can be said about only you. It should be specific, sticky, and easy for someone else to repeat when advocating for you.

Here’s how to start drafting yours:

  • Start With This Prompt: Complete the sentence: “I am the only [role/profession] who can [unique contribution].”

    • Example: “I am the only women’s health marketer who combines storytelling with functional medicine expertise to double patient engagement.”

  • Test for Memorability: Say it out loud to a friend. Ask them 10 minutes later to repeat it. If they can’t, refine it until it sticks.

  • Add the Layer of Story or Motivation: Connect your UVA to your why.

    • Example: “I’m the only researcher who combines oncology science with operational know-how — because I’ve seen firsthand how delays cost lives.”

  • Use Feedback Loops: Share your draft with peers or mentors. If they say “That’s exactly you” or repeat it back to others, you’ve nailed it.

The distinction is simple:

  • UVA = what makes you valuable.

  • OYS = what makes you irreplaceable.

Struggling With This? You’re Not Alone.

Almost everyone stumbles here. Not because they lack skills or drive — but because this work requires emotional introspection. It means looking at your career, pulling apart your history, strengths, and impact, and distilling it into one line. It’s not easy.

But that’s also why the result is so powerful. Once you land on the line that feels inevitable and memorable, everything else — resume bullets, LinkedIn content, interview answers — falls into place.

Most people can brainstorm a UVA/OYS, but they stall when it comes to sharpening it into something memorable. That’s why inside the 10 Steps Women’s Health Career Mastermind, we devote a full 1.5 weeks to this step.

Participants don’t just draft statements; they run them through guided exercises, pressure-test them in small groups, and get direct feedback until their words are not only accurate but unforgettable. The accountability ensures you don’t quit halfway. The feedback makes the difference between a line that’s generic and one that changes the way you introduce yourself everywhere.

As one alum put it:

“This was the breakthrough moment for me. I walked away with a statement that finally captured who I am and what I bring — and for the first time, I felt confident introducing myself in any room. It changed how I show up everywhere, from interviews to networking.”

If you want support and accountability in building you Only You and Unique Value Add statements consider joining us in the final Women’s Health Career Mastermind of the year.

We only have 10 seats left — and if you’ve been considering the Women’s Health Mini-MBA there’s an over $500+ discount on both. 

If you’re ready to uncover your Unique Value Add and Only You Statements — and learn how to express it in a way people remember — this is your chance.

Lots of Career Sessions This Week!

We have lots of chances to get together this week for help and community around your job search. Join us for one of the following sessions:

You Know Me.

I’m your colleague. The mom at pickup. The nurse in the ER.

Like so many women, I’ve seen what happens when our health isn’t prioritized. I’ve lost hours in waiting rooms. I’ve watched loved ones suffer because the research didn’t exist, the doctor didn’t listen, or the policy made care impossible to reach.

So in addition to In Women’s Health, I’m working with 300+ women’s health execs to build a $900M economic and influence engine for women’s health.

This is not just another nonprofit or another campaign promise. It’s a platform designed to pool dollars, voices, and votes — the languages Washington can’t ignore.

This is not a collective. It’s an army. For us, our families, our future.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll hear more. You’ll see more.

But as IWH readers, you’re on the inside with me. Walking next to me as we build this.

Top Roles in Women’s Health: Your 2025 Field Guide

As women’s health scales from niche to necessity, new career paths are opening up in real time. The roles companies are hiring for aren’t random — they reveal what the sector is prioritizing and where your skills can make the biggest impact.

Clinical Operations — Building the Backbone

Startups and growth-stage companies expanding fertility, menopause, and maternal health programs need operational experts first. These roles keep patient care smooth, ensure compliance, and create scalable workflows. Even if you haven’t worked in women’s health, experience building systems in hospitals, clinical trials, or high-growth SaaS can translate directly.

Payer Strategy & Reimbursement — Unlocking Access

Reimbursement remains the biggest barrier to growth. Companies are actively hiring payer relations managers, contracting specialists, and reimbursement strategists. Without this work, new solutions never reach patients at scale — making it a critical lever for anyone interested in shaping the industry.

Product Management — Turning Insights into Tools

Digital health products are maturing quickly, and PMs who can translate patient and clinical insights into usable solutions are in high demand. Candidates with experience in consumer tech or SaaS are particularly valuable, as they bring the skills to design products that people actually use.

Marketing & Growth — Building Trust at Scale

Marketing in women’s health is unlike most sectors. It’s not just about acquisition — it’s about educating, building trust, and creating community. From menopause apps to fertility benefits, companies are hiring leaders who can connect science and story while growing their reach.

What This Means for You

These roles are growing fastest because they solve real bottlenecks in the women’s health ecosystem: scaling care, unlocking reimbursement, designing usable products, and earning patient trust. Many don’t require prior sector experience — transferable skills from SaaS, healthcare, or consumer health are highly valued.
