Weeknote: Understand your meeting audience (#RookieMove)

Weeknote #9

Favorite lesson from co-workers: Underpromise and overdeliver.

— -

What did I learn this week?

That I’ve forgotten how to present to the C-suite.

In the most amazingly embarrassing way.

Specific advice to myself:

1. Understand the underlying meeting objective: e.g. Vision alignment over tracking
2. Only the necessary details
3. PM content needs are not the same as C-suite content needs

Also, note to self:

• Finally recraft how you share userflows.

You’ve gone through three presentations where the way you presented userflows was for a design team, not for a business unit. Keep your audience in mind.

The best lessons are learned on-the-job.

⏩ 👫 If you found this helpful, please share it to the people it can help, too.

As I mention in weeknotes I write, I’m a fan of designing in the open.
