The Executive Presentation Playbook Nobody Hands You

Picture this: you've spent hours preparing for an executive presentation. Thirty seconds in, someone interrupts you. Your instinct says it's going sideways. It's probably not. I've been collecting insights from leaders who've sat on both sides of the table, and one thing keeps coming up: understanding how executives think is one of those unwritten corporate rules nobody hands you a guide for.

Happy Mothers Day! To the moms showing up even when the calendar is full and the timing isn’t perfect...this one’s for you. 🌸
I’m taking a little trip down memory lane today on the blog. 
Back in early 2020, I almost said no to volunteering at my son Dylan’s middle school for Career Day. 
Work was busy, my plate was full, and I’d pulled the classic move of offering to be a “backup” …fully expecting not to be called.
Spoiler alert: I was called.
What followed involved poster boards, a laptop demo, candy bribes, and the very humbling experience of trying to make digital marketing sound cool to 7th & 8th graders all while standing next to a fireman.
When it was over, I asked Dylan how he thought it went. His answer is the whole reason I wrote today’s post.
This Mother’s Day, I’m grateful for the yes I almost didn’t say. 🥰
Full story is on the blog. Link in bio.
