Going Deep vs Headlines

Chris Clearfield

Imagine: Your big meeting with the CEO and senior stakeholders is finally here. They want updates on a big project, and there’s a lot to cover. You’ve got everything well-documented and are ready to do a deep-dive of everything you’ve learned, but you only have an hour to cover it all! 

 

How do you boil down the details of a project you’ve worked on for months into a presentation for senior members who only think about the issue once a year?

 

How do you make the greatest impact without overwhelming leaders with details that may not actually matter to them?

 

After all, you’ve spent months in the nitty gritty of this work, but this project may be just one of many tasks competing for your senior leaders’ brain space. 

 

How do you keep yourself from wasting valuable time on irrelevant details?

 

I have a strategy that will help you be more effective in the meetings that matter.

 

In this video I will show you how to craft “headlines” to help you direct the conversation and keep it focused on issues that interest the senior folks the most. With this simple strategy you can make a greater impact and be more grounded and relaxed in your meetings while knowing you are addressing exactly what your bosses care about. 

 

 

Watch the video and let me know how you can use the Headlines strategy in your next presentation with a senior stakeholder.
