How does engineering director Dan Na present to executives to preserve time and propel meeting efficiency?
As an engineering director, I’m occasionally invited to represent my engineering teams in cross-functional meetings that include C-suite members. Experience has informed my perspectives on how meetings are effectively planned for this level of seniority.
Over the years I’ve both delivered and coached many coworkers through giving presentations, urging them to tell the audience a story as a story helps keep audiences engaged and leaves them with lessons they may apply to their work.
This advice applies in almost all other venues for public speaking with one exception: presenting to executives, which requires you to deliver “crisp asks” instead.
