Presenting to executives

Presenting to executives at your company is different than giving a presentation to your team, other teams, at a meetup, a conference, or customers. When asked to present to a group of senior leaders from your company, you need to structure your presentation differently, prepare differently, and communicate differently than when speaking to other audiences.

Positive exposure with senior leaders in an organization is valuable for career advancement. It is an excellent opportunity.

This talk presents some concrete strategies for planning your presentation, preparing the attendees, handling unexpected questions, going down rabbit holes, driving the attendees to a decision (if that is your goal), and following up afterward.
