How to perform well in a high stakes meeting

I'm sharing all of the techniques and strategies that I used as a successful Director (so you can rock your next big meeting)

Ok, onto today’s leadership advice. On Tuesday, I did a Substack Live and we talked about meetings.

So let’s get into it, starting with the most important question that far too many of us NEVER ask…
