Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Leadership Story Telling and Presenting-up

Architects and Leaders need to influence senior leadership to sell an idea, tell a story, a significant ask. Unfortunately, senior leaders do not have time for traditional presentations, which conclude at the end. This workshop will explore various ways to prepare for senior leadership.

Through case studies, we will explore a top-down methodology to prepare ourselves for the meeting. Do you need to present at the Architecture Review Board (ARB)?
Starting with the bottom line helps us cut to the chase on what is the ask? Why are you asking, what are the alternatives, what are the recommendations?

This talk would be helpful for anyone who needs to present at the architecture review board and C-Level executives.

Steve Job has said, “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda of an entire generation that is to come.”
