Hi Reader Have you ever sat through a status update and wondered... "What was the point of that?" Most status updates are full of information—but very little clarity.

Hi Reader, Hope you are off to a great start this week. If you remember (if you had read!) in my last email, I promised I'd share the shift that helped me bridge the gap between understanding something and explaining it clearly. It's a very simple shift and here it is... I stopped preparing for myself. And started preparing for my audience. At first, that sounds like the same thing. It isn't. When most of us prepare, we ask questions like: Do I know this well enough? What if they ask me a...
