I Importance of "Speaking Upwards" - Describe the public speaking up-skilling you needed for each stage in your career.

a. Public speaking as an engineer - Think back to your first presentation to management as an engineer. How did you prepare? How did you feel leading up to it? How did it go? Looking back, knowing what you know now, what would you have changed?

i. selling your ideas?

ii. methods of persuasion?

iii. convincing management?

b. Public speaking as a Black Belt Project Leader - From engineer to BB, how did your style pivot?

i. Presenting to executives in the boardroom?

ii. Presenting to a mixed crowd (with executives, engineers, finance folks and hourly (union?) front-line workers?

c. Public speaking as a Product Manager -

i. interfacing with customers?

d. Public speaking as a CF Cornerman - What from your experience could you leverage? What was like starting from zero?

e. Public speaking as an author - With each "level-up" in venue, what do you do to "level-up" your style or approach?
