As stated two weeks ago, I’m spending a bit more time on my newsletter talking about managing up and speaking with those in roles above you. This week I wanted to talk about presenting to senior leadership. If you’re in a position where you’re presenting regular updates to a senior leadership team, your communication and presentation style will likely need to change vs. providing updates to your direct peers.

I’ve spoken with many engineering managers over time who fear presenting to senior leaders. Will they judge my performance? Will I sound stupid? What if I can’t answer their questions?
