I have a high-stakes moment coming up:

[a board call / negotiation / critical pitch / hire decision β€” who it's with, what it's about, what I want out of it, what could go wrong]

Brief me the way a sharp chief of staff would. Give me:
1. The 3 things I absolutely need to know walking in.
2. What the other side likely wants β€” stated and unstated.
3. The 2 questions that would shift this in my favor.
4. The one risk or landmine I should watch for.
5. My single clearest objective, in one sentence.

[Upcoming: renewal call with our largest account, Thursday 2pm.] Brief me like a chief of staff. 3 things to know, what they want stated/unstated, 2 questions ...
3 things to know walking in: 1. Their usage is up 30% but they've opened 2 support escalations this month β€” they're getting value but feeling friction. 2. Their champion (Dana) got promoted in Q1; the new budget owner hasn't met you. 3. Contract auto-renews in 45 days β€” silence favors you, not them. What they want (unstated): proof this ...
If you only walk in with that, you're already ahead of most rooms.
Five minutes of this beats an hour of the prep you weren't going to do anyway.
TODAY'S INSIGHT
Preparation used to take an hour you didn't have. Now it takes five minutes you do.
