Why this topic matters

Updates become prime ground for showcasing our victories and communications. And yet even the bright and ambitious stumble with updating leaders & high-stakes customers. Overthinking kicks in. Worries about language ability. And brain freeze on where and how to start. We discount our contributions in those moments, through wordiness and burying what time-pressed audiences want most: Our progress.
