So glad to see this call for “time to build” submissions from The New Atlantis. I have too many ideas! Due date June 17: www.thenewatlantis.com/publicati…
A Call for Submissions — The New Atlantis

Dear Reader — In response to the “time to build” zeitgeist, we’re inviting writers to put cards on the table and tell us what, exactly, we should be building. Identify one specific project to launch or action to pursue that someone could start today with the requisite will and mandate. No pie in the sky . . . no “burn it all down and restart it from scratch” . . . no “let’s just move government to the blockchain.” Concretely, something a specific actor could do right now if they were properly motivated.

Wrote some thoughts about presenting to an executive audience, which I’ve had much more exposure to over the last several years. While some points are obvious (e.g. executives are extremely busy), the dynamics and outcomes of those points are things that would be less obvious to me without the reps.

To summarize my advice:

- For a 60 minute meeting, 15 minutes total presentation time and two topics, max.
- Make "crisp asks."
- Don't deliver a narrative.
