Dear Reader,
If you’ve ever thought, “I did the work—why does no one see it?” you’re not alone. Most leaders won’t read the report you spent days perfecting. They scan in seconds, looking for the decision line and the signal that matters right now.
That’s why I use a simple packaging rule that changed my career: 1–6–2.
- 1 page for leaders – the decision, the context in one breath, and the impact.
- 6 slides for peers – problem → approach → impact → risks → next steps.
- 2 pages for the wider community – the repeatable method + resources so others can apply it.
Think of it like a passport for your work—the same story, translated to the right altitude. When your work travels, your name travels with it.
If “executive summary” feels uncomfortable, reframe it: it’s not cutting corners, it’s respecting how decisions actually happen. A great summary synthesizes the point and the proof so leaders can act.
Try this today (10 minutes):
- Open your last big deliverable.
- Write one sentence a VP would underline.
- Expand that into a one-pager: problem, what you did, what changed.
- Sketch six slides for the team review.
- Draft two pages for your community of practice so others can reuse the method.
Maybe you’ve felt this too: you’re not seeking attention—you’re stewarding impact. Excellence opens the first door. Visibility keeps opening the rest.
