💡 Tip — Day 108
SOAP Answer — four lines that keep exec Q&A under 30 seconds 1. Statement: give the straight answer first (“Yes, we can ship by 6/30.”) 2. Outcome: name the metric or risk at stake (“Hits FY churn target—saves ~$140k.”) 3. Approach: one sentence on how you’ll make it true (“Pulling two contractors onto QA, nightly regression kicks off Monday.”) 4. Proof: a concrete data point or precedent (“Same swap cut bug backlog 23 % last quarter.”) 🎯 Try this today: Pick one hard question you expect in your next leadership meeting—draft its four-line SOAP Answer and rehearse it once before you log on.
