A Chief of Staff struggles to make three different presentations - an internal all hands update, a customer pitch, and a board meeting - feel meaningful and tailored for each audience. Emily suggests using common core info but adding exclusive details for each group, plus using questions from past meetings to anticipate concerns and adjust content. Real examples include noticing trends in employee questions about pay raises or office changes, collecting follow-up questions from strategic partners, and asking board members what matters most to them.
