All-hands meetings are prime real estate for visibility. Donโt just sit in the audience, ask to take the mic.

Whether itโs a project you led, a new process you introduced, or lessons learned from a tough challenge, your insights can help others and grow your influence.
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐๐ธ: "I'd love to share our learnings from [project/initiative] at the next all-hands. I think the team would benefit from hearing about [specific insights/tools/processes], and it would be great practice for my communication skills."

โข Builds your internal brand and visibility
โข Demonstrates your ability to communicate complex topics
โข Shows you're thinking about knowledge sharing
โข Gives you practice with executive communication
Choose a topic you're genuinely excited about and that provides value to the audience. Prepare for questions and practice beforehand.
Even a 10-minute presentation can significantly raise your profile within the organization!
