This short video/transcript (hosted by Drew Bridewell) gives practical advice for preparing an imminent presentation: set a clear, ambitious intention (define goals and desired outcomes), explain the problem and current status, walk the audience step-by-step through the product experience, and remain open and welcoming to feedback.

Like just to say, today you're about to go into a presentation and today just so happens we have a presentation. So what do you do to think about and to prepare for your presentations and things that are coming up? So the first thing that I want you to think about before you dive into this, you know, this presentation that you're about to go to your office and figure out is the first thing you got to do is set massive intention. So thinking about what is the goal and outcome of what it is you're trying to get across today. So for me, for today, I'm trying to get across the new, entirely new user experience. So I'm going to set the context, I'm going to make sure they understand the problem we're solving. I want to make sure that the team understands what we want to get out of the session, like what kind of feedback we're looking for and where we're currently at in the process. Then what I'm going to do is just walk through and baby steps this product experience and show and demonstrate. Just know that when you do this, you always have to be welcoming and open to feedback. Feedback is going to come in.
