“When you’re a young professional, you’re getting a lot of feedback, but oftentimes you can be overwhelmed…so you have to feel things out between what’s signal and what’s noise.”

Tongtong Wang, SVP and Global Head, Pharmaceuticals Technical Research & Development at Genentech offered powerful insight for early-career professionals at : not all feedback is created equal.

Learning to trust your instincts is just as important as listening well. Discernment is a skill—and a superpower.

Want to make an impact when presenting to senior leaders? Get to the point fast. ⚡️

Breakout Session Speaker and Executive Communication, Presence & Presentations Skills Coach Melissa Schwartz shared a truth we all need to hear: “We have to get out of our heads and into the heads of our stakeholders. What we care about isn’t always what senior leaders care about. In addition, we need to front load our content so we get to the point quickly and clearly."

When it comes to executive communication, lead with why (the goal) and what (the ask)—then fill in the rest if needed.
