Some key takeaways:

1. It takes 3 years to grow into a role

It’s not a sexy story. Once you’re a VP, you’re a VP, right? Well, it takes time to learn to be an executive. It took Rands about 3 years, so you likely won’t be able to figure out a completely new role in 3 hours.
2. Tell the truth ASAP

Always tell the truth quickly. However, handing out random facts isn’t helpful. You need to examine them, put them into context, and tell a story about what you can learn from them.

Always tell the truth asap, but don’t “YOLO the comms.”
