They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.

Strategy is so weird. If you do your job right, you simplify complex things to the point that anyone can feel like an expert.
