I am always shaking in my shoes when I have to present to the board and I need some tips that will alleviate this or maybe presentation secrets you have?

One thing I do when presenting is try to imagine I am talking to one person in the room at a time, explaining my point or my slide. Look then right in the eyes and talk to them. Then next point, I move to another person. So I’m not “talking to the room” but talking to individuals. It helps me be more human and use natural speech etc.
It’s not a monologue or speech.
It’s a conversation with people about a subject you are the expert in. You got this.

This. I wasn’t even aware of them until I struggled through presenting at a fairly big conference and learned every other speaker was taking them 😆. Just helps with the physical symptoms of nervousness so you can concentrate.

I always make a joke out of it. I generally have a pretty jokIng personality, so nobody's really surprised. I always reminded them at the beginning of my presentation that I'm a Director not a comedian. The laughter releases the tension and makes me feel better.

I’ll need to start reporting to the Board and I also struggle with anxiety on this. Commenting for solidarity and to hear other women’s tips!

At 18 years old, my home attendant mom, who had never worked in corporate America, told me on my first day at AMEX. They get on the train, brush their teeth (hopefully), and 💩 just like everyone else. Don't ever believe they are superior to you!

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
